Yeah also 6th gear is just an a highway economy gear. 1-5 are really your acceleration gears. 133 is still impressive for an NA 4 cylinder which i presume is realitively stock, maybe intake and exhaust and a few other bolt ons
Your shifting is perfect 👌 especially recording and driving! You nailed it!!! I tried a couple times ended up dropping my phone once another time the camera is just too shaky... haha you did and awesome job!!!
It makes a difference. You can feel it Car runs like a 2 stroke. Banshee 350 I used to have this car 3rd gear pulls like a V8 in the Civic.. I know because I have a Mustang now
@@TheCelticsAREboss it’s governed at 134, I found this out when I was tuning my car and you could override the governor, I have the vids on UA-cam, and I’ll probably post a top speed run pretty soon
I just bought me a 2013 Honda Civic LX model with a hole 140 horsepower but it's just my daily driver. Love everything about it. Backup camera and built-in phone for hands-free link and does all kinds of other stuff. If car is like this came out 100 years ago, people wouldn't know what to think.
Lol @ everyone who thinks because there isn't a noticeable VTEC crossover that the K24 is somehow an inferior engine. What those people don't realize is that the VTEC transition from low cam to high cam is supposed to be smooth not violent like coming into boost from vaccum. The CORRECT way to tune a VTEC car is to run it on the dyno and set the crossover where the HP and TQ curves meet. On the smaller displacement engines, the TQ isn't there until a high RPM, so the crossover tends to be higher and more noticeable. The K24 makes gobs of low end torque that the smaller engines can't even dream to produce and therefore have a much lower and smoother crossover point. I assure you all though, the K24z7 is indeed a performer, and we have had several in our shop for tuning and they put down impressive times. We are sending stock weight 9th Gens well into the 13's with just
It all comes down to gearing. 6th gear isn't meant for acceleration on those cars. Otherwise they wouldn't have made it begin outside of vtec engagement. It's strictly an overdrive.
I just bought a 2009 civic si... going to make some videos of it and post on my channel!!! Can’t wait to have the car delivered to my house tomorrow. I’m so thrilled 😁
Mine can get to 136 before it hits the limiter..but my car has some electrical issues so that may be why, also was on a downslanted road. Love dem SI's
^^ well into the 13's (13.40-13.50) with just bolt-ons and tuning. We also have a customer who's all motor 9th Gen coupe with cams and a head package (stock short block) that will give the business to most stock block 2 liter boosted Si's in the 1/4, so the new platform is not terrible, just different.
0-60 in 7.5 secs. Nice. My civic hybrid is 9.5 seconds, but its not because of it's lack of horsepower, it's the stupid cvt. They tend to slip so the engine is limited by the computer to prevent transmission slip.
I remember when I was 10 and didn’t know anything about cars . My uncle had one . Back then for some reason, I like the cross over noise, now I know why
That was a good run! I have a 13 SI coupe and it tops out around where you did on 6th gear. I did notice you hit 78 on third on mine I hit 74 on a good roll on 3rd. Anyways I liked the video
Good job at violating a bunch of driving laws while making this video. A cop would of been able to give you quite a bit of points if you got caught driving 135MPH with a handheld on your hands. Please be careful on the road. Sweet car on the other hand. The SI has a nice amount of horsepower to it and the trim is beautiful.
haha stock vtec range is stupid high but does make for a fun powerband. Saving money to go full bolt on on my Si, trips me out that it keeps pulling even harder past 6k rpm. Fun little car.
Interesting.. I have a Celica gts and it's very similar in the way it gives power with the second cam. The civics gearing is better for getting up to speed but i've hit 145 in mine with ease. This only touches 130.
Agreed, 135 is redline in 5th so id still have all of 6th to go, fastest ive taken my 02 and 03 gts’s was just over 150, wasnt willing to risk pushing em faster than that tho lol
The Accords are a bit heavier but can push until it hits about 140ish, with the rev limiter at about 6700rmp, you do not want to over load the heads and manifold
TehCapri I doubt it when you only have 5 gears.. I've owned an 08' ex and 09' Si and the ex topped out at 183km/h.. Si has trouble past 205km/h (end of 5th) riding out 6th in the Si is crazy maybe suicide.. so ya that's not true at all :)))) Realistically with a tune on your EX you can achieve that because you would need that 6800 redline to be 8000 at least :/
It’s wise to remember the fact that the Si is just shy of having a 5:1 final drive ratio (I believe it’s 4.76) while an ex is most likely in the 3.xx range which would be where it gets its room to carry that kind of speed.
It would appear after some research that I’m wrong. But they do still have a taller final drive. The manual ex is quoted as having a 4.29 while the automatic has a 4.44. Both transmissions are actually double overdrive transmissions with 4th being the first overdrive gear and obviously 5th being the second.
132 MPH: VTEC KICKED IN YO! 10 minutes later: 133.....133 and a half...
That's called a limiter lol
the cluster couldn't go more than 133mph i think. my fd2r stucks on 263kmh (160mph i guess) but actually i was driving 270++kmh.

