Better than FK8 Type R? Spoon Civic FK7 demo car full specs and review 275HP & 400nm | JDM Masters

[@athfdrizzle]

Got to love this dude. so knowledgable and passionate of cars.

[@AliasHSW]

Keep Spoon feeding us!

[@jSyndeoMusic]

I bought my FK7 in early 2017, before the Type R was announced. It’s nearly paid off now, and I really don’t want to have to get a new car and deal with all that depreciation again. So seeing insane numbers like this coming from the 1.5L is so cool… gives me some hope hahaha

[@tenkayruanaya2554]

we are in same situation lol

[@craiggreen4388]

I think these are really interesting cars & will be highly relevant in the years to come as they trickle down into enthusiast ownership. I want one next but I have chosen to run & refine my CL Accord for a few more years yet, in the meantime I will be watching the various tuners develop parts for the 1.5 & admire the modified cars the scene throws up.

[@dannygarcia8341]

You guys are great car guys! Love the parts suggestions as well as the details of the parts and it's effects on the cars they are on. Very good content very cool car guys! 👍

I personally want to see about what Spoon did to that CVT FK7, cause in my country we only got CVT option for FK7. Gonna be very informative if we can see what part they sell for the CVT version one.

@joshuaivan23 Following. I own a cvt one too and I wish the same thing. Unfortunately here in Australia only type R have the manual tranny😑 And I'm starting to feed my cvt with spoon parts.

thats sad

[@mattwattron4883]

Makes me want this exact set up. I need that catalog you got for my car goals list lol

[@DipDuckFantasy]

In some ridiculous market that doesn't have Civic Type R FK8 officially imported, the cost of having the base Civic and all those parts come together is still less than half of buying a real FK8 Type R. So yeah, since the latest gen Civic doesn't differs much from the FK7, I'm really excited about the figures.

[@hoonfan04]

Love how much information you give on the vehicles. Excellent video.

[@eleow2]

Please review FK8 Spoon! awesome reviews!

Thank you for reviewing Spoon built Civic X. I believe the turbocharger is MHI TD03. Appreciate if you would review Spoon Civic X FC CVT. I own Civic X Hatchback CVT and unfortunately we don't have Civic X Hathcback with Manual Transmission. I believe many of your followers with CVT are interested with the CVT version review.

[@alexvillalobos7137]

I heard the cvt isn’t as strong but it can handle around 300 wheel

Same here sir Arnold Toelle. I have Civic x Rs 2020 hatch too sad only cvt available in our country. If you found any review pls do message me as I'm starting to feed my cvt with spoon parts bit by bit.😊thanks heaps🍻

[@sleeperdim]

@@alexvillalobos7137 the transmission can handle more than 300 whp if your tuner is experience with the platform. Torque is different story though. Most tuners keep CVT torque below 300 ft/lbs at wheels.

Can you talk about the maximum power a cvt 1.5t civic can do

[@jayman4268]

I've seen 300whp on YT and on the civicx forums

[@eslameddinghalebi1]

Something to do with the most torque it can safely push 300nm as long as torque is kept lower, you're looking at 220bhp max

[@abdullaali3735]

if the car chassis cannot handle the power, it's will lead to different overall performance, sometimes the engine will like ( hold the car tight very tight ) sometimes will feel like soft, sometimes will feel like very stiff rigid car, i believe it's depends on the engine it might gives unbelievable performance. the engine can be the main elements how the body chassis deal with it and vice versa.

the price high because spoon put all elements in building the car, engine chassis to suspension brakes etc, high quality parts in modifications price high, people can do similar horse power mods 7500$ use little different parts reduce the price also more, idea behind it very good better than putting some unnecessary mods parts to, keeping the car in safe mod zone not putting bigger turbo and decrease the engine life

[@mavi4453]

TRD also has these Yamaha dampers 😉 and the rigid colar kit is also compatible with a lot of models. I have a full set for the front and rear for my Toyota Auris NZE151

[@ちるの9]

I wonder what that thin yellow sticker on the door panel is. I see it on their test cars

[@3IS2UR]

Subaru was not the first to use those type dampening tower bars or chassis brace. It was originally developed by Toyota with Yamaha and first used on Toyota Corolla XRS and later available on TRD Japan for other models, eventually STi started using it...

[@atflores85]

Super cool but the spoon turbo i believe is the mhi turbo with a spoon badge. So you could have the same turbo for half the price if you just get it from mhi.

Amazing, that Spoon was able to extract this much power from a 1,5 L engine, anyway, is it possible to take a look at the Spoon S660 ?

L15B7 is non vtec motor bro, it uses double vtc(valve timing) on both intake and exhaust valve but both of cams are running single profile Bit of correction as Honda fans here

[@visionenippon-captbradford9344]

Honda still labels the L15B Turbo engine as a ‘VTEC TURBO’. Although it is different from the traditional B, H, K, F, C, D engines to use 2 cam profiles. Honda nomenclature of VTEC is ‘Variable Valve (and lift) Electronic Control. Like Mitsubishi Motors with their original MIVEC on the 1.6 litre 4G92 engine which also had 2 cam profiles, but later VTC / VVT cam phasing timing on the Evo 9 and Colt Ralliart. Honda uses cam phasing VTC on the intake and exhaust camshaft for the L15B Turbo engine. As a note. For their motorcycle engine. They used the name Hyper VTEC for their CB400 Super Four to switch between 2 valve and 4 valve operation. So this naming is varied for the system to change valve train operation.
