[@swiftzerz928]

Don’t forget about sport mode

[@aronasu505]

I had this done on my 2018 Civic Hatchback Sport Touring with the CVT. I've driven about 5000 miles since then. It is a great upgrade. Acceleration at all speeds is much improved. I have had no problems with the car since flashing. I paid $350 at a local dealer. I drive the car hard in town and the highway and I'm getting 31 or 32 MPG per tank constantly. You can still press the "econ" button on the car to lower the ECU settings and squeeze some more MPG, but once you have this tune you won't drive the car slowly anymore. Great upgrade!

You can always flash it back to stock when you take it in but they can still see how many times the ecu has been flashed I believe. So it’s basically at the technicians discretion to say something.

I have 2020 Rs Turbo civic, I want to do this but not sure cause what if it gives bad average ? And does it affect engine or sale ?

[@davetravels9273]

Regardless of warranty, there will be more wear and tear, especially on the CVT. CVTs are well known for failing under high torque. I would not install this if I planned on keeping the car for more than 5 years, 60k miles. You are just asking for trouble. Not to mention the added stress on the turbo. Higher bills await you in the long-run.

[@davetravels9273]

They are better, but still not as good as torque converter autos or dual-clutch autos. Honda actually lowers the torque and changes the throttle mapping for CVT cars compared to manuals. They don't offer many manuals in the U.S. but in the Euro market, the manual version always has higher hp and torque, and is mapped differently to deliver that power sooner. With a CVT, they change it so that the power builds a bit more gradually. Doing this mod, seems to be doing the exact opposite of what Honda itself does. I can't imagine that this will be easy on the CVT.

[@olibrehio1711]

[@BernonCars]

Sheesh, if this boosts power this much in the regular Civic 1.5, imagine what would happen if a 2017/18 Si would be tuned 🔥

[@UnrelatedNonsense]

ThatGearHead Well the civic si will probably be squeezing a lot more out of the engine so a tune may not rt that much more out of it.

[@CSIG1001]

Beavey I agree , no data is just using the same tuning maps as Honda . The si should have just came with a detuned 2.0 l in the type r ad not the wimpy 1.5 liter. For almost 28k , just wait for the new accords with the turbo, maybe then they will use that 2.0 vtec .. if not I am going BMW and Dinan ....

I am concerned about the long term effects to the longevity and durability of the engine. That much of an increase in torque in power to the stock components seems like it would cause you problems.

As always, hondata flashpro is always the best mod for the money.

[@TruckerBill9]

The CVT is probably gonna limit the hell out of ya

[@tychay]

Cmilly it does in the stock tune (see the torque differences) but not as much in the reflash. In any case Hondata has presets for both CVT and manual transmissions (2017 offers manual turbos) so you can actually see the difference (there is one) if you check postings on the forums, their website, and youtube channel.

[@belovegodwithus]

Cmilly or fuck the cvt up all together I found manual shifting is smoother than the cpu

[@unodfredy]

Wait why would the cvt limit you? I heard the cvt might even be faster than the manual sport...

[@Walshy512]

The CVT trans can only handle a certain amount of Lbs of Torque. The transmission actually will start slipping if you add too torque. Hondata also has a video showing a CVT trans after they have abused the car using tuner, and adding air intakes. It's certainly damaged, but they beat the crap out of the car so just don't push it too hard.

[@lindadee2053]

Software in cars these days can make or break your driving pleasure. I had a 3.2L 260hp V6 once that had about 1 full second of hesitation when flooring it. A minor software update and the hesitation completely disappeared. 0-60 in 6.5 sec instead of 7.6 secs.

