Eh, sounds like an FK8 with a light tune.

Maybe I'm just pessimistic, but I don't think that they're going to fix the overheating issues at all. They made a token attempt with the slightly revised grill in the 20's, which did absolutely nothing to prevent overheating. I'm anticipating a facelift version of the current R with a slightly...

I'd go with the Golf R versus "upgrading" to the 11th Gen R, as it stands now. I mentioned it in another thread, but the new Golf R is a huge improvement over the last gen. By contrast, the new Type R is shaping up to be almost identical to the current one. And even if more power is in the...

For sure. I'm just not sure what else they can do. If they want to stay competitive with their immediate competitors (new STI, new Golf R, new 400Z), they're going to have to add at least 30 hp over the current Type R. But even stock FK8's can spin their wheels if the driver steps down too...

Speaking as someone with a fully modded, tuned Type R: the current platform can't be pushed too much farther while still maintaining the reliability and stability that Honda is targeting. Using anything short of Cup 2's, I can spin my tires in 2nd through 4th, and I've most certainly introduced...

Granted. Maybe a better example would be the Mk 7 Golf R and the Mk8. The Mk8 is a significant improvement in both engine and power train capability, as befitting a completely new model. So far, the only known changes to the 11th are in the interior styling, which is a bit weak for a completely...

I'm sure the 11th gen R will be mechanically just as capable as the 10th. I think that those of us that have enjoyed 10th gens for the past 5 years were just hoping that the next generation would be superior. Like how the 991 GT3 was an amazing car, but now the 992 GT3 has a completely new...

It sounds more and more like the 11th gen Type R will be mechanically identical to the 10th Type R (just like the base 11th gen is mechanically identical to the base 10th gen). I think that's particularly disappointing because the 9th gen Type R also had the same power train.

What did you guys use to replace this stud on the charge pipe? My kit only came with two little screws for the mounting bracket that goes on the other little metal elbow

I just ordered one of these. When I told my local Type R group, they all told me not to install it until I'm ready for a fully custom tune. They said that if I do try to run it on the factory tune, I'll get an Overboost code. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

I would agree - I think that the stock tune was kept artificially lethargic in order to trick you into feeling like the car pulls harder as you enter the upper part of the rev range. Once you unlock the true low end power with KTuner, it becomes apparent that the power peaks rather early and...

You can flash back to stock using Tunerview Lite and remove the KTuner for service.

I had the same experience when I flashed back to stock from TSP Stage 1 for a full month prior to trading in for the R. It was almost unbearable, with the sluggish part throttle response and that awful rev hang. It did the trick though - I wanted to appreciate the stock for stock difference...

I would agree with this. 4K and above really pulls hard - I wonder if a custom 93 octane tune could safely combine the easy low end power of a maxed basemap with the mid-high end power of the TSP Stage 1? Or maybe putting that much power on the low end is too unsafe on the stock internals, and...

There's no way to know what the quick adjustments are on the maps being compared (other than Turbo Responsiveness, which is explicitly stated). Boost dampening is enabled by default on the TSP Stage 1 as a way to make things much safer on the rods (you can't see this option, but I was able to...

Yeah, even on map 3, the low end is way more dampened than the 21 psi basemap with everything maxed out.

Got this update from customer service a couple weeks ago: "We are currently working on packaging up clamps, silicone, hardware bags and whatnot as we speak. All components aside from coolant lines and downpipe castings are here in our location getting ready for packaging. With that being said...

Looking forward to member reviews!

Do you possibly have any user testimonials that you could share from those who have bought the aluminum flywheel option? Would love to get multiple perspectives on how noticeable the transmission noise is.

GTX2867 Gen 2. Looking at the power curve that he posted, it honestly resembles a turbo 8th gen, but without the 8K RPM red line. Very low power on the low end (<100 hp by 3000 RPM), climbing to decent power in the mid-range, and crazy power on the high end. He also raised his redline to...
