Man o Man...the VE of the 1.5L is so good you would need a much much larger turbo to take any advantage. Let alone, Needing to also address areas such as: - fueling (injectors, pumps, etc) - built internals (valves, pistons, rods) - MAF - engine mounts Honda provided the perfect delivery of...

Enlightenment: The U.S. EPA standards are not as robust as the EU. This is a causal factor that drives Global Enterprises (such as Honda) to release in the EU prior to the U..S. Profitability is an aiming point and regulations are the driving point; no pun intended. The U.S. greenhouse laws...

The paramount is not to worry about things you cannot control. Focus on what you can and leave the unimportant decisions to those who do have control in those areas.

The 11th Gen would more likely be released in Europe before the U.S. look for it probably mid ‘22. Just let the “details” be the details, we have no control over that.

No issue with the Testing outcome. It was to be expected that a larger TIP would require a larger turbo. This will definitely entice many to upgrade.

Yes. Engines will not increase in size, that has been the staple thus far. Slight increases in thermal efficiency and possibly more robust catalyst systems. Maybe a drop to a 1.4L - but as of now, the Greenhouse standard will remain unchanged through MY ‘25. There may be slight changes to the...

Question: The "Bar" alone is not beneficial without improving the suspension and/or springs or both correct?

Yeah, I couldn't see that either. A hybrid for their Si addition won't happen either - they would lose a serious customer base. It will either be the engine size or slightly increased thermal efficiency (which is already pretty stout). If I might: It may be longer than the usual MY changeover...

With the "No Change" recommendation by the EPA to the Greenhouse Gas standards for Light Duty vehicles (MY '22-'25) it would be difficult to predict the release of a different set-up than what already exists. Granted, the next Civic line will be slightly smaller in liter (perhaps a 1.4L) and be...

Not as long as a GTX2860 w/.72 A/R would @14psi. Tapered torque and higher HP with less strain on the fuel system and rods.

Sorry to hear that. I just know that knock will be more prevalent with that tune with lower octane fuel. Your mileage is really low so I wouldn’t assume carbon build up. I also understand that Canada’s ethanol content in the fuel is more than not, absent in the processing of it - this, less...

I think your Octane simply isn’t of high enough quality. Try the 93or better instead of the 91.

Well, definitely information more enriching than “how to clean a dry flow filter”. Alex@Stratifiedauto has written numerous informational How To’s & Understanding articles that explain the importance of performance parts and engine diagnostics. He created them based on customer feedback and...

Good to hear. Your LTFT is spot on

Since your DP catalyst was already identified as “defective” - it wasn’t your tune.

The Ktuner 21psi is pushing roughly a tad over 200lbft at a rather lower RPM. With a W1 having both 60% larger Compressor-Turbine wheels, the power is shifted to the right. A savvy tuner could play with a number of variables (WG, Timing, BBG, etc) to achieve a pretty strong tune; even if 250hp...

Look at how “smooth” the graph is and the fact the dash shown is not a Sport model. So, question the fact how the power curve is that smooth w/o the ability to transition at peak power? Cough cough Besides..look at the TCF on the 1st one, it is 25% above what is REAL. Typical Singapore trying...

Yes. The catch can will help absorb the “blow by” of oil coming out of the crankcase. Especially beneficial under higher boost levels. The 1.5L (by Honda) does a pretty good job with diluting the oil passage with fuel to keep that “backside” residue a bit fresher (contrary to unpopular belief).

I highly recommend that BBG be tapered (Low to High). In the LOW range of any type of transmission is where the hard stress is present. Although we have not seen a compressor map for the W1, you probably wouldn't wish to go beyond 17-18psi with a CVT and will definitely need 93Oct or higher to...