a rare video of a 1080p speed run. thought the 144p was the usual
yes filming with a old razr flip phone is the standard for speed videos!
Sooo true still in 2020
not the video we deserved, but the video we all needed.
@MrCrazy0ne 240p*
They spend so much on a car they couldn't afford a better camera.
Such a great sound, the k20z3 loves that cold dense air.
They react better to cold air better than any engine I've ever built
@@highspeedenthusiast6628 the hemi engines really like cold air too
Might be surprising to hear but my 4.3 5 speed clapped out Silverado Fucking RIPPED in the cold, it hated summer, but it Fucking lovessss winter
With an intake and exhaust you can get up to around 150mph. Nat bad for 2litres
What creates that strong resonating sound in the intake? is it the piping or what? my k20 seems way quieter intake wise

Civic be like: "fuck you ecu!"

Sounds incredible, and even more so when you consider that it’s a 4 banger
That road is like an autobahn. That must have brought you so much joy.
Figured when VTEC hit in sixth it would have started accelerating again.
Same lmao
It probably hit the limiter
I think it pushed her to 133 and maybe couldve to 135
Maybe there’s a governor at 133?
@@LemondzzPvP 134 is the governor, hondata has it set to that but my fg2 I set it to 200mph. not like it'll hit it anyway lol

So crazy to think I have a ZX10R motorcycle that will hit 100mph right at 2nd gear but yet this is so much more fun

KZEnvy08 u just refreshed my comment section
@@oatmealtheecat8188 Wtf same 💀
there's no "damage" audible. Sounds like a healthy k20z3 to me
That 1st to 2nd gear shift was on point
Honestly no idea how much of a difference the VTEC actually makes jokes aside, but man that sounds soooo nice when it kicks in around 6k on the tach
Definitely makes a difference timing changes, more fuel & air getting sucked in, the k20 is just a big vacuum so the more air in the happier it is
It makes a difference. You can feel it
Car runs like a 2 stroke. Banshee 350

😂 If 6th was a bit shorter I think it would've possibly hit 140+
I think it’s governed at 140
6th gear is too long, it's for cruising. Same with the Toyota celica gts, 6th gear doesnt pull. Unless you slap a turbo on it.
@@lewwallace5915 my 6th gear pulls just fine, but my Vtec engagement is at 4500 rpm instead of 5800. No turbo needed.

Just swap the sixth gear from JDM type R
I’m addicted to that glorious sound😂
Car comes with a factory speed limit. With hondata flash pro it can be removed.
Mrod1317 not sure if it’s worth it seeing as it won’t go much faster
Yeah top speed is probably 145 or 150 if you realllly want to stretch it. A tune might change that though
HONDA RULES lol not true this thing won’t make it into the 140s with the speed limiter deleted. It doesn’t have enough power, 6th gear is too long.
It’s insane how good this car sounds. I have an 08 SI

5250 on most engines is where hp and trq meet I believe...and I said MOST not all. jus sayin
its all
that is true. very true. only problem is that you cannot make a VTEC joke with the k24.
then have you messed with a K24a2 from the TSX(which I own), 205hp 171tq, best motor for swap, fully n/a and fully Turbo
xxEJSubaru20xx the k24a2 is the best option for k24 out of all of them, the z7 is way too soft

This vid sold me the Si, I've owned mine for 2 years now. C:
this setup is dying for a header and tune.. good vid! do more bolt ons!
That sound...
I may not be a Honda fan but I like how u can Rev all the way up there . And this car was meant to be tuned . That 6th gear screams mods

Ahhhh my favorite video of all time I’m here for the 1000th time, can’t believe this is a 10 year old video now.
That brutal. My 1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD does 150mph stock. 215 hp. I thought the SI was faster than that...
Dave Taylor All motor vs Turbo. Forced induction always trap more speed than naturally aspirated.
I agree my stock 2018 Chevy Cruze will will get to 133 faster then this. And it’s my economy car, one of the slower cars I’ve owned
Slapped 5th gear at 100? Poor car needs gezzus
Damn the civic si is a big disappointment, I think my prius can hang in with that.
