Can you do a video of setting up ktuner exactly how you have it setup here? With the two step and quick access via the steering wheel?

[@jasongalante644]

How did the satin wheels look after the winter? Curious how they held up in snow and salt? I’m considering purchasing a new set for the summer and using the stock wheels during the winter months but I’m afraid to ruin the satin finish

Thanks for checking it out, I 100% recommend an 11th.. such a fun car

[@orangefirepearlfb6]

I wish honda made it Rev higher then 6500rpm....it sounds like it wants to Rev higher .... love the color.

Over the 10thgen the car definitely feels more rev happy and doesn’t have such a crash up top. Thanks man I love the colour!

I refuse to buy a Si in the states because we got screwed so bad

Did you pay cash for this Si or you financed it & did you lose your warranty that came with the car after adding the tune on it?

Canadian model is so nice. Even has a heated steering wheel…

[@MitchMc91]

Definitely one of the best features

[@SIIKAP1]

Thanks for the video. I’m interested in a speedometer shot of the car accelerating from a stop and from a roll. To try to get a better feel for the performance boost from the tune.

[@ridethespiralcc]

Question. I just purchased a 2022 Civic Si. I must admit I don’t know anything about tuning cars or the process. I’ve watched a few videos of yours and have found them to be helpful and informative. It seems like Ktuner is the way to go. Do you have any videos on installing or setting up the Ktuner? Also are there any negatives or potential costly problems that could arise from doing this? Why doesn’t Honda tune the cars like this from the jump? Forgive my questions if they seem silly just trying to learn about the process and decide if it’s something I want to do or am even capable of with my limited knowledge of the process. Thanks in advance!

[@MitchMc91]

I don’t have any myself, I could make one but there’s a few videos on here by KTuner and other KZbinrs going step by step flashing the car, it’s a fairly easy process. Clutch would be the first thing to worry about since it’s pretty weak from the factory. Honda did tune it a little more aggressive than the 10thgen SI which is rated at 205hp vs 200hp but the 11th seems to consistently make 10-15whp more stock for stock

[@Itsjustanelantra]

Love the video, I'm from New Brunswick and I'm happy with what Honda did this year to the 11th gen civic si, yes it made 5hp down from the 10th gen but they've made dyno pulls and it ended up making more then the 10th gen. Once the performance shops will start doing parts for these cars they'll be quite impressed to see

[@MitchMc91]

I cannot wait to see what the aftermarket brings, I’m coming from a gtx2860 10thgen SI so I’m hoping there’s going to be a little more headroom in this platform! I think exterior and interior they knocked it out of the park, my favourite SI since my 8thgen SI

[@Itsjustanelantra]

@@MitchMc91 There's a guy that said the new 1.5 engine had some slight difference in the bottom end from the 10th gen and the crank was heavier and counterweighted similar to the 1.5 turbo accord engine. Also the rod journal where sized up to 4mm and the bearings where larger as well

[@MitchMc91]

@@Itsjustanelantra yeah Eman documented that on his IG and probably FB as well. I’m wondering if the 2 port head is going to flow slightly better than the single exhaust port head of the 10thgen and I’m curious if there’s any updates on the HPFP and Injectors… hopefully there’s more headroom🤞🏼

[@brokentradgedy]

lucky damn Canadians! Always getting better features than the US

[@marcschubert139]

I have a 10th Gen running the Phearable 1.5R tune and you're exactly right about the crash in power. It's pulls like a beast down low but then it just feels like it falls off the higher up you go in the revs.

[@MitchMc91]

I had my 10thgen with boltons/tune before I did the PRL kit and that’s exactly how it felt, the 11thgen feels like it wants to rev and seems to pull to redline or it’s very flat where you don’t feel that crash up top

[@andrewarseneau6783]

Getting mine in April. With the stage 1 Ktuner there shouldn’t be any clutch slip right? I don’t want any pre-mature plate wear.

[@MitchMc91]

Stage 1 I believe targets 19psi which should be fine, stage 2 the 21psi map even had slight slip lugging the motor down low below 3500rpms. I was beta testing the tsp stage 1 at 23psi and it had pretty bad slip down there… the clutch is a weak point unfortunately

[@milesarchibald1114]

[@zacharydellamano7199]

Curious how the clutch holds up.

[@jpmcgillicutty]

Didn't realize the Canadian version had heated seats and steering wheel. Feeling slighted down here in the states

[@MitchMc91]

They're trying to push people into the Integra it seems to get those features

[@khicks9543]

How much power on stage 2? Do you think it's reliable?

