Doing Pulls in my Honda Civic Si E30 Flex Fuel Tune!!!

[@timcote8281]

I'm amazed by the durability of my 2021 black metalic Honda Civic EX hatchback 1.5 Turbo automatic CVT. I have 260,000 miles and I bought it 2 years ago. I also don't drive it too hard, but I blew the Turbo recently. I have not been able to get to my oil changes every month, but have found 10,000 miles is too long of a wait. I have the r-type wing and headlights, so everyone wants to race. My goal is to get over 700k miles without any problems. Wish me luck 🙏

[@xelawash]

Your white Si coupe will be very valuable in a few years because there wont be any new ones available anymore. Yours is definitely one of the coolest I’ve seen 👊

[@farzulali7021]

yes, go with Derek Robinson my civic is really great with his custom tune and here in Trinidad our fuel is not the best but I'm really happy with the service and he worked with me as I could do the logs on a weekly basis other tuners were saying one day so really great service from Innovative Motor Works (DROB) for the WIN! Anyways great video as usual BRO!

[@mikemillan7088]

Your the man Tony ! I have a 2020 fc1 Fbo BB Turbo with custom tune Drob absolutely love it no issues at all you should do big turbo with custom tune it will make you keep the si over the fk8 .

[@d0mochi]

Nah, you’re the man Mike.

[@OGAwsomSauce]

The stock turbo has mad torque because its so small. You lost to the evo because the turbo has no top end breathing power. The head studs bend and that’s why the head gaskets pop between the cylinders. Your transmission will go south once your putting 300 hp to the wheels. If its 17 -18 you’ll lose 3rd gear, the next batches 19-21 you lose 4th

[@kylegentles2270]

300 hp too match for transmission with proper maintenance and good driving ?

[@OGAwsomSauce]

@@kylegentles2270 Yeah I have my car maintained by Both Eman and Ososik shops. My transmission let go with no warning. No sounds of any problems like gear grinding, no synchro issues etc. getting on the freeway: 1st gear shift, 2nd gear shift, 3rd gear accelerated then gone. No gear, dash lights up with no speed and all components failure cycling. I was pushing 28psi at the time.

[@markrutkowski267]

@@OGAwsomSauce That reminds me of my 1st gen Eclipse days. Transmission issues galore. Had swaps down to a little over an hour and a half after the 4th one. Lol

[@tylerFC1]

That’s not true at all. 300hp is A. Not the limit for the stock transmission and B. Way too many factors play into how long any given part lasts. There is no end all be all mileage for how long a certain part will last. Treat your car like shit and it would shit on you 10 times harder. Simple maintenance/good driving goes a long way.

[@OGAwsomSauce]

@@tylerFC1 my cars been maintained by the best in the Honda scene. My engine never blew up and has over 110k miles on it. Everyone that I’ve talked that had their transmission lose gears are pushing over 300 Hp to the wheels. I’ve seen and had my own stock turbo making 310lb ft over torque for over 40k miles and not one issue with the trans. But it was only 266 hp at the wheels. Once I was hitting 300 hp and 300 tq at the wheels. The gear goes. I can’t explain why it happens but it’s a common theme. Go big turbo, get ready for the transmission gears to go.

[@CoDandHaloGuy]

I’m new to this channel but I love your content man. Great job!

[@bobbyjones2112]

I didn’t know jack shit about what you’re talking about but you made it interesting and fun so I enjoyed it. I have a 2022 sport touring hatch and so far I love it but it’s not fast…lol

[@fabriziozdeslav]

Can you do a video on rev matching?

[@roger3958]

You have an awesome si coupe. They obviously don’t make them anymore. So…Screw the R ~ keep your coupe!!!

[@IntegraTypeS]

Love you're SI bro

[@carlosmennea4495]

Have you upgraded the RMM or added a RMM insert to your stock RMM? That would help you with putting down the power better.

[@Walshy512]

Tony, thanks for this video. I have the 2.5 phearable tune and also daily it in map 3. My worries right now is the transmission and headstuds. what do you think of the PPG gear set? i really want that so badly. my second gear is abused!!!!

[@TdaKid]

PPG Gears are a beast of an upgrade I’d probably do headstuds if you’re going to keep building the car and baby the transmission until you have the PPG gears ready

[@brianvasquez9123]

Oh so you're having that chirping issue too. I thought my shit was going out lol. Only happens when I turn off the car tho

[@JorgeCabrera-zh7yr]

And I drove it like I stole it EVERY SINGLE TIME!

[@sigma0987]

get that Dardan Tune babyy!

[@fabianmendoza61]

New mic sounds really good! Also thanks for sharing your experience, I am going to go E30 as well after I get the headstuds done

[@Kjohn060]

You need a tire rotation or new tires

[@mkbadlands5346]

Your Si is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@heladionunez1735]

Damm bro , i thought you would’ve smoked that Evo.. I got the same tune on a sedan (fc1) and I feel like my shit is pretty quick , you should race a stock type r and see what it does , I smoke stock type r like nothing , I’m pretty much fbo just no turbo Inlet pipe and stock charge pipes

[@walahmelons5504]

The Type R makes more power stock than the 10th gen with fbo and e...

[@XeroFailGames]

​@walahmelons5504 a stock type r and his si might be even

[@cj9318]

i just watched ur fl5 markup video…….. i’d definitely take this si over a 75k fl5 any day

[@Furby1984]

The flex fuel is going to melt your fuel pump assembly. I suggest you get a updated fuel pump.

[@XeroFailGames]

What proof do you have of this? Since the lines are flex fuel grade....

[@thegaminghub6380]

Get that RV6 drop in turbo will put you right around 300 or so

[@TdaKid]

I’ll make a decision on the route of the car soon

[@vermontvermont9292]

I know this video is like a year old, but holy shyt $6.00 for 91? Tell me thats gone down since then. 93 here is under $4.00 and thats crazy for vt. We also have 91 non ethanol everywhere, and regular 91. Only thing is we dont have E85 😔. From what i hear theres one tuner shop that has E in 55 gallon drums.

[@Fc1Drew]

Hey brotha I am running tsp stage 2 on e40 and if u fill up from when your gas light turns on put 4 gal of e85 and the rest with 91 for your e40, I broke the trans already at 43k miles and I recommend to not brake boosting. Do you experience like a jolt when u let off the gas and get back on it ?

[@TdaKid]

Yea I do, only with rev hang disabled tho And not all the time. It’s weird to explain lol

[@jojojeep1]

California is off the hook I live on Long Island and I’m paying 360 gallon

[@jsejaramill8794]

What ur MPG’s

[@rolandoserrano7379]

question, do you need a tune and the flex fuel kit or just the flex fuel kit to run a mix of e85

[@TdaKid]

You need a tune to run a blend

[@JoshBeSpoolin]

As soon as i went on e85 my clutch started slipping something crazy Asf lol

[@4door4banger]

How does the flex fuel kit work ? People tell me it thins out the fuel lines ?!

[@josedelgado4186]

True, also it can damage the stock fuel pump with time.

[@XeroFailGames]

​@josedelgado4186 that's incorrect. The lines are flex fuel compliant and you aren't running enough flex fuel to damage anything besides this motor gets no benefit from full e85...that's why he runs e30..e37 is the absolute limit of what you will get performance from

[@Pharaoh_The_Great]

Sell it… go for an fk8 or Evo X. Maybe go back to an 8th gen later on… change is always good for growth.

[@Bbc418]

FK8 is garbage, only one worth getting is the new Type R!!