[@Doggythunder]

I have a flashpro with a 2016 1.5 Turbo mated to the CVT.. The CVT has its own control unit that limits the amount of boost available from the Turbo for the purpose of not burning out the CVT.... This 1.5L Turbo is anything but whimpy, but unfortunately the CVT however is.. That being said... I f'n love the feel of the car with the Flashpro and my Injen CAI. 0-60 stock for me was about 7.6 -7.8 seconds. With just the intake and the Flashpro, 6.2 - 6.3 seconds... With a good pair of summer tires, and not the stock, not so great Continental tires that came on the car from factory. I have no doubt that I could pull sub 6 second 0-60 times. Tires no doubt will be my next upgrade. Also, where I live in central California 91 octane is all you can find.. If you live in an area with 92 or 93 octane gas available I believe you will see even better results than I have had. So all in all my point is the Hondata Flashpro is an amazing upgrade. However with the CVT it is limited somewhat by the CVT control unit on what it can do. If you want to do this upgrade, and have not yet purchased your new Civic and are on the fence as to go with the automatic or the manual, go with the manual. Honda's stick shifts are a dream to drive and there is so much more potential in aftermarket gains to be realized with the stick compared to the CVT.

[@kurtt6102]

Agree...Increase of torque by almost 50% will definitely limit your CVT transmission life.

[@alexlittig7927]

Ok your wrong. IF the torque increase was 50% more it would 348 lb-ft which it obviously does not. It goes from like 174 to 215. how the hell is that 50% more. Its like 18% more

[@alfredosantaolalla]

lol 50%

[@Doggythunder]

Not sure what I said which that mathematical genius was agreeing with in the first place ... I have complete faith that the Flashpro and a e-tune performed by a reputable tuner like Vipviper. My car is not only quicker as a result... I don't know how else to put it than to say the engine just feels smoother and happier as a result. I understand most buy a civic not looking for performance. They buy a civic for its value, and it's well deserved reputation of being a safe and reliable vehicle. Those are all reasons why I bought mine. I decided I'd like to get more performance out of my civic. Based on the reasons why I initially bought the car, I did an incredible amount of due diligence and research on what I can expect positively and negatively from a Flashpro with a e-tune. I did not want to sacrifice the value and reliability of my vehicle for the sake of performance. After doing my due diligence, Based on facts, based on other OWNERS, (not some chirping forum fucktard) who have done the same to their vehicle I came to the conclusion this was a safe upgrade that by itself would not jeopardize the original factors I stated above which attracted me to this vehicle. So far, I've been beyond pleased with my investment in this upgrade. Its only been positives. Some of us just want to push the envelope a little more and those that want to spout off about it for whatever their reasons might be can choke on a dick. What they spit out from the end result of doing so will be much more valuable than anything to come out of their mouth prior. 😉

[@kurtt6102]

The video description 'gain performance adding 49 hp & adding 79 ib-ft ofTorque' 50% of 174 lb-ft is 87. In my book that is 'almost' 50%. "This 1.5L Turbo is anything but whimpy, but unfortunately the CVT however is....your own words. I assume personal insults make you feel better about your well thought out decision to move forward with the upgrade.

[@ReDiiKuLuS]

Chris Huber How does it go up?

[@chrishuber8930]

Because if your car has more power but same weight it's easier on the engine to pick up and the forces of nature are more easily worked against

[@chrishuber8930]

Pretty simple physics just like if you get low rolling resistance tires it lessens friction and reduces forces applied

[@ToXxSyN]

@hondapro Jason no homo but I love you. You're so entertaining to watch and it's nice to watch a true Honda enthusiast

[@JohnSmith-wr7lg]

How would this effect the longevity of the car?

[@nitrowad]

Simple - it will shorten it... How much? No one can answer that - it could potentially have similar longevity, or it could possibly cause an engine knock and you're donezo :) If you want to risk your money - flash it, if you don't want to risk money, but need something faster, buy something that's faster straight out of the factory, and stay away from ECU tuning...

[@Kydenius]

It's a Honda, as long as you change oil, pay for QUALITY parts, and don't rev it against a redline for extended periods on purpose like a dumbass (like all the old American Honda tuners seem to do), it will outlast you, your grandchildren and their children.

[@MegaHollywood1971]

The M/T is the only version that gains the bigger numbers. The CVT models are much smaller. HONDATA has already R&D'd the tuning and performance on the CVT models and their threshold was peeked at 250lb/ft as the steel belt slipped and scored the inner pullies. HONDATA never stated where the actual threshold really was, however I would guestimate that anywhere above 10% lb/ft of stock is just far enough (if you don't want to burn out your transmission). For $51 +shipping you can get a drop in K&N Performance Air Filter and get increased throttle response and smoother transition in acceleration. Thus, providing a false reality of increased power; rather, just getting the power sooner in the RPM band. I would not recommend adding +6psi that will not NET at least 10hp per PSI - that's just a waste - and you will just further heat soak the intercooler & radiator if you get on it vigorously. For the M/T owners it is a different story.

