  1. Windshield replacement-FYI

    That is interesting. Thank you for sharing that information. Usually T60 parts are for TypeR and T20 are for base models. I wonder if this is country specific, as in USA models are equipped with base model safety cameras compared to other countries?
  2. Say Goodbye to Your Favorite Sticky Tires in the PRK (People's Republic of Kalifornia)

    Just have to notify them of p65 that low rolling resistance tires exposes them to "chemicals that are known by that state of california to cause cancer.“, eventually you guys will be rolling on tires made of hemp and using coconut oil for the engine.
  3. 1.5T Exhaust tips for OEM Sport Touring Exhaust - Any product that will fit?

    The way the rear diffuser is molded, even after taking out the chrome trim, doesn't leave much room for a tip. Also the opening is an awkward shape that will require either a lot of cutting plastic or swap out for a different diffuser. I suggest you take that chrome trim off first so you get a...
  4. BPV Hardware?

    Sell it and keep the OEM BPV. The Honda diaphragm bpv is far superior than the aftermarket piston based ones. It requires zero maintenance for the lifetime of the car. The pistons aren't any faster, don't hold pressure better (unless extreme PSI, more than the engine could handle), the piston...
  5. Reroute of battery to trunk

    It does, but it's not as picky like a BMW. If there was something that the ECU notices as out of spec, it'll affect the engine idle start stop system first. If there was a drastic change, then the ABS starts complaining.
  6. Reroute of battery to trunk

    Curious did you measure the battery height compared to the spare well height? I'm curious if the trunk floor board will be able to sit flush to the floor or if the battery will prevent it from going down. Also you'll have to run a vent hose to the exterior of the car. You don't want trapped...
  7. has anyone used JB4's "Full send" map on the 11th gen civic Si?

    Burger Motorsport 🤢. The fact that they can churn out a JB4 for so many different makes and models is a big red flag. It's probably programmed with some universal tuning tricks and was never actually tested or dyno on each and every particular make and model. Sorry OP, but trash or sell the JB4...
  8. has anyone used JB4's "Full send" map on the 11th gen civic Si?

    Why did you not get a KTuner v1.2 for an affordable tune? A JB4 is a piggyback system which does not change the factory ECU programming but more like tricks it into receiving different data. JB4 works, but on very mild builds. If you are messing with fuel and high boost, you should really look...
  9. Throttle Body Inlet Pipe (a.k.a., Upper Charge Pipe) Replacement?

    Stay with the OEM throttle body. It's a turbo charged car, it gets its air by pressure not so much free flow. I did a larger tb on my car for 6months and my fuel mileage went down by 4mpg with no gain in HP. Also it was very annoying to just cruise on the road, because the slightest touch of the...
  10. Okada Projects Plasma Direct Ignition Coils?

    Yes, but keep it simple.... An ignition coil is a transformer that turns low voltage (primary windings) into high voltage (secondary windings). Current flows on primary, secondary coil is induced to charge, when triggered to ground and with enough charge it will jump the spark plug gap...
  11. Okada Projects Plasma Direct Ignition Coils?

    I swapped coils on my sport touring with coils from an Si/Integra and noticed the engine ran slightly smoother but HP and mpg stayed the same. The reason coils feel different is not because of amperage/voltage, multi spark, misfires, it's because of different dwell times and if multi-coil that...
  12. Battery vs E-brake

    Battery lasting 10-15 years!!! That would be 1 to 2 batteries for almost the life of the car! What magical voodoo shop did you go to?!? Did you walk uphill both ways to school as a kid!?! I've worked at an auto shop for 7 years and the normal life expectancy of an OEM battery is 3-4 years and...
  13. Lowering Spring Installer

    They are just lowering springs, nothing that requires super high levels of specialized equipment/training or super precise adjustments or torquing. Any shop with good reviews willing to install aftermarket parts bought by the customer will do. Wherever you go, check that they can do an alignment to.
  14. Interior Noises - Summarized

    Wow, impressive list. I had three interior rattles. Headliner, front left b pillar, and passenger side door all rattled at different RPM. They unintentionally went away after installing subframe collars. I got the PRL set, but I'm sure any brand will do the same. The rears didn't seem to do...
  15. Is a head gasket really an issue?

    Yes on 10th gen civics but did they mention also on 11th gen? Im not saying it doesn't or won't happen, it is just less common. It's strange that very few members on 11th gen civic websites have had issues but yet the stigma from the 10th gen carried over. It's also strange how almost nobody...
