I was going to buy a Civic si until I recently found out about this major problem. Sounds like their high pressure fuel system is a total failure. Too much pressure blows fuel past cold rings and disaster. So what did you end up trading for?
@coachvonyoАй бұрын
Yes it was so bad I couldn't believe it. I know makers are getting better at high pressure DI but no clue on if Honda ever remedied this. We got an equinox with the 1.5 DI immediately after. Did an oil analysis after a full oil change interval and no oil/fuel dilution.

The long term wear on the bearings is the issue, nobody knows how much wear this is causing. Nobody forced Honda to switch from the bulletproof K24 engines to this 1.5L Earth Dreams nightmare.
@donniev8181Ай бұрын
There's a reason why Honda removed the "earth dreams" badge off of this engine. The direct injection plus turbo builds up too much pressure and pushes gasoline past the rings. I think it's simply the design, that small of an engine cannot handle that much pressure. Stiffer or wider rings may be a fix?

@@mingomane1 one variable in play with what you describe is wheelbase. Some machines are about 2 feet longer. This moves the engine rearward creating less cab noise. A drawback for some then becomes vehicle length. This is an equation Yamaha was deliberate on in making a car that can carry 4 and still have the wheelbase near a 2 seater even at the cost of it potentially being a little louder. With proper helmets or hearing protection, it minimizes that variable to some degree. I definitely understand your position though, and wish you luck in finding the right car for your family!

I’ve heard the cab noise on the 4 seater is very loud. Thoughts?
It does seem a little louder than the 2 but not by a lot. At lower speeds they aren't bad. At higher speeds I recommend a helmet, hearing protection, or add an intercom system like we did. Keep in mind that they are all loud at speed. Noise is not a reason to avoid an Rmax.
@@coachvonyo well I had a ranger xp1000crew then switch to a krx. The krx was unbearable. Not a fun machine to take the kiddos on an adventure. I’m drawn to the commander due to the quiet cab. 2 seat rmax would be nice but I need more seats and a dump be for yard work. If the rmax 4 checked all the boxes I could look past the dump bed but the noise cab is more important to me.
Great video though!!
@@mingomane1 one variable in play with what you describe is wheelbase. Some machines are about 2 feet longer. This moves the engine rearward creating less cab noise. A drawback for some then becomes vehicle length. This is an equation Yamaha was deliberate on in making a car that can carry 4 and still have the wheelbase near a 2 seater even at the cost of it potentially being a little louder. With proper helmets or hearing protection, it minimizes that variable to some degree. I definitely understand your position though, and wish you luck in finding the right car for your family!
@@coachvonyo correct but the shorter wheelbase is also a cost of the dump bed. Whole point of sport utility is the dump bed. All of the Japanese oems seem to forget that important part. If I don’t have kids I would 100% grab the rmax. I think the shorter wheelbase gets overblown imo. I wish they had made the rmax4 the same as the general or commander. I would bet they would sell even more!
You have sold me. Good thorough job.
I finally got my hands on an RMAX2. Checkout my thoughts here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6Grp7GcorWyhrw.html