[@domzcollesso9070]

I'm still stock and all I did was downpipe and intake and I'm currently happy 😁, getting a boost gauge soon to see my boost levels

[@domzcollesso9070]

Also what alot of people forget about is the head bolts, if I'm gonna run a tune like this I'd want to upgrade to apr headbolts as the stock ones can stretch

@HondaPro Jason, Are those numbers right at 5:55? The civic sedan stock is 174HP/162lb-ft , but those numbers on the Hondata tuned car on the left are kinda exaggerated I assume according to the gains posted on the hondata website for the CVT +6 psi map "+25 HP and 35 lb-ft torque"... 162 + 35 = 197lb-ft right? the end results should be close to the stock specs of a Civic Si around 199hp/197lb-ft for base trims and 205hp/196lb-ft for the hatchback sport trim...

No knock on this dude, maybe one day I'll want to track my ss and might need a stage 1 download, I guess since this car is new not a big selection of custom maps for example a K&N filter option, should kill it on the si

[@wilmal4500]

Most ECU re-flash requires you to unlock the ECU by sending it to hondata or K-tuner. You will need to pull the ecu, send it to them, and buy their device. It will cost around 400-600 USD. The dealership will read the ECU for any changes on the ECU. Most of the time if you need major engine work or transmission work under warranty Honda will require a ECU read to see if any changes are made, they will void your warranty claim if they find you modified the ECU. There is no advantage, in my opinion, on a vehicle that is not going to be tracked but rather used as a daily.

[@Rawllsteez]

Even if you flash it back to normal?

[@santiromero7057]

This is pretty cool, I'm sure it'll lower mpg and put more stress on the engine, but my question is how do you uninstall the software. Like, just have the software on the car for a short bit, and then uninstall it to not hurt the engine too much

Wait till after your car has 65k miles on it which is when a lot of the Honda warranties go away. If a problem is to ever arise with you car and it has nothing to do with the Hondata software whatever, the dealership can easily say that the non oem software is to blame same thing goes with intakes. So be aware this not warranty friendly.

[@alfredosantaolalla]

Only if your ECU fails or your turbo fails, it has to be linked to the tune.

[@559kingjh]

Alfredo Santaolalla They don't have to link anything your at the mercy of the dealership/Honda when running an non oem ecu and trying to get work warrantied. Let's say your getting a squeaking noise from your wheel hub or something random that should be covered under warranty. If they see you running aftermarket an ecu they have could easily say your aftermarket accessory is the cause and your warranty is voided.

[@alfredosantaolalla]

559KING first of all its not an aftermarket ecu. Second, you can erase the tune and go back to stock when you turn it in to service and third, no, that's not how it works, research your laws first.

[@559kingjh]

Alfredo Santaolalla And what are the laws Mr. Law Man that Honda HAS to absolutely with out judgement warranty work to a car with aftermarket accessories that they may deem harmful to a cars longevity.

So, what are the downsides, gotchas and implications of updating the operating envelope? Does the car undergo additional stress or wear? Is the warranty impacted or voided by flashing the parameters?

If you're not flooring the car all the time, and only use the tune sparingly, there's really not much chance you'll damage the engine or transmission.... If you beat the crap out of it at every stop light, you'll most likely kill the car pretty quickly.

[@AccordTorneo]

EJ6 Panda no i can't even drive but its my dream car. Thx

[@thump3r]

i have a video of my hatch posted if u want to check it out.

[@AccordTorneo]

EJ6 Panda glady dude

[@lailadavids]

Is your last name Statham? Cuz you’re the Jason Statham of Honda! 👌😎

[@KastleArtwork]

is there anything that can be done to enhance the 2016 Honda Civic LX model?

[@KyndVybes]

Did you ever get an answer?

[@ellbertdinoy]

Macbook works?

[@PROdatORMpower]

@HondaPro Jason Don't you notice the odd grinding noise when warm start the 1.5t?

