I think the car should've came with AWD, especially for that asking price. They're already hitting the limits of how much power you can send to the front wheels, and with that tune, it's likely to obliterate the front tires.

Those seats and guage cluster are unacceptable for that car. I'll say it.....the type R is the adult version of the two. It feels way more special (type r) compared to the acura, the interior is superior and more luxurious looking on the Type R, the acura has a scat pack like widebody on it, the hondas fenders are blended in, its crazy they try to play off the Acura as the adult version.

Can the Type S/CTR run an ethanol blend with the stock fuel system? I have the ‘22 WRX and we can also get ~320whp from a stock car tuned on 93 octane, but I got 360whp with an e60 tune on my otherwise stock car, and now I’m making 383whp/415ft-lbs with an intake and upgraded top mount intercooler. My total spent for the Accessport, etune, intake and intercooler was $1805. Just making conversation btw. Not coming here to say my car is better. I wish I could have cross-shopped a CTR but I live up in the mountains where we get lots of winter weather.

The Civic Type R can run an ethanol blend up to about e25-e30 before maxing out the stock fuel system using a Plug and play flex fuel kit that costs about $500. My Civic Type R made about 390 WHP 415WTQ on an e25 blend using a prl flex fuel kit. If you want to run higher ethanol content, there are obviously fuel system upgrades out there that allow you to run higher percentages of ethanol, but as far as I'm aware you can never run pure e85, it's always some sort of mixture.

​@@blueridge8992I came from an STI and loved that transmission, I've heard good things about the new FA24 engines. I never trusted my EJ like I trust the k20c1 in the civic, it's been pretty good for me. I've run at these power level so far for 30k miles with no issues, and I don't experience random knock like I would sometimes get in the STI with probably bad fuel. I've heard you want to keep the torque lower (below 450) in the lower rpms, other than that there are some people running some pretty impressive numbers on the stock block. 400-700 horsepower is relatively attainable. The problem with these cars is putting that power down to the ground in some conditions, especially first and second gear lol.

Tires were pretty caked in mud for a minute, could hear the mud flinging off, definitely didn’t help your traction issues coincidentally in the very start of the drive here. I would actually lengthen the overall final gearing a bit with the increase in power and the lower rev limit these new 4 cylinders have.

$2k for that tune is CRAZY! My APR Stg 1 93 on my ‘22 GTI pulls 321.2 whp and 349.7 wtq for $600. Bolt-ons and I/C nets an additional 20whp and 35wtq. E60 is about 370 whp and 410 wtq also only $600. And no fuel system upgrade required. It must be a fueling is on the K20C. But yeah. $2k is wild.

Its not $2k for the tune bud... It was 2k for everything, including Flashpro... Either way, these new cars suck(and I have an Fk8 and new Type S)... I prefer my dc5, dc2, and S2k all day... Cant stand the direct injection either. Now, if the Type S and Type are were high 30's from Factory, that would be reasonable. But these cars are still going for close to $60k in a lot of places. Not even close to worth it. You could build the most insane street/track setup in an old chassis, with a better motor(old K24/20) and add all the creature comforts if you wanted to, that would make it more modern.. And you would still be under the MSRP of these new Honda's... For comparison, I make between 500-800whp on my AWD Dc5(depending on Turbo and Fuel Im using), and I have the best of the best everything, I have adaptive Bilstein Suspension that controls dampening and ride height remotely. I have electric AC and PS. Car is fully sound deadened and reclipped, so no drone or rattling in-cabin. I have valved exhaust.. Got fully built k20/24 motor and fully built PPG transmission... And I am only around 40k into the car..

⁠@@JonHop1My APR tune has been going strong since April 23. I've logged 22,300 miles on my '22 GTI. Puts down 320whp / 350wtq on a torque limited off the shelf tune. 368whp/ 408wtq on a stage 2 E85 tune with no need to upgrade the fuel system and the ability to run flex fuel out the box. Thats value to me. And reliability because none of the factory safeguards are removed. I don't have to pay $2k-$3k for any of that. And all on the stock Garrett. The R's on the stock Continental turbo's are putting down 370awhp/332awtq on an ots Stg 1 93 low tq file and 422awhp/412awtq on a Stg 2 E85 ots tune.

Hondata should be the first power upgrade. I have a Type R instead of the Type S but they are really similar. If 1st gear is too much you can very easily just copy over the torque target tables from comfort or copy the tables into excel and with some basic math blend between them by a desired percentage. For example on my car I kept comfort stock and put sport halfway between stock and +R.

There are no amount of videos that can convince people that the idea of paying an additional $2000 to overwhelm the front wheels with more understeer, more wheel hop, and more unusable power is a good use of $2000. Keep the engine power stock and drive the car for what it’s meant for, which is to experience high levels of grip and balance in a FWD vehicle. FWD drivetrains have serious performance limitations that some of you are paying more money to magnify. Adding more power will counteract what Honda/Acura engineers set out to accomplish in the first place. Appreciate the engineering marvel and accept the reality that “you’re not that guy pal” 😂

Question for all the tuning/ modding Civic/Integra guys in comments - knowing that +100 F/40 C track days are quickly sneaking up on us, what are the best ways to manage heat soak, without voiding the warranty?! It's not really a viable option if you have to void that pristine warranty just to get more than 2 laps on a summer's day in my new Integra. Also, many owners in the forums are reporting that with bolt on air intake/ fuel mods, the stock turbo is basically maxed out with a reasonable tune (I'm not looking to swap out to a larger turbo/ void warranty YET).

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Even stock you can roach the tires on this thing and throwing more power at the already overworked front tires only exposes the biggest weakness of a FWD platform. Paying $2k for @30 HP also doesn't seem like a bargain to me either. Nevertheless, I own a 24 FL5 that I paid under MSRP for and it is a blast to drive. I do not think the Type S is worth the premium they are asking for it but if you want a softer suspension-tacked on rear plastic fenders , heated seats and a better exhaust note go for it.

I think the car experiences less horsepower gains from a re-map because the Integra Type S is tuned to make slightly more horsepower than the Civic Type R from the factory.

Best to have the car pro tuned if you're not running the Hondata basemaps imo.

@@Marbind I think in general it's not worth it to just have the car tuned without at least a few bolt ons, so I agree that it was a waste of money. The Hondata basemaps are intended to be the reliable yet slightly upgraded versions of the stock maps. Phearable and other OTS tunes aren't worth it because they're inherently less reliable than the Hondata map. If you're going to spend $30,000+ on a car, it makes sense to have the car tuned properly rather than running an overly aggressive OTS tune that wasn't designed for all driving conditions.

That upgrade price to performance is atrocious to the point that I don't understand why someone would even buy this car to do such an expensive, tedious, and mediocre flash. It just screams more money than sense to me and Hondata is taking advantage of that. VW MQB platform $600-$700 ECU flash that you can do at a local shop nets you ~80 HP, ~90 ft-lb. Less than $1k for an AccessPort or similar device + the tune to do it at home.

Hondata isn't worth it because Ktuner and phearable stage 2 off the shelf tune gives you way more power for only like 750$. Yeah....let that sink in.

it's absurd that 1800 only gets you 30 hp gain. A b58 with a downpipe ($400) with a OTS tune ($500) can easily gain 50-60 horses and 70-80 lb ft of torque.
