How to Mod a Honda Civic SI in 2025

[@MartiniWorksOfficial]

Thoughts on the 11th Gen Si? If you're looking to mod your car, do it here! martiniworks.com/

[@InDefenseoftheGenre1022]

Man, points are on point about having a kid and knowing what a 401k is lol

[@ShaiyanHossain]

its a fine commuter car but thats it. if you want to do real power the you NEED to address the clutch+headgasket rear sway bar should be your first mod- makes the car more lively (as should be for any other fwd) acuity shfiter cable bushings+mtf change also do wonders tbh beyond the swaybar and some shifter mods and a tune to tune out the rev hang i would not invest much more money into an FE1 the car is kinda expensive and id much rather save up for a CPO DE5 Type S or FL5 Type R (which can be had at MSRP if you look)

[@edays4207]

Need an 8th gen si vid from you bro, outdated but need the goat to cook something up

[@Shankmeyster]

I've got mostly PRL parts on my 23 Si. Also did the first 25 Si full digital cluster swap in the world. Still need a bunch of stuff. Doing ARP head studs this weekend and clutch diaphragm delete as well. Custom tune and all my parts are currently pushing 223 hp and 262 ft/lb on stock turbo. They just released Saenz con rods for the L15CA as well. The Remark twin loop is one of the best exhausts for the 11th.

[@gustavogalicia9556]

I been waiting a long time for this video 😅

[@belovedLion80]

Me too

[@Stuckinthepast_]

My 24 si is pretty much stock as of right now it has , full tint , all weather floor mats , prl stage 1 intake and prl res delete , oem mud guards , rgb floor sill lights , rs style side skirts and rs front lip and I smoked out the rear bumper reflectors I love this car hopefully lowering springs and tuner soon

[@jacobshillingburg1372]

Definitely need to mention acuity stage shift kits! Absolute game changer

[@avryyy0311]

YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!

[@Phukaloop]

Can you do a video on the 7th gen Si?

[@MartiniWorksOfficial]

We might just have to!

[@kazanali5396]

First! P.S. Alex I saw you a FD Last year but didn't get to say "Hi" as you were in the middle of a filming the guy with the blue Datsun... So Hi 👋

[@MartiniWorksOfficial]

HELLO!

[@singh-6247]

I totaled mine, very happy about that.

[@alexcuevas7266]

Please do Z3/Z4 video next !!!

[@carnut5562]

10th Gen Si. Enkei T6R 18x8.5, +38 with Continental DWS06, Eibach lowering springs = Chaching, Money, Mula! Well you get the point.

[@SoopSah420]

i love my DE4 6sp Integra so much. Great video with lots of humor! Sub'd!

[@FLIMHANIF]

Can you do a 11th gen type r 😅

[@benitoloco899]

He did in another video, bud.

[@BuckingBuffBuck]

You can completely get rid of rev hang in the FE1 by disabling auto rev matching, also you now can heel toe which is fun

[@ShaiyanHossain]

@@BuckingBuffBuck disabling auto rev match does NOT solve rev hang

[@BuckingBuffBuck]

@@ShaiyanHossain In my si it in fact does

[@ShaiyanHossain]

@@BuckingBuffBuck thats interesting because i had the DE4 Integra A spec, which is the same car mechanically, and turning off auto rev match did nothing for rev hang

[@BuckingBuffBuck]

@@ShaiyanHossain that's weird I would expect it to do the same, I'm sure there are differences but the engine management is not one that I would expect to be different.

[@ExorcistRecords]

Please do - How To Modify an Abarth 500. I know they don't make them here in the US anymore, but it's a fun little machine. : )

[@mateocortes1]

do mk8 gti next please 🙏🏻

[@Kuro.X]

Fun fact: the Si doesnt have tpms sensors. So nothing to buy for it. Just get wheel and tires and perform tpms calibration on your infotainment screen to prevent the low tire light from comin on.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

@@Kuro.X maybe canadian models do? My de4 integra (same car underneath) had them

[@Kuro.X]

@ShaiyanHossain intresting. I do know in the US, on the acura side, they still have sensors on their vehicles but honda got rid of the sensors on the civics (except typeR) crv, accords and hrv. Only the big vehicles still have sensors

[@ShaiyanHossain]

@@Kuro.X i have a type R now, and nope, no in wheel tpms on it either. still the other kind of sensor. funnily enough, the Integra Type R has the in wheel tpms sensors too

[@brianabongan2207]

YOU DON'T MESS IT UP A-ARON!

