Many of the people making comments here apparently have no idea what this car is all about. It’s about handling, not straight line drag speed. One guy sad it handles like crap, is over weight, and is a pig in the corners. He obviously has not been in the car or watched any vids about the car. It weighs 200-300 lbs. less than the other cars in it’s class and handles like a go-kart. It’s the fastest FWD car in the world. That’s on the Nurburgring, the ultimate test of a cars overall performance and handling on a road course. It’s also faster than many rear and AWD cars on the Ring. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nordschleife_lap_times. It beats the Focus RS by 23 Seconds on the Ring!!! The Focus smokes the Type R in quarter mile. It beats some of the 7-10 year older Super Cars. (i.e, 2010 Nissan GT-R, 2009 Audi R8, 2010 Mercedes SLS AMG, 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo) and the Camaro SS by 36 Seconds (2010) and Mustang GT Performance Pack (2015) by 23 Seconds, and it’s a daily driver 2-Liter SEDAN! So have fun in all of those cars in your perfect little straight line. I’ll watch you pull away and then smoke you in the turns. I raced a Mustang GT into a high speed corner and looked up in my mirror as we entered the corner to see it all sideways and piss dripping from the undercarriage on the driver’s side. Ok, I can’t confirm it was piss but I’m pretty sure it was. It costs $5K less than it’s direct competition and is a better quality car. I paid $35K for mine. All the competition is over $40K. Watch some of the vids and see how flat it corners versus other cars, many which cost $50K MORE than the Type R. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJPLlZisbdumbcU It rides much better than anything in it’s class. I’m sure someone will say that it’s ride is not as good as their Cadillac. I don't hate on any particular cars, but Apples to Apples and Oranges to Oranges guys. A phenomenal car at a great price.

Too much horsepower loss It's about 20% loss of power which is unusual because it's front wheel drive car which means you don't have propler shaft loss and in addition it's manual transmission which is more efficient than torque convertor automatic transmission! There are three possible scenarios: 1-Honda lied about it's real power:it should be 285 HP instead of 306 HP 2-Mechanical components are rubbish that cannot transfer engine power to the wheels 3-Engine is getting heat-soaked immediately after first full throttle which leads to loss of power!

[@MXWZJZ]

lots of other baseline stock fk8 ctr dynos are more proper numbers. dynopack dyno are pretty much 290whp ish, and dynojets are all around 255whp ish. I would say stock 306hp is not a lie. Fk8 does have the overheat problem, by as far as I know, it at least takes 3 dyno runs for heat soak to apper, condition: temp below 25℃

[@tspectuning]

arvin ghanadzadeh it depends on Dyno 1. Honda did not lie about power dyno results from various tuners prove that 2. Mechanical components are revolutionary and extraordinarily engineered sure some power is lost to wheels but it’s not as drastic as you think 3. Engine temp is fine it takes a while of hard driving to get heat soak and they wouldn’t tune the car with anything above 220° F

[@JCTiggs1]

In the early 90's I had an Mitsubishi Eclipse AWD, it was a 2.0L Turbo with 200 hp stock, and easily made 300 hp after some very basic mods and boost increase. Loved that car and had some awesome experiences with it over the years. Flash forward to today and we're still using 2.0L Turbo four bangers 😏

I got to do a pull with a tuned type R. I’m in a 500hp S4 and I have to say I was seriously impressed with how quick the type R is. I can tell you it will do at least 160mph.

[@b00stedrust]

boost pressure and volume of air.. are two very different things.. for instance. 10psi on a gt35r is a larger volume of air than this baby turbo at around double the boost... something 90% of people don't understand when it comes to turbos and power.... I remember back in the day i had a large'ish (for the time 2008) turbo on my integra... made ~400whp @ ~14psi....but everyone at the meets were like "HOW INTEGRA PULL EVO WHEN EVO AT 30PSI AND TEG AT 14? EVO SUCK...." smh.

[@jak3est]

this is true. these tiny turbos just get more unstable/reliable the higher the boost pressure. hence why larger turbos = less boost more reliability/engine safety for same amount of gains usually with more lag. you can only blow a pinwheel so fast with the same size breath of air until your head explodes or pass out..get a bigger deeper breath and the pinwheel can go even faster with eventually less breaths and no deaths.. same concept

[@jamesborek8125]

Fk8 horsepower/tq output is determined by 1. AIT and 2. EGR . That's it. If you are in 60' ambient temps and your intake temp stays under 40c, you'll see 280-290 on a Dyno jet, stock. If you are in the south, with 85+ ambient temps, your AIT will read over 40c, closer to the 51c table, and you'll make 270's all stock. You can make all the power requests and torque requests you want to the maps, but the ECU will pull boost and timing based on those 2 factors alone every second the car is running. Moral of the story: don't expect high numbers on a Dyno jet if it's 75+ degrees out, and buy an intercooler alongside your Ktuner platform.👍

Exactly. He's selling this like only a tune was done. Probably has full boltons.

