The Tuned 11th gen Experience & Reliability Thread (for all models)

[gtman]

Tuning your 11th gen is definitely the single best power mod there is. A tune totally transforms the car. But what about long term, every day reliability? After all, tuning does add some additional stress. This thread will document just that as well as owners overall tuning experiences.

If you own a tuned 11th gen Civic help the CivicXI community and add your car to this thread (Si, Type R, Non-Si 1.5T, 2.0 NA).

Use the format below when adding your car:

Vehicle: 2022 Civic Si

Total tuned time: 7 months

Tuned miles driven: 5,200

Tuning device(s) used: KTuner V1.2

Tunes used: TSP Stage 1

Fuel used: 93 octane

Additional related mods: PRL Stage 1 intake

Problems/issues: None

Driving style: Aggressive bursts here and there

Tuning experience notes: Best bang for the buck ever.

At the end of your post you can include pics, vids, timeslips, dragy results and dyno sheets.

Thanks for adding your car.

No problem. Glad to help out?

Best Dragy time so far. No track time yet.

 

[gtman]

Nice improvement on the zero to 60. You probably shaved a full second off stock. The 1/4 trap speed looks decent too.

 

[HondaFan777]

Best Run so far. Car has big potential. Just a flash on KTuner Starter 21 Dual Tune Stage 2 and PRL Stage 1 intake.

 

[gtman]

Outstanding. That's a seriously big improvement over your first Dragy post.

Any changes in the CVT mode used for that run? Or just D and floor it? Big difference not only in 0-60 but 0-30.

Hopefully we'll be getting some more tuned 11th gen peeps adding their cars here.

This was in Sport mode and launched lightly. Weather was cooler and tires warmed up. Traction control on.

Almost forgot, AC was off this time.

Traction off was just massive wheel spin.

I have my ktuner ready to go. but I’m looking for additional mileage reports prior to using it. With my 2016, I installed after I started to see folks with 15-20k without issues.

Vehicle: 2022 Civic Touring Hatch 6 spd

Total tuned time: 2 days

Tuned miles driven: 150

Tuning device(s) used: KTuner V2

Tunes used: Dual 21

Fuel used: 91 octane

Additional related mods: PRL Stage 1 intake

Problems/issues: None so far

Driving style: Aggressive on ramps, casual highway, and spirited canyon runs.

Tuning experience notes: So far so good, definitely woke the car up more than I expected. It also still gets great MPG. Spin city in 1st and 2nd.

 

[gtman]

Thanks for adding your car.

As far as spin city down low, boost by gear can help with that.

 

[PrayingForGrip]

I'm going to go with the phearable tune and see how it does after that. Stock contis suck too but that has to wait till my gram lights come off back order ?

The Advanced VSA options can really help you stick it to the ground as well!

I'll definitely give it a try this weekend
