@@AliEsko LOL the N sounds fun bro, the crackles and bang! But it was just lacking power I needed. I had a Veloster N. Although, I traded it in for a Type R, best decision ever imo!
Great info guys, thanks for sharing! As an owner I love seeing this stuff before making decisions on the future of mine. Was there any video of tuning done with aftermarket bolt-ons (IC, DP, etc.) like in issue #203? That would be nice to see too!
Thank you , Nick. We tested the AEM Intake, REMARK Catback Exhaust, Full-Race Intercooler, as well as the Hondata FlashPro on this Type R. Here's the link to the AEM intake testing. We will release the rest of the videos for this car soon. Stay "tuned" 😉😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wrhJJao-PNo.html
Question! I recently bought a 2020 civic type R it’s already boosted up to 500WHP for sale from the dealership but the aem boost gauge isn’t wired nor there is Hondata flash pro. Do I really need to have a Hondata flash pro even though it’s already boosted?
They're both pretty capable. Hondata just offers a few things that make the owner's life easier. However, both are always being updated. So, it comes down to personal preference and features, as well as what is more important to you.
We did more testing on it, including exhaust, intake, and intercooler. We will be releasing them soon. Stay tuned and subscribe please. Thank you Colin.
Wouldn't call that a dip. That's more like a hiccup. Since this is occurring after the RPM of peak torque, cylinder pressures are on the decline. Normally, this means that you may want to be adding in back some slight amount of ignition timing. Since the Honda ECU is constantly making changes based on the feedback from O2 and knock sensors, we could just be witnessing a spot where the timing change is taking place. It could also be where the boost controller is increasing the wastegate duty cycle. There is also the possibility that other factors are at play. You have to remember there are a lot of things happening concurrently from injection events, ignition events and cam timing events. What isn't changing are the shapes of the piston and the combustion chamber. It is possible that at that particular engine speed, that volumetric efficiency or combustion efficiency drops. Bottom line is that finding the actual cause may not be feasible in some cases. Notice how the OEM Honda calibration also had a hiccup at this same engine speed.
Why hondas need 1,000s of $$ just to gain some extra hp? I used to have a 2018 GTI that will pick up 80hp from just a 93 tune done right at home.CTR need to upgrade intercooler,intake dp,full exhaust,hondata and other tweaks in order to gain 80hp.Take this Hondata for example: that's almost 1,000$ for just 20hp.
@Sergio e85?? U can't run e85 on a Ctr till u spend 3k on a hondata fuel upgrade,I know what I'm talking about cause I have a 2019 running e20 which is the most u can run before your weak system max out.So let's say that u need 8k$ to get those extra 100hp and I seen lot of guys blowing up them engines.
@Sergio and E20 is your limit,now u need another 6k to over over that ceiling cause your weak fuel system. Now to all the blown out motors i seen at the dealership cause u pushing over the limit,bottom end they not that good like old k20 k24s. Don't be defending it,I do have a 2019 CTR and is the wrong platform for power but they great around the curves to go ahead and take your civic to some place where u can do hard turns,that's where u win my friend. *open your eyes,had u seen all the used CTRs for sale lately????
@Sergio 2,900 but not everybody knows how to install that fuel kit, all that typing and when u planning to add clutch to the mix?? So now you on the 10k mark just to hug the 500hp club. Hondata alone is almost 1k.
@Sergio so you think every guy into cars can do that type of work? Lot of guys can't even change a flat tire😅😅😅🤣 You gotta be nuts to pay almost 40k for a civic and add another 8-10k on upgrades just to be stucked on the 500hp mark. You should know by now that u need clutch and bigger turbo,now we way over the 10k.You know what? Is just not worth it,go back to the track where u can beat some,after all is just a civic that is only good around the corners. Me when someone like u mention a 1,000hp civic--->🙄
Dyno set up plays a role as well. A dyno operator can make any car look like it has the amount of power someone wants to see. A dyno should be viewed as a before and after tuning tool, not a single snapshot in time. The important part is how much power you picked up after changes, not how much the overall final number is.
@@unicornmeat4775 Exactly. This is why we do before and after and use the same dyno operator, conditions, etc. This way we have a solid foundation to see the gains.
@@dsport Thank you very much for your swift reply. Somewhat saddened however as I live in the UK and struggling to find anyone who can tune my Honda FK8.
The GTI's power is also underrated from the factory. We Dyno'd a 2018 GTI, and it was 236 horsepower to the wheels even though it was advertised at 220 to the flywheel. But to your point, the GTI has tons of potential with tuning.
@@dsport all euro cars do,you can do a flash and dp on a GTI and that gain an easy 100hp. Civics need fbo n some more to get up there.This new engine is not as strong as the old k24s.
@@dsport australia and i only ever run 98 even when petrol prices are high ill only ever drop to 95 and thats for my daily stock cars..most peeps here who have tuned cars now just run e85 as its readily available these days..the only time id run 91 would be either in a rental or in someone i didnt likes car
Hey Kyle, it's not actually misfiring. We don't have any filters on the Dyno, we have the Smoothing set at 1. Also, if we use higher octane fuel (CA fuel sucks) we would see smoother curves and timing.
That sucks. They should still have it everywhere, but your best bet is to get it directly from us. We have great deals going currently if you're interested. Here's the link. store.dsportmag.com/Subscriptions_c_14.html