[@MitchMc91]

It’s easily up 30-50whp throughout the midrange all the way to redline and down low there’s easily 30-50wtq gain, so far it’s fine at that level but if you’re lugging the motor and doing pulls at below 3500rpm you’re going to wear out the clutch it’s pretty weak stock unfortunately

Nice to see a vid by a fellow Caper! Great info here. I'm debating getting out of my 18 Elantra Sport and into a new Si. I was very curious about the gains from a reflash and I think you've sold me on it. Cheers!

[@MitchMc91]

I dare say we’re looking at 40-50wtq down low and about 30-40whp throughout the midrange and keeping that up top of the rev range

[@ludoweez]

As your neighbor over here in Minnesnowta, I can say we're very jealous of your heated seated :(

[@MitchMc91]

US spec 100% got robbed we have heated front and rear which is great for the kids, I don’t know what Honda was thinking.. maybe they’ll add those features on a mid cycle refresh is my guess

[@malcolmhutchinson2369]

Thank you for the video. I would like to see a comparison with acceleration numbers between stock tune and ktuner. So like 0-60 quarter mile ect.

[@MitchMc91]

I’m going to have to invest in a dragy I think, I just uploaded another video which has speedometer footage of the ktuner 21psi map vs factory tune. I appreciate the feedback!

[@chadfeather4690]

That what Im doing with my 9th gen civic SI full bolt ons I'm still debating on getting a new SI like the one you have so I may go with the new Nissan z when they come out. I'm still trying to figure it out lol

[@MitchMc91]

Going to depend on what you want exactly if you want a rwd car that can make great power with ease of course I’d wait for the Z but if you want a cheap car that gets good gas mileage, has great features and good aftermarket support you can’t go wrong with the SI

[@tristanerickcatibog7761]

Hi! Just want to ask the performance of the Si and is it safe during snowy road/ situation? I am planning to buy one too. Thanks in advance.

[@MitchMc91]

I've driven it in small amounts of snow since we have a truck as well and it seems to hold up fairly well but I'd highly recommend a good winter tire like Blizzacks if its your daily

[@NicotineRosberg]

Now u need an exhaust. Nth too ricey but just 🤌🏼

[@MitchMc91]

I couldn’t agree more, it needs to keep the stock exhaust tone just slightly louder

[@jajababy2point0]

I'm curious about the Rev hang. Did the ktuner eliminate it?

[@MitchMc91]

I believe it’s in the process, I think there’s some differences in eliminating it due to the rev match downshift features… I could be wrong. I’ll have to double check the software to see if it’s under the quick enables tab

8th gen owner here and these cars really grew on me, beautiful interior and aggressive front end! Looking forward to what you have in store with this and the potential of this generation si 👍🏼

Blazing Orange pearl or BOP for 😒 Short 🙋‍♂️ I’ll take One ☝🏿 and One question…why Not Hondata made for hondas

[@MitchMc91]

Hondata is simply the inferior product on these 10th and 11th generation civics. Derek Robinson tunes more of these than anyone else and does so using both devices. Here’s a great breakdown of both with their pros and cons from a professional perspective www.imwtuned.com/blog/what-to-choose

[@wongchai807]

Reliability thats why honda under-tuned it same with the type s. They want the fun and Reliability as always with honda.

[@Eugen-E]

Would be nice some numbers on Dragy. 0-100km/h, 100-200km/h, 1/4mile. PS: Can you program flat foot shifting with Ktuner?

[@MitchMc91]

I definitely agree it would help get a better understanding… I’ll probably have to pick one up. I have another video with speedometer shots of the factory tune vs the ktuner 21psi basemap dropping tomorrow morning

[@chadfeather4690]

I want to see Full bolt on and turbo kit for the new SI just to see what kind of power they make

[@MitchMc91]

I’d expect the fuel system to run out in the high 300whp range hopefully slightly higher than the 10th generation civic

[@sertyuhg]

If Honda sells this car with capability to hit 21 psi they will lose lots of money on burnt clutches and blown turbos

[@MitchMc91]

I don’t think the turbos will be an issue, they’re different than the 10thgens which some had issues for people running ~28psi. I haven’t seen anyone with issues on lower boost like the 21-23 maps on the 10thgen platform but we’ll see as people test the 11th. The clutch for sure is an issue on both platforms and is a must upgrade when running the more aggressive maps

[@sertyuhg]

@@MitchMc91 i have a 10gen si about 28k on the odometer. No issues so far, im not tuned but will probably get Ktuner and run it on the Tsp maps. Might have to upgrade clutch, flywheel and intercooler

[@Corny5OH]

@@sertyuhg i highly suggest phearable 1.5 over tsp, especially if you’re on the stock clutch. Tsp has more potential to damage your engine and clutch due to boost coming on so early. Phearable has a more gradual boost kick so it will be easier on the clutch and reduce chances of lugging your engine. Ive been on 1.5 on stock clutch for 17k miles now, no slip yet.
