hopefully they'll make a type s or type r prelude for the new prelude, cause that's the closest thing we have to the revival of the old civic coupe

@@TheRealityChannel7-h7r the car has a remark Sport touring exhaust. It’s got 1 resonator that’s all. There’s drone due to me being Catless

@@FL5ghost is the whole piping 3inch

@@Imesswithcars The B58 legend has made his appearance🙏🏼

@@mikane24 only bad with the windows down or if you’re in the garage.

@@joseperalta8605 This setup is loud, especially during cold starts, which are brutal. The MRT midpipe setup was mild compared to this.

@@FL5ghostthanks for the response I’ll be going the same route. I don’t like the way the k20c1 sounds but this is the only setup that sounds good

@@EricTsu hondata ITS calibration. So it wouldn’t be goofy and who knows maybe that was the cause but I highly doubt it.

i believe his mhi blew

@@d00fin yes it did.

@@BIGFRED_FL5 Both options are reliable, but I sadly blew my MHI stage 2 turbo a couple weeks ago.

@@noellinsangan720 no, I’m running the XDI HPFP. I was running 1400cc injectors but I just took them off yesterday. I also blew my MHI stage 2. I’m back on the stock turbo now.

2:15 I think he pushes it.

did you watch the video?

@@sickhcivc yes, I think its just new cars in general. they're very refined to the point that it results in much more subtle acoustics. dont think im a hater i have a 23 si the honda platform is just quite.

Stock exhaust with Catless downpipe and MRT midpipe

I'd say it's because you can barely put the stock power down with wheel slip.

Yes, the car has a custom 93 tune from Anonymous performance K20C1.

For a conservative estimate, I'd say high 300s to low 400s, considering these cars' ability to handle a lot of stress before needing to build the motor.

575nm if you keep the boost at low RPM low. Otherwise that torque would kill the rods fast. But tuning isn't the issue... The open-deck-construction lets the cylinders swing, tearing the head-gasket apart. Lowest failure (with oem ecu) was 40k km, thats 25k miles... Big Problem is, that the Motor runs smoth with worn head-gasket & even with cracked cylinders. No white smoke like Focus RS III etc. Here are the symptoms how detect the damage: 1st exhaust smell of coolant / positive RELD-Test / pressure on coolant-tank after night. 2nd small coolant consumption 3rd temporary-overheat-warning of ecu because of exhaust-bubble @ temp-sensor If u keep on driving, the cylinders crack. Even with cracked cylinders the TypeR drives fine. But if u drive on, the head will break finally. In germany a lot was tried (honda uses the shortblock from FK2R till FL5 unchanged), but an upgradet gasket & arp-studs didn't help. Usually the cylinders crack until the upgrade gasket fails too. Only a closed-deck-mod or of course sleeves will avoid swinging cylinders. The weakness of the Block isn't quite famous outside germany. Maybe because we are running quite some K20C1 in FK2R from 2015 on & they are driven longer with high loads. Who else can drive 160+mph for hours... But i heard, spain reported some FK8-gasket-failures lately.

@@gt-r9035 Will aftermarket rods from the start of the build avoid cracked cylinders? Or is the block the main problem?

@@HumberStudent didn't got the question right 1st time... The open-deck-construction is the problem, not the rods. Forged rods will prevent bending / breaking on high-torque at low RPM custom maps. Closed-deck-mod or sleeves only prevent shaking cylinders...

@@gt-r9035 Either way this is a lot of work for the novice car guy. My original question was how much can this FL5 handle with simple boltons and a custom tune without engine failure. Using pump gas or petrol for you Europeans. I enjoy cars but I love reliability.

Lag is present, but it's not as noticeable as in the RV6, and PRL turbos. The lag isn't terrible though. I daily drive my car, I’m in love with it.

SAME!

@@100GRANDNATE We outside!

