Pushing a 2017 Civic Si to 360WHP! - One Take

The new Civic Si, like all new Civics, has a turbo. From Honda it comes with 205HP (or does it), a comfier, quieter interior than the outgoing one, and more torque. So how does it feel if you double the horsepower? Emmanuel from New Age Performance brought his to the canyons, so we could find out.

That guy looks like he thought Matt was going to be there.

[@Swerv3D]

FriscoBoater's Garage facts I got the same vibe

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

I am glad I am not the only one

[@TheSmokingTire]

Everyone knows when they schedule that Matt won't be there.

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

TheSmokingTire I know, but the guy just did not look like he was happy. You could just tell. Just kinda funny. Great videos... keep it up.

[@Tec-fv2xb]

FriscoBoater's Garage that’s just how the dude is. Happy or sad, it’s the same face expression lol

[@Turshin]

370 hp from 1.5 liters. Thats impressive.

[@Turshin]

Joe Black thats also astonishing.

[@HenskiB]

You want to talk about impressive? Remember BMW's M12 F1-engine? *1.5 liters, 4 cylinders, 1350hp.* THAT'S impressive!

[@DoubleCGamesStudios]

Henskiii Ehm, that was in F1, and only on qualification laps.

[@AR-rk9nn]

Not really, cram a fuck tonne of boost into any little engine and it will make big power

[@HenskiB]

Your point being? He was portaying 370hp from 1.5 liters as impressive (yes, it's very respectable for a daily driver with such a small displacement engine), when I simply pointed out that BMW made 4 times the power with the same displacement. Formula 1 or not, my point still stays valid..

[@SIgirlsRnoGood]

Guy looks pissed it’s not Matt reviewing and driving his car

[@roberto125919]

He didn't even stop to launch it once. I would have been pissed.

[@SIRICKO]

So smiling is the new looking mad now =/ Damn you'er dumb.

[@marccandrift]

He gets butthurt that his civic doesnt get the attention it deserves

[@SIRICKO]

marccandrift ass good as civics sails and as many as people mods theme I’ll says they get a good amount of attention.

[@marccandrift]

OK but I wasnt talking about them in general .. This person on IG has been whining about his Civic is far superior against ososik media's Si (was in previous one take)

Actually prefer the look of the SI to the type R.

I have to give it to you Zack, your one takes have really improved compared to the first few that we saw. Nice job man

[@revnto7k]

Damn that's impressive. Makes me reconsider getting a new SI eventually... I would think with this making 360 even a mild upgrade in HP over stock would be bulletproof reliable. (Something that matters to me) Very nice car and upgrade list... Impressed!

[@Osprey1994]

Honda's aren't bulletproof... There's a reason I see people with blown B series builds in their driveways. Among other issues, heck my Acura shit the bed on me(transmission went at 120k).

I miss my 00 civic si. It was an all motor build, but holy shit the vtec crossover was like someone starting a wicked chainsaw. That b16 thrived with aggressive cams.

[@clcampbell85]

[@sentree9857]

What cams did u use?

[@carterdavis2793]

Can't wait until more companies start making aftermarket parts for these new civics. Especially the 1.5 Si and the seemingly forgotten 2.0l VTEC Se version.

[@speedtab215]

Even nowadays the 2.0 is still extremely limited

[@cheenoulee7455]

Crazy how I didn’t think much about who eman was until I actually got a 10th gen si myself... eman himself is a legend!

[@VEDEMRACING99]

Nice SI! More of a sleeper than a type R

[@mark52111]

Impressive power. Great to see this car modded. Power to weight exceeds my long gone very old stage 2 WRX (292 awhp). This is a great sleeper car with the new type R in the picture. Hopefully the tranny holds up well compared to type R and increased power. Thanks for sharing. And good job Zack! Pay no attention to the critics. It’s just separation anxiety.

[@thatpanda1984]

How’s the torque steer on the new SI? Since the SI doesn’t have the fancy front suspension setup of the Type R, I wonder if it’s a bear to handle with 360whp?

[@mk4_trd572]

Wow I love that sound the Wastagate in the new civic SIR that’s amazing I was wrong thinking about the size engine 1.5 but the things is the system Turbo ... 😍😍 is perfect for daily driven

You are not. I like them both, but Zach definitely explains how it feels to drive the car in greater detail. Both great hosts in their own way.

I’m still waiting on this type r turbo kit to come out for the si.

That's impressive for that little 1.5 liter. K series boosted will get you 4-450~ on a turbo and 350-400 supercharged.

[@jamaicanlovrboy]

its hard to tell a civic SI from a regular civic with options now since the civic Type R came state side. The SI does not stand out like the Type R

[@diegoeleazar9154]

The R outshines em all

[@iMeltTrash]

I know truly sucks I wish the Si stood out more on the streets can’t really tell the difference between a Honda Civic sport sedan and a Si unless I get close enough to see the Si badge and the spoilers also gives it a different look but nothing to obvious that makes the car stand out

[@StickNclutch]

@ 25 seconds into the video what a beautiful view.. what location is this?..

[@Mr_Chris77]

I've been hearing that the 1.5 engine is having oil dilution issues and not just in the CRV. Are the Civics having the same issue?

Not an issue in the 2019 and onward models.

It's the Turbo from the Type R retrofitted to the Si. Not sure they're sold normally like that

I’ve had ride in the car, it pulls hard. Very close in comparison to my friends SC civic si putting over 400 to the wheels.

Jared K 11.7 isn’t 360whp to you? Because that’s what this car ran on the 1/4 mile at 117mph.

[@recovery116]

Hey I'm Jared K...

[@eb110americana]

I was thinking the same thing the entire time. Maybe Zack just wasn't pushing it that hard, as 11.7 in the quarter is heady stuff, but this looked like it never stood up and just went. On the other hand, the turbo probably has to be spooled up like mad for that to happen.

[@danmurphy1994]

Emmanuel - Honda makes a 100hp outboard motor (Only 100hp outboard in production right now) that weighs as little as the 90hp competition (including honda's very own 90hp outboard) and it is equipped with VTEC technology. Do you think you'd be able to squeeze a bunch more power from one of those? I believe it's similar (or exactly the same as) to the 1.5 liter engine found in the current generation Honda Fit. I imagine marine engines aren't your focus but you seem to be one of the top Honda engine builders for want of a better word and how different could it be? I'm also curious about the Honda Fit, think you could squeeze 200 wheel horsepower out of the engine in that state of tune? I think people underestimate the potential of that car because the civic is not a huge jump, price wise. But the Fit weighs only 2300-2400lbs or so I really think the fit would be a great candidate, but please correct me if I'm wrong

Really, there aren't aftermarket parts because the car is too new? Its been out for over 2 years. When a new Corvette comes out, aftermarket parts are available in a matter of weeks. I don't think anybody wants to make parts for the Civic.

[@khoellebasnight4428]

You're not very smart are you? The 10th gen civics are no longer using the same K series as the last three or so iterations of the civic have used. Due to this, aftermarket companies have to re learn the new 1.5t and 2.0t. The corvette has been LS based since the C5 which has been around for over 20 years. Of course new parts are always available bc the parts are almost exactly the same.

[@ianbrown3707]

Very ignorant statement lmao

Please, if someone wanted to make performance parts for a civic, it would happen. It is a basic car. It's not like it is a Ferrari.
