Thanks for adding your car. Phearable tunes are excellent. Consider one of their "revision" tunes. John will dial in your 1.5 tune to work even better with your installed bolt-ons. Not quite custom but a step up from the off the shelf tune. Well worth it for $99.
You can, but honestly I wouldn't do it. To be truthful, I don't recommend non-pros self tune at all. It may "feel good" with timing advanced like that but did you adjust fueling as well? There's more to it then just "cranking the dial up". Do it wrong and things break.
If you're seeing .49 knock control with your 91 octane gas on your 91 octane tune, you're golden. If you're seeing some elevated k.c. numbers --- 93 (or a gallon of E85 per tankful) will stabilize knock control and give you more consistent power. Remember, not all 91 is created equal.

What everyone else is saying. Dynos are a tool but there are a ton of environmental variables including the machine, the operator, ambient temps, humidity... on and on.
The bottom line here is that you're basically getting another 70 WHP compared to your previous setup with just a tune and...
Thanks for the update.
Just a reminder to all tuned 11th gen Type R, Si, Non-Si 1.5T and 2.0 NA owners. It's really important to add your car here so we can study 11th gen tuning.
Keep in mind that seeing an elevated number after a pull isn't unusual. It's the ECU doing it's job "protecting" your ECU. As long as kc goes down after a time that's just normal.
I'm not familiar with the quality of Chevron plus I also recommend choosing a busy station that has a lot of...
It's mostly a reflection of gas quality. But heat and load are certainly factors too. If you go up a steep hill, you'll see your kc going up a bit, for example. But mostly it's all about the gas.
Not necessary to track user adjustments because so much of it is user preference. I'm pretty well versed in this stuff so if you have any questions about what settings do or change or how they interact, I'll be happy to answer. And remember, the OTS tunes from Phearable and TSP are mostly locked...
Hopefully more and more tuned owners will find this thread and add their car.
Long term, it will really help us see not only how 11th gen people are setting up their tuned cars but how tuned reliability looks. Over at the 10th gen forum, I've been doing this for almost 3 1/2 years and have...
Appreciate the new tuned cars added. Trust me on this. If we can get all 11th gen tuned owners onboard, this thread will help the community a lot. My 10th gen version of this has been a big help at CivicX.
Guys if you're tuned, add your car to this thread. I'm pretty sure there are more than 18 tuned CivicXI owners here. ;) My similar thread at CivicX has proven to be an important one for that community.
Thanks for adding you car. Yeah, it's interesting how different the KTuner tunes feel versus the OTS tunes.
JR's (KTuner) tunes are really snappy down low and have a great midrange feel but feel like there's a dropoff up top. D-Rob's (TSP/IMW) and John's (Phearable) tunes have a different feel...

I think John uses BBG in 1st only on that tune.
Keep in mind also that there are a lot of factors that go into where your boost targets are. To know whether things are operating as intended, I'd recommend doing a datalog. If the ECU was only commanding 19 psi and you hit 19...