[@KakashiKyle9]

There is none. A purr you mean? It always does that

[@sea5023]

Does the hondata software wear down the car in the long term or does any damage to the car later on?

[@PieOnPot]

Definitely interested! Does this add wear/tear to your vehicle (e.g. car would normally last 10 years stock, but only 7 flashed)? Does it worsen mpg even if you drive it the same as you would stock?

[@kucingcalico]

6 years late but yes if u constantly push it to its limit and yes it might worsen the mpg but not significantly at all if u drive it casually

[@hihi-bx2bo]

@@kucingcalicowhat if you drive it casually but here and there stepping on it ? Got one today for my Acura integra 2023

[@ANDRIY_H]

Hondata is worth the money. Would be great for manual gear box civic. Not sure how the CVT would hold up with that much torque increase over time?! And then the warranty concern...

[@thehondasteve2292]

Got to admit that the hesitation when you're pulling out of a turn is worrying. Does the FlashPro take that away or no?

[@alansmilealot]

The Honda Steve is that the case with the manual?

[@shesnotyourbro]

@@alansmilealot I have the sport manual, it still does this. I haven't had issues turning onto roads, though. Another one to think about is the rev hang on upshifts; it was jarring after 6 years with a cable-driven throttle.

[@tedbaxter5234]

I am not convinced small displacement turbo charged engines are going to be long term reliable. You get more performance but there is no free lunch. I like to have the option to zoom up the performance but how would you like to buy this car used? thank you for the video.

[@9384763]

Will this system work with a non turbo 2019 Honda Civic Sport? Thanks!

[@TomAmeen]

This is cool! Can you do any updating like this on a 2013 Honda Civic?

[@tonyzchan]

Hi Jason, is it possible for us to flash back to stock Ecu setting ? Thanks for you videos!

[@RealKingGio]

Yes

[@GODSGUNSGLORY]

the lag is also caused by drive-by wire too.

[@huym6171]

is the process reversible?

[@jesussalinasr]

Huy B I'm pretty sure they have a back to default settings on the device... I'd assume

[@EnriqueAgos]

yes, it's 100% Reversible.

[@trumpetplyrmatt]

Huy B yes there's an option to return to stock

[@Dreadlk]

Yes but your cars black box data will show that the car was exceeding it's limits. The manufactures are not that stupid, they know people chip the vehicle and then restore the settings before carrying it back under warranty.

[@DeusAnge1us]

Before computers, engines are built for power and removing a computer to regulate that power isn't going to damage the engine for using it for its full potential but, it would reduce wear by having the right upgrades like an RC Air Intake System, upgrade the belt, and allow more air into the engine by changing ventilation upon the frame. Fast cars are fully ventilated, and the concept is airflow.

[@JCap334]

I have a 2016 Honda Civic Touring and I would never do anything like this. At first it might seem like a no brainer to add some "free" power to the vehicle, but doing this is no different than overclocking a CPU in a PC. Honda purposefully "under-powers" their motors to give them an extended lifespan. With this mod, I would foresee a premature engine failure because of accelerated wear to components.

[@nathansaidensfuntime1140]

Jason Caprio yup you got a point there but in sure it'll hang just fine. The new si will carry the same engine just tuned differently. I would worry about the cvt but not the engine it self

[@braydengirard897]

Jason Caprio hondas on their own are some of the most reliable cars out there, on top of that the civic is the most popular tuning platform. A brand new car with knock detection and brand new ECU management will have no problem handling 40 extra HP with no problems down the line. Concerns for the transmission would really only come after the 280whp range id guess and the engine itself would be even higher than that which as of right now is barely achievable with our aftermarket

[@sportagus3]

overclocking a cpu doesn't reduce the lifespan that bad. You'll be getting a new computer before you burn out the cpu assuming you know what you're doing.

[@MrJarvisful]

sportagus3 true but it those degrade the CPU regardless.

[@shabutir1820]

One thing to remember is how well Honda engines are built. They are built to be reliable under all stress. This engine can easily run 8000+ rpms all day and yet its limited far lower than that. Yes it is more stress on the engine, but not anything significant that you will notice in the long run. They are already built to handle far more stress than what the factory limits you to.