[@ishe_kun]

Dang what are those side skirts on 7:29? Theyre tough. Anyone know?

[@lynnmckenney1987]

Mk7 fiesta st next?

[@alexrios1737]

Torque is what hurts the stock rods.

[@MTNorville]

Can you do another video on VA WRXs now that Cobbs CAN Flew Fuel kit has been around for bit?

[@lemonboi8989]

Can I use this for a acura integra since there practically the same?

[@sazlefraz]

*cough* do x157 gla 250 next lol

[@Naguaxity]

Do a 5th Gen Acura Integra A spec next!

[@user1989fopfrs7]

Honda the recall king

[@nohesiii]

2:01 LMAOOOO FR

[@Beatcheeks]

It was between this and a 2021 wrx wish they just made some more power

[@cyclistman6358]

Perhaps the best mod for the SI is to just buy a GTI

[@NCLme]

😅😅😅 blown and now considering k20/24 Swap 😄😏

[@wingopimp353]

Bunch of wrong info in this video.

[@Jose-in4ql]

My exact thoughts.

[@ItsDefinitelyDanny]

I’m actually curious, what’s do they misinform on?

[@ThatDrummerKidd]

Yea I agree. And when he recommended tire sensors I instantly knew a lot of this information was just googled.

[@HaLfDeaDCaLi]

Thanks for elaborating

[@ThatDrummerKidd]

@@HaLfDeaDCaLi for starters he mentioned rev hang. Yes this is an issue but it’s honestly not anything crazy like he exaggerated. It can be eliminated with Ktuner which if you ask any Si owner is what you should use to tune the car. Hondata is better for the Type R. With that being said the cheap Ktuner is $450 and the expensive one is $650 that’s significantly cheaper than the Hondata. The mods is the next thing. There are plenty of other brands that should’ve been recommended(PRL 27Won PLM Injen etc.) that are far better than the K&N CAI. A Tune, PRL cobra intake intercooler and exhaust can easily boost you to around 250hp. With more hp comes the actual weak point of the car which is the clutch and that was never mentioned. These cars are great stock but add more power and the clutches can’t handle it. There is also a possibility of headbolt stretching because the headbolt’s suck on the 10th and 11th gen civics. This is another thing that should’ve been mentioned because if the head stretches you blow the head gasket. Upgrading your head bolts early on can prevent this. And finally the wheels sizes he mentioned are ok but most owners run 18x9.5 with 255/35. And before it’s asked yes I do own an Si I’ve had it for 3 years now.

Day 57 How to modify a Kei Truck 🚚

[@AustinWolfe-t1m]

Please do Elantra N next!

[@unforeseen9267]

No. Just no.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

better bang for ur buck than an Si

[@unforeseen9267]

@ShaiyanHossain Barring its hideous design and lackluster aftermarket support. Sure, best bang for your buck if you know nothing about cars and refuse to buy used.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

@@unforeseen9267 its hideous to me too but the performance out of the box is a lot faster than si unless you spend money, void warranties, and potentially blow up clutch/headgasket on an Si just to keep up with a stock N. Not everyone wants to extract big hp from their car...

[@unforeseen9267]

@ShaiyanHossain Agreed. They need to make an AWD version of the N and dial back that car's hideous exterior. Then they'll be more viable.

[@jackkunasaki5044]

Genesis coupe?

[@Coff1nF1LL3r]

There is no tpms sensors on the 11th gen Si

[@1LikeCake]

LMAO rock crab afking.... Someone buy this guy a GF

[@throttleproneandoregongrow5703]

Please do a “So you want a ford flex” they are sleepers!

[@belovedLion80]

I just started modifying mine last week, ya dig

[@ivanavina5192]

Im sorry but this gen doesnt have vtec

[@Carlos.Rivera]

The hands gestures looks like Trump😂

[@jared58974]

"modify one of the best cars ever built, that of course is the 11th gen civic Si" yeah... IMMEDIATE DISLIKE. Please keep telling people to modify the L15 so it can blow up with basic bolt ons and a tune.

[@TheIndulgers]

Why would someone modify an si? Maybe save that money that would go into mods, and just buy a type r or something else that is substantially better.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

cuz they're broke lol

[@Petro_Gooners]

Type R is a lot more expensive...plus finding one for MSRP is almost impossible...at least here in Canada it seems LOL

[@TrancientEvo]

I’d modify one. I don’t see the comparison between the Si and Type R in regards to a daily

[@TannerMAN101]

😂
