I know many of you here come from owning a 10th gen Civic and are likely aware of the original tuning experience and reliability thread at the CivicX forum. We have nearly 1,500 tuned owners participating there.
Here, we only have 69. And while I know fewer 11th gen Civics are tuned, 69 tuned...
Thank for adding your car.
Just a reminder to all tuned 11th gen owners. This thread is ongoing and you should be a part of this long term reliability study.
If your car's already in the thread, add new update posts from time to time so I can keep the first post stats updated and accurate.
Tuning only really affects fuel economy when you get into boost. If you're just cruising along as a daily driver and easy on the throttle it's close to stock mpg-wise.

Always funny how everyone says how great the stock tune is --- until they tune. Then they realize how lame the factory tune actually is. lol
I drive a tuned 10th gen but we share the same engine so my experience should be similar to the 11th's. John Vega's (Phearable) tunes tend to be smoother. I liked the TSP 1 but when I switched to the Phearable 1.5 and then the 1.5R, I was impressed with how dialed in the tunes were, top to...
I know you meant 1.5T. My understanding is that the Swindon built 10th gen hatchbacks using slightly weaker rods was a supply chain thing. Now that the plant is closed I have to assume all North American built 11th gens use the better rods.
Not really.
Most 1.5T owners and tune pros prefer KTuner. But it's mostly personal preference. For the money I personally think the touchscreen KTuner V2 is the best all around device.
I've also owned a Hondata Flashpro.
Thanks. Not much to maintain or track as 99% of tuned owners here aren't participating. Lol
I also run a similarly "un-busy" tuning thread on the Integra Forums.

Thanks for adding your car. Agreed. So many people think a tune is nothing but added power. And while it of course does that, it also improves the driveability of the factory tune in other ways.
Guys, don't forget to add your tuned Type R's to our tuning reliability thread.

Most 10th gen Type R owners wind up tuning with Hondata. It just seems like Type R's are a big priority for Hondata more so than KTuner.
Matter of fact (I could be wrong) I don't know if KTuner even currently supports the 11th gen Type R.