[@hedimarllentada6209]

What flashpro did you use in your video.?

[@Iegend17]

Can you show us one with the 2018 accord 2.0t plz

[@andrewwilken9725]

A guy who calls himself "HondaPro" didn't know what flashpro from hondata was? Bro it's been around for quite some time now. Other than that thanks for the video.

[@Ulieq]

We need this for 2017 crv. honda really screwed up city driving.

[@sifkhn]

Make a video on civic's aftermarket upgrades, is it possible to instal civic coupe sports' body kits on a sedan?

[@oscarespinoza8205]

someone knows if this function for the 2.0L?

[@OfficialYounginwell]

I didn't expect that much of an increase.

[@sdarryl10]

Jason, this video seems irresponsible. You don't speak about warranty, engine wear, uninstall, gas mileage, disclaimers, why Honda didn't go this route, etc. I am so sure this company had every one of these answers at their finger tips. We tune in to get quick answers and insight from HondaPro right? There are a lot of simple things that could have been included that were left to the viewer to wonder about or try to research if they cared enough... I guess you were paid but what about your viewers ?

[@vicentegalindo9895]

In it for the money..Knowing in the long run not go for your car.

[@wayner8088]

I just tuned my 1.5T Civic Sedan Touring, and just as HondaPro Jason said, the upgrade is a no-brainer. I haven't even touched the hardware and I can now actually keep up with Audi's and Beemer 3's and Golf GTI's (my arch-nemesis..lol) My question, though, has there been any reports of long term usage of custom ECU settings? Anyone report damaged engine components or transmission problems?

[@savageboialex3976]

Same car here 2018 untuned and those golf gtis rn are my arch nemesis also

[@A_guan]

This also works with the hatch right?

[@HondaProJason]

Tech Defender Yes for all the 1.5 turbos coupe, sedan and hatchback

[@drewgrows7765]

I own that car. The two questions that come to mind is will it still pass a smog check and will that void the warranty? Thanks

[@luiscoba1565]

He’s lying he just put it in sport mode 😂

[@googlewolly]

It's actually "S." Honda never refers to it as "Sport."

[@robertgraham5486]

S stands for shift mode

[@googlewolly]

@@robertgraham5486 I don't think that it's officially that either. Honda always refers to it as "S."

[@robertgraham5486]

googlewolly your right but thats what you select when you are going to use your paddle shifters and I think I saw it somewhere Honda refers to it as shift

[@googlewolly]

@@robertgraham5486 Yes, that's what you need when using the paddle shifters.

[@SwagToTheWheels]

Are there any manual models released yet

[@1188clean]

doubt it adds that much hp and torque. where's the dyno to prove those claims

[@4rson]

J Rod not sure on the actually amounts added but I just tuned my 2016 1.5 and it makes a massive difference. before this tune spinning out wasn't even a thing :P

[@ReDiiKuLuS]

J Rod Hondata's website it claims 10-25HP increase (This case 39 in the video) and "Torque increase virtually everywhere" (79 in the video) which probably means anywhere from the same HP gain to about double the HP gain for Torque.

[@gorambo]

That Arsonist how much did it cost you? How long have been driving with it? Have you done any air intake or exhaust?

[@4rson]

Goran Jevtic I've had it for two months. I'm about to upload a small 0-60 video. I have a muffler delete, and Mishimoto SRI

[@gorambo]

Great love to see it. Send me a link if it's not a problem.

[@clinteastwood666]

hondaprojason this is a very interesting video and there are plenty of questions myself and others have about this new generation civic. It would be cool if you can answer them or provide something I'm sure most of us don't want to deal with the stealership

[@iAmMidasPrime]

You're my Role Model 👌🏽

[@emersontan]

does it work to my 2017 honda crv?

[@billjohnsonseattle]

No, they don't have one for the CRV. The vast majority of CRV owners don't buy them to soup them up, so it is highly unlikely that they'll waste their time coming out with a Flashpro tune for your CRV. If you really want one, trade in your CRV and get a Civic Turbo. And for the people who have the 2.0 engine, you're wasting your time as well, as the most you could get would still be less than the stock 1.5 Turbo.

[@ELJORGE1]

That's very cool Jason
