I'm glad you're enjoying the tune, but I'd like to clarify I never worked for TSP. Two Step Performance contracted me to develop their off the shelf calibrations. I have always been "Innovative MotorWorks," since 2008.
This tune running E30-40 with almost Full Bolt-ons (missing big turbo (turbo tune), charge pipes/intercooler, racing maf) gaps a lot of cars. Been running it since March of 2022. I am pretty sure it is faster than a stock Type R. Stock clutch did slip at times, but if you don't bang it 24/7 it will work when it needs to. I have the RV6 CTR fly wheel with the stage 1 clutch in the box brand new, but no need to swap since the stock clutch is still working fine.
I’ll never mod my Si lol it’s the perfect daily stock, no need to touch it except for rims. I just like watching what others do to them and see what these L15s can do. I have an evo so that’s my adrenaline rush 🤣
Awesome review as always!! I owned a 2017 Si for two years and then I bought a 2019 Sonic Gray Pearl Type R! I kept the Si completely stock and I loved it! I also haven’t done any performance mods on my type R but am debating whether I should or not!! I am a big Honda fan and have enjoyed every Honda I have owned!! Thanks for the great video!! Keep up the amazing content! Have a great week and God bless!!
Bro I have to agree with you Mr. Robinson knows his stuff, I'm from Trinidad in the caribbean where our fuel is crap and Derek is working very hard to tune my NON SI CIVIC, bro some of his revisions for testing is amazing the car pulls so hard with that CVT, thumbs up to Mr. Robinson.
Awesome man, thanks for making the video! I would love to get the flex fuel kit and tsp stage 2, but I already have full bolt-ones and am worried it would break the engine! 😬 I push the car pretty hard on the daily -- it's just too fun not to!
Thanks for watching brotha! Haha I don't blame you. Don't get me wrong stage 2 is definitely a lot of fun but considering you're FBO and i'm assuming on a stock clutch, it won't do much but work against you lol
Nicholas Kelley oh then that’s even better! But I hear you. There’s always that small chance of something happening unfortunately, but that’s with anyone especially tuned. If you’d rather have piece of mind then it’s worth not making the jump 👍🏼
Seems like these engines can take some abuse take for example E-man I've seen his Civic has all stock internals making 500~hp and he dailys it lol and it's a 2017
Hey man quick question. Did you ever have problems in the long run while running flex fuel? I want to get this kit as it would complete the fbo on my car but I’m scared it’s gonna blow up something on my car or run into major issues :/.
Is the tsp a plug and play? I have a stock 2020 Honda Civic sport 2.0 not turbo. With a manual transmission. What could I use on my car without voiding warranty and I may put a K&n air intake system soon to replace the stock housing
jay czyzyk because it’s a safe tune and it’s all about being smart and how hard you push your car. Obviously the more you thrash on the car the more likely something is going to break.
Not a dumb question at all! Absolutely! If you just want to run full 93 you can as well. The tune will adjust itself, hence the reason for the ethanol sensor.
I'm a lil confused with all this. Ive run Hondata s300 on all my old builds. Present day I drive a stock 20 civic Si flashed with hondata +9psi tune. All the fun features such as FTS, optimized turbo spool, increased throttle response, hondata traction control, constantly see 25 to 26psi boost, with Kcontrol at 54.7% on wawa 93 gas. Min kcontrol% as I read, if i turn on cruise control main and disable hondata traction control it spins 2nd and 3rd just full throttle with scramble mode. I just dont get all these different tunes out on the market. Theres not much to tune on these cars the ECU algorithm controls ignition timing and fuel ratios. No clutch slip at all maybe the hondata traction control or cause the tires just let loose if disabled. Just seems wierd to have to buy tunes, If ur interface provides the max potential already. Gusse I'll have to wait to meet a ktune competitor in person. Not that i beat the car its just nice to have all the power in my daily driving range. Also max MPG ive seen is 41.8mpg after 20 min highway driving
Trust me an off the shelf tune (like tsp stage 2) will give you a huge bump compared to the stock base maps that hondata and ktuner give you. (I’ve had both) 100% worth the $120 you just gotta feel it for yourself plus the dyno charts don’t lie
I’d recommend purchasing and installing both at the same time because only running 93 octane is the practically the same power levels as TSP Stage 1 so it wouldn’t do anything for you by just flashing the Stage 2 tune.
Thanks a lot forbthis video , I am new to honda , I am also in south Florida, do you know a place the you can recommend who can help me set my Ktuner and help me with some upgrades for 2020 civic si . Thanks
@@ValkenDnB wrong and wrong. Lmao some people out here pushing 380wheel stock fuel system and some people blowing motors tsp stage 1. Head gaskets/ rods are weak in l15
@@Candybuiltsi lol the only people I’ve seen blow motors on TSP stage 1 were people who weren’t keeping up with maintenance or pushing their car too hard.
