For those asking for HP. Depending if you have a custom tune or chip tune, 93/91 or ethanol blend/e85, psi, for this setup or similar, most people I personally know make around the 260-300whp and similar torque. It feels quite quick these cars don’t weigh a lot.

I have a blue 2018 Si and it's the 1st car that I have ever bought that I was unimpressed on the test drive. I bought the car because I wanted a manual gearbox again and better MPGs than my previous car. For only 2 grand, the Si was transformed into a force to be reckoned with! I did a 27WON intake, a Ktuner with TSP Stage 1 tune, and a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. I eventually had to do the clutch master cylinder, clutch line, (stainless steel) and an upgraded clutch to hold the torque. This thing is the best bang for the buck out there. I couldn't realistically ask for more!

The L series engines actually don’t have any lift control if I’m correct they only have variable valve timing, the L series came in the normal 10th gen civics and the Si. The type R came with the K20C engine which actually keeps all of VTEC with lift control and variable valve timing. Anyone correct me if I’m wrong.

In this heavy car you need turbo with some serious psi around 15 to 20 for some real fun.
Just wondering why does it sound like the rpm’s drop greatly during shifts? And it seems like it not consistently in a high rev range? I’ve never driven a 10th gen si, but normal k series you can keep them at 7k+ rpm fully rowing through gears

Thinking of prl big turbo for my cvt fk7 2019 civic hatchback sport. It'll lower the torque and allow you to creep to 300hp.

I like how this car is put together but…No hate. Although I feel like the mods put into the car could’ve got you into a Type R, or even closer to owning one? Especially the power wise since you said it’s just “little more than stock”. I guess keeping up with a stock type r is nice. Just my opinion however.

It’s the race to keep up with emissions regulations unfortunately. Small displacement, direct injection, high compression and forced induction is the formula manufacturers are being forced into these days, and this setup (while it still makes power and passes emissions) it’s not really going to behave like the high-reving screamers Honda used to produce.

I've been in the market for one of these and was wondering what type of fuel you put in it. I know the owner's manual states that the car should receive premium, but can it take regular? Furthermore, I think the car has a knock sensor that changes the ignition timing caused by the difference in the fuel quality. Still, I would like to eliminate knocking altogether to preserve the engine.