[@MrHeHim]

PSI is manifold back pressure, new cars have stricter emissions that make the exhaust back up more. Wish they would give CFM numbers rather than PSI or at least both if they want to talk about PSI. For example, a 88 Turbo Supra i had was at ~16psi, then i opened up the exhaust and the PSI dropped to ~14psi but you could hear more air going through and definitely more power. PSI is a second hand metric, not a real number indicative of what is really going on unless you are talking about two exact same setups with the only difference being a tune.

It's fast. Still has power to weight. The thing is not like back in the days of N/A. I still like it. I crashed my s2k. Im not sure if I want another s2k or the type R. S2k feels slow for me now. Type r is fast stock. But I like na and the looks for the s2k. Specially with top down

[@jaybusa3302]

Is it just me or did it look really slow on the street ride part?

[@astarreece1064]

Jay busa look slow to me as well

[@straightupgutta]

Unless your pushing 400+ horse power everything looks slow on camera. In the car I'd imagine it feels faster obviously.

[@charleswrigley9488]

Mo wasnt you did look slow lol 😂

5:35 Hmm 6-Speed transmission in a 1.6L Integra?

[@DJJ13]

that moment you realize the intergra came with a d series engine as well as B series.

[@davidf6871]

Regarding front wheel drive cars and as a GTI owner for many years, putting all that power to the front wheels only can only go so far. My 2013 GTI was APR stage 2, 93 octane and gave it 280 hp. It was fast but very difficult on regular roads to keep the tires from spinning. Don’t get me wrong, I love the CTR, but they should have given it the SH-AWD. Current have a 2018 WRX stage 2 MA performance tune, j-pipe and exhaust. I don’t think I can ever go back to a front wheel drive car now.

[@Aznderek67]

I always think its crazy when they put the ecu in the engine bay

[@musshwins412]

this is cool but, i'd rather crack n/a vtec with 230 whp k series.

[@2_2_4_3]

Yup and rev to 9K

[@DonTHEhandsome1]

And still lose. Shit I love my Hondas too but welcome to 2018. Even V8 guys are conceding that v6 turbos are better. You can still rev to 9k with a turbo but make way more than 300hp

[@2_2_4_3]

@@DonTHEhandsome1 on the streets N/A 200-250 is plenty of power. Spinning ain't winning. I'm not talking at the drag strip where you need 400+ whp

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

Yeah, and you have to rev it to 9K+ rpm in order for it to be any competitive, low torque, I like naturally aspirated, but you’re going to make a lot more power and torque with forced induction, plus it will drive better on the street since it will make good low end torque thanks to the turbo. I notice it alone in my 18 Accord sport with the 1.5 turbo, compared to my last Accord with the famous K24, this 1.5 blows it away, more low end torque, I don’t have to rev it to 4K+ rpm just to pick up speed, at just 2.5-3K+ rpm, it does everything I need to pick up speed on the street and highway, the old 2.4 needed more revs to get anywhere, turbo makes a huge difference.

[@relate97]

“ spinning ain’t winning “ lol that line worked ten years ago I daily 500 horses and don’t think it’s even spun unless I wanted it too

[@tbrakohiapa]

Nice work guys. What about jumping on a 2018 2.0T Accord? Curious what you can tune with that since the engines are so similar. Also curios if the Civic's front Brembo brakes will fit the new Accord?

[@MB-yt2wo]

tbrakohiapa I would like to know this also my 18 Accord def needs a brake upgrade with that 2.0 cause it has some serious fade issues after some “spirited driving “

[@vivid_racing]

We can do them now www.vividracing.com/index.php?keywords=ktuner

[@tr6864]

I see less torque on higher rpm but increase in hp on same rpm

@Vivid Racing!! Can you please do a tutorial how to install vrtuning to a Lexus Nx200t and do a dyno test. Thanks..

[@franciscomartinez539]

Have you flashed the Accord 2.0T already? do you think it would make more torque and horsepower? Is it safe for engine and transmission on the 2.0t Accord after been flashed out?