More like backfires

Backfire 👍🏾 Crackle popcorn tunes 👎🏾

I bought my FL5 at Tampa Honda.

The smell is pretty bad, but I've gotten used to it. I can't roll the windows down when I'm stopped, nor can I leave them down when I pull into my garage.

Do it!

@@FL5ghost any features u find cool ?

The car has a custom tune, which includes Integra Type S burbles and backfires. The exhaust system enhances the sound due to the absence of my cats.

@@FL5ghost custom tune from a personal tuner or did hondata include the pops

@@HumberStudent It’s a calibration within hondata. I had my tuner add it within my tune.

It’s a 10k difference. Not too bad

@@SIIKAP1 true, but 10 k is 10k lmao for virtually similar performance. The type R will destroy the N on a track but when it comes to everyday driving I’m not gonna carve corners to get a Big Mac lol, plus the N has a valve exhaust stock

@@ItsYaBoyMj2x then get the N. I chose the R because to me, it looks better, it has hatchback utility, the shifter and seats feel better, and the resale value and reliability are likely to be better. If acceleration was my primary buying factor, I’d have gotten a Mustang GT for a similar price. The R has a stock valved exhaust as well, but no burble tune like the N.

@@SIIKAP1 both are very practical for everyday living, I personally don’t need a hot hatch in terms of trunk space. I agree the shifter, reliability, and resale is leagues better in the R. If the R wasn’t marked up it would be no competition here. But you can get an N for under msrp stock which is closer to the 26-7k mark, a stage 1 tune can beat the 5.0 and THAT is why I’m conflicted

(I can link those videos if you need proof) For 10k less you get a better sounding valve exhaust with the ability to turn off the burbles if you prefer the Dyson air blade sound of the R.

Let’s run it then

And you drive a Prius so go play some more Forza/GT kid

They are modding civics in 7 sec 1/4 mile....they are out running supercars...😂😂😂

You do know that Civic is just a name, right?

Should I?🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

@@FL5ghostit’s useless and just adds extra complication for nothing. Causes more issues than anything. It’s a gimmick.

​@@Reptilianoverlord-jc8mt🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Reptilianoverlord-jc8mt Doesn't even know..

Downpipe/mrt midpipe paired with the OEM exhaust.

Haven’t gotten dyno’d yet but the car should be in the 400s

The stock internals can handle my current setup, since it's torque, not horsepower, that poses issues. There are 500-600whp Type Rs running on stock internals.

I've yet to get my car on the dyno, but I anticipate it will produce in the mid-400s

Any plans for fueling?

Kind of pointless otherwise in my opinion. Stock turbo has much faster spool and better power delivery until 6-7000rpm. They both make around the same hp

@@GT3.00this is incorrect. They don’t make the same power until 6-7k rpm. The MHI will have full boost around 3800rpms and will make more power everywhere than the stock unit once it spools. You do need fueling upgrades to take advantage of this turbo though. With a stock fuel system you are limited to the boost you can run.

@@JesterTuned True. I don’t know why I wrote that. The new FL5 turbo are almost at full boost at 2250rpm after a tune. I wonder with FBO and updated fuel system what the power levels would be. As well as perhaps camshafts. Would be nice to see dyno figures on stock turbo and mHi. Interesting to note that mHi is the one that actually makes the type r turbos.

Thanks ✌️

@@FL5ghost welcome brother

Yu can’t be serious rn 😭

Both resonators in the midpipe were deleted. OEM mufflers were not touched.

@@FL5ghost man it sounds good

It wasn’t Shaking it was bouncing due to the road being bumpy. I was Holding the bottom of the steering wheel because it’s closer to the shifter.. couldn’t move my left hand cause it was holding my phone lol. My shifts are perfectly fine. Maybe you should take pointers from me👍🏼🤣

I would assume your car operates without a custom tune. I can reassure you you’re not pushing the same boost as me on a stock tune🤣

Buddy drives a V6 charger🤣🫵🏻
