Vehicle: 2017 Civic Si sedan

Total tuned time: 21 months

Total tuned mileage: 50,000 miles :)

Tuning device(s) used: Ktuner v1.2

Tunes used: vit viper stage 1 at 5k. Custom javi ethanol tune by 40k

Fuel used: Shell 93, 76 93 and 76 e40 blend

Additional engine mods: Rv6 catless downpipe, MAP intake, PRL Intercooler, PRL flex fuel kit

Problems/issues: None at all

Driving style: somewhat aggressive, like if I’m running late to work lol. I go for a few runs when I can’t sleep around this empty mall/backroad. Maybe a small pull daily but not necessarily to redline. I also keep tuner view on my screen and don’t do back to back pulls. I also try to avoid doing pulls while it’s too hot out but I live in south Florida it’s always hot.

Vehicle: 2018 Civic Touring Sedan CVT

Total tuned time: 1 year 3 months

Total tuned mileage: ~8000 miles

Tuning device(s) used: Hondata Flashpro

Tunes used: +6 basemap with Dual calibration, (stock tune and DIY modified +6 basemap tune) current configuration.

Fuel used: Chevron, Costco or Exxon 92 Octane

Additional engine/other mods:








Problems/issues: Randomly (once a month to every few months) I will get a low flow Cell pop up and go away. Have tried duplicating it to figure out and I thought I gota recall from Honda about it but couldn't find the recall anywhere and the stealership near me had no record of it. No other performance issues.

Driving style: Daily driver, sometimes aggressive/spirited driving. Eco mode is my stock basemap setting and actually gets less gas mileage than my modified +6 psi basemap if Im taking it easy little to no spirited driving.

How did you install the 4 bar maps since you need two of them?
You remove the oem 2 and replace them with the 4 bars, there's an option in Ktuner to enable them. Very very easy!

Derreck's presence in this discussion makes me realize how much they care about selling a reliable product.

Yep hopefully I can get another 50 with no problems! I definitely don’t baby the car but I think I’m decently responsible with her