[@MegaHollywood1971]

If you're in AZ, you'll want the highest OCT possible and IC. Get a KTuner and use the higher boost for winters and the mid for Summer - unless you are tuning with alcohol fuels....

1.6 hes refering to the sohc d15 civic of the 90's. Or were they d16s?

Theres a 6 speed sequential gear mod you can have done to b series. Trans for like 15k lol

you know the type r is detuned for the usdm market...they orginally make 360hp from factory. technically its still stock and retuned to its default power

Thank you!

[@maxwellsmart8730]

People, owning cars is like viewing art; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love it or hate it, you both are right. I love my Subaru Forester XT. It's ugly like all SUV's but it's fast and it gets me around in the Minnesota winters. I think the Type R is ugly too, but I bet it would be fun to drive. I wonder if a tune would squeeze more horsepower from my XT?

[@vivid_racing]

Tunes will always improve turbocharged vehicles as it is easy to squeeze more power out of them. Let us know if you are interested!

[@mauricejones8733]

I NEED A TUNE FOR A 2019 CRV 1.5T

[@jimzimprich6969]

Me too. A small tq. boost would be fantastic.

[@corone2018]

What happened to the torque steer cause i saw that wheel hardly moving at all .....

[@vivid_racing]

Their diff really eliminates that.

[@PROJECTDAGEKI]

They raised the axle more so that it could be more in the centre of the wheel. Ford and gm also have similar systems to reduce torque steer

[@JohanSalvattore]

The Honda geeks got rid of it. PHYSICS!

[@Lead_Foot]

@@vivid_racing it has very little to do with the diff, and more to do with the suspension geometry. It's similar to revoknuckle and hiper strut.

[@Tec-fv2xb]

[@taiwilson8966]

did he sell the B18c5?

[@civicpride1986]

This should not be call stock civic type r.. Sounds like this car has supporting bolt ons like intake, downpipe and exhaust.. more like stock engine and turbo.

[@taiwilson8966]

maybe it was a low baseline because of the bolt-ons without tuning to compensate? just a thought, it has happend

[@ohhailkingbobby1073]

Damn those are some awesome gains!!!

[@vivid_racing]

The FK8 is proving to be a wonderful machine to tune! Provided so much bottom end torque and throttle response

[@zchen1994]

I believe this civic is a little harder to steal !!!!

[@YoKhoe]

The whistling sound at the end is from the Injen intake? I didn't see a blow off unit, so if it is, that sound definition is what I'd want off mine.

[@beobe99]

They most likely come with a BOV stock, but that noise may have been compressor serge coming from the intake like your suggesting (basically the BOV didn't blow out enough air and causes the turbo to "jam up" pushing air back out of the intake).

[@VicsVlogz]

Stock BOV makes that noise. An aftermarket oem on these things aren’t suggested

[@YoKhoe]

Not hearing any from mine. Then again, still in break in period and haven't gone passed 4k rpm

[@VicsVlogz]

My boy just changed his intake to an injen one and the sound was noticeable but yeah maybe so broo

[@pinkliquid009]

@@YoKhoe unlikely that you've even really built boost yet which is why your not hearing it, run it out in third and lift off and you'll here it

[@mrmidnight32]

This car is still over hyped as fuck. It’s forced induction. That’s the ONLY reason why it’s better and faster. Barely faster on track than a 6th gen. Slap a turbo onto any other gen and it will be just as good if not faster than this. Turbo makes this car. But turbos make any car great.

[@jamiedyer7782]

they should have done AWD

[@mrmidnight32]

Jamie dyer I agree or FWD and it would have been something worth talking about.

[@aleksgagic9607]

Barely faster than the 6th gen.. mate you’re an absolute moron! It would absolutely destroy the 6th gen on any track, a 6th gen wouldn’t even catch up to a focus RS around the nurburgring and that is a whole 20 or so seconds slower than the new type R around the track. You haven’t got a clue about cars, do you even have your license? BTW, i’m not sure if saying the car should have been a FWD is a typo? considering it’s already a FWD car... I’ve seen you commenting on this thread a bit and you just have no clue what you’re on about.

[@jurzyjohner432]

I'm a Nissan guy and always raced and beat many Vtecs, but this cars got me loving it.

[@ovdman]

with the ctr engine and bosch ecu, boost tapers down to as much as 10 psi near redline because to properly tune you need to taper the boost down high up on the rpm range when the waste gate must stay open about 2 mm so there isn't excessive back pressure with such high air charge mixture causing cross cylinder contamination. if you're running 25 psi near redline you're going to get some bad results, knocking and detonation
