[@gamehopper111]

3:37 thats really confuse me which one i choose? so 19.5 psi its not stock right?

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

17psi is stock, 19.5 is the max boost you can push with the stock turbo

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

If you do the one I did, on regular drive it’s stock but in sport mode boost goes to 19.5

南瘋搶 I’m glad I was able to help you! It means a lot! I also made a video that I just uploaded last week on how to install hondahack and ktuner on the headunit

[@MugiiwaraMike]

Do you absolutely need a display or honda hack to use your tunes or can you just install and just have it on let's say Google maps or Spotify and still run tunes? Really don't want to spend the extra 200 for a head unit if I don't need it. Thanks!

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

All you need it ktuner, you absolutely don’t need a display whether it’s your headunit, phone or tablet. Having the display just allows you to see your system and keep an eye for afr, kcont, etc. all you do is upload the tune and forget about it, as long as you keep the tuner plugged into your ecu you are completely fine

@@FORSAKENGARAGE thanks bro!

[@deaundrerobinson3562]

did u lose your warranty when u installed ur down pipe?

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

No, Honda has to provide extended data showing the reason for a default was due to a modification. Your warranty will never be voided unless the dealer can prove that the reason something happened was due to whatever corresponding part that was installed. My dealership never said anything about the mods on my car and I would get my free oil changed done there every now and then.

It’ll do that without any tune just get a muffler delete

bro, if you buy the ktunner you have stage 0 ,1 and 2 and dual psi?? or you have to buy a tune???

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

When you buy ktuner, you have basemap tunes that are free and come with ktuner, I believe for the si it has a total of around 7 basemap tunes that you can upload to the ecu. When I first got ktuner I was running the dual psi tune, and then I decided to buy tsp and later on bought phearable.

[@raymond5973]

Does using KTuner void your warranty?

[@troyjollimore4100]

The short answer? Yes. The long answer? It depends. Depends on the make and dealership, and on WHAT is broken. So if you have a KTuner, and your power windows stop working, chances are they won't void that warranty claim. If you blow out a head gasket or something powertrain-related, that could be a different story... Some will put it through, others will deny any warranty claim immediately, and let you fight it out with them in court. It's always a gamble.

[@penguin5597]

Can’t you just flash back to factory?

[@troyjollimore4100]

@@penguin5597 You can, but modern ECUs will take notice of this and either count how many times they've been reloaded, or just trip a pointer that they have ever been. VW is famous for voiding their warranty coverages once they see that pointer tripped.

[@troyjollimore4100]

@@Silentdeath1194 From what I've been reading, if you have a GOOD CVT, you're fine with their standard tune. Which puts torque up around the maximum it can probably take. If you have a BAD, or borderline CVT... You'll probably experience an early failure. You could try changing it's fluid at closer intervals, but it's a gamble. If you're like me, and would only 'come onto it' infrequently, then it would probably be fine. If you go WOT stoplight to stoplight constantly? I wouldn't bet on it lasting...

@@FORSAKENGARAGE I know this old so maybe you've already discovered this by now, but for future readers, yes you can save multiple tunes with the v1.2.

[@Boxie740]

Yo hi. Do i need to install CAI first before getting a ktuner, ?

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

Ventus Hearts it depends. What kind of intake are you getting? If you’re getting prl and it’s the street version you will not need ktuner, if you decide to go with the race version (race maf) you will need ktuner

[@Boxie740]

MVRKVLG thanks for the response. But i don’t have a intake yet. Like all stock. I just did a muffler delete. Is that gonna be fine?

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

Ventus Hearts yes sir, let me run you down on things you can do without ktuner. Everything I’m about to list will be able to do without ktuner. Muffler delete or any kind of exhaust that is aftermarket, downpipe (as long as it is catted and not catless) intake (as long as it’s not a race maf), intercooler. Now I do advise you to get a catless downpipe but with that you will need a ktuner or hondata to disable your code to ensure your car doesn’t go on limp mode. Reason I say catless is due to being able to push more power, and if you decide to race from a dig and utilize 2 step it will damage your stock cat or even a catted aftermarket downpipe in the long run. On top of that, if you want something loud a catless downpipe with a muffler delete sounds good, it will have a little rasp and drone but if you switch your stock resonator for a aftermarket one it’ll even it out and sound really good and in my opinion it would sound better than most exhaust on the market that’s available for the 10th gen si. Obviously when you upgrade your turbo you will need a ktuner or hondata to run the basemap for the turbo you desire. A custom tune will also be your best option as it will make the most of the turbo, but I don’t suggest getting a custom tune until you have all the mods you have. Otherwise you’d be wasting your money because you’d have to retune it when you get other performance mods. For me my goal right now is to upgrade the turbo, go flex fuel, upgrade my intercooler, go catless downpipe and front pipe, and then go custom tune, I don’t plan on making more than 350 hp .

[@Boxie740]

MVRKVLG i just wanna get a little bit HP on my civic LX, that’s all. But bro, you are amazing! Thanks fo that!

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

Ventus Hearts no worries! Ktuner and a cold air intake would probably be the best if you’re just trying to get minimal horsepower gains. However I would advise you to get the race maf version and obviously you will need ktuner for that. Reason I say that is because the race maf will provide extra horsepower compared to a street size maf. Race maf will give you 15hp and ktuner will add another 10-20 depending on which tune you select. That way it gives you a boost in power.

[@eberzen15]

Hey bro, just wondering how come you didnt get the v2?

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

From my understanding, 1.2 and the 2 are the same, the only difference is with the v2 you can switch tunes on the go without a laptop, and comes with a screen. I didnt care for those two so instead of spending close to 600 dollars, ill take the 1.2 and save me 200+ dollars

Why does your car sound loud?

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

German The pilot R catless downpipe with a muffler delete! No point in getting an after market exhaust besides looks, I say that cause it’s proven that with these 10th gen civics, it doesn’t add horsepower. They all sound relatively the same, maybe slight difference in sound but I wouldn’t waste money on buying an after market exhaust. You’re better off customizing it yourself by picking your own tip.

[@troyjollimore4100]

@@FORSAKENGARAGE I was reading that just the other day. I think it's more that with a larger exhaust, it moves the powerband up the scale to where the smaller turbo can't really 'use' it anymore, so it doesn't make much sense to do so. Just going with a downpipe lets it breathe a little better, but keeps flow so you don't lose the lower-end torque as much.

[@FORSAKENGARAGE]

Big Bossman I agree, most aftermarket exhausts that are available for the 1.5t sounds the same with a muffler delete (IMO)
