It’s a 3hp increase idk if with a tune or not. This engine is not meant to be nor should it be tuned. You can probably tune it up 10hp and that’s after a couple thousands: I suggest leaving it as is and buying a different car if you want more power.

got error emissions codes with my 2012 r18 ex. ordered hondata and now I got the codes away but it stutters at 2000rpm and 3000rpm when vtec kicks in...and I changed this to 3500-5500 and it ran amazing. 35mpg in town 45-60 highway but then I got error codes for bad muffler circulation. I have an aftermarket axel back 3' inleft 4' outlet. so I just flashed it back to stock and in process of tryna find a performance shop to see why this stutter is occurring.
+malicious_turtle All 2012 Honda Civic LX does have a 1.8 i-VTEC ,140hp./ 2012 honda civic EX 140-hp, 1.8-liter.vtec. and the 2012 Honda civic si 201-hp, 2.4-liter. VTEC.
What bumper? That is the standard bumper in all 9th Gen Civics Sedan, they just installed the front bumper lip spoiler... You can buy it from eBay... I got mine already.
Elijah Castaneda This kit is legal. Some kits do not have an exemption decal yet, which means they need to be evaluated by CARB and then they will be legalized.
Yes this system will fit a 2014 Honda Civic 1.8L. Check out the "vehicle applications" tab on the product page www.knfilters.com/69-1020ts-performance-air-intake-system
I'm sorry if the engine is sucked, it does not make sense for me to install the connection that follows after the filter down to the bottom of the motor .... because the air sucked will be what is wrapped in the filter.
Trying to remove my old air filter box now and with the two bolts removed it seems like it's connected in the back somehow? I have pulled pretty hard on it, but worry anymore will break something. Is there a bolt in the back on some?
No this system will not work for an Acura ILX. If you have any other questions regarding fitment please contact our product specialists at 800-858-3333 or tech@knfilters.com.
So um my fresh air hose is on backwards, that little round part is on the bottom instead, not sure why in your video it's the opposite, I've never touched it since I bought my car. So when I install this... So I want to put it the way I originally had it or the way you have it in the video?
i cant remove the air box from the mounting brackets (step 5) is there a specific way to remove it? i literally tried pulling it up and side to side but no luck. im at a stand still now if any one has ever done this before let me know pls
Tyler Redford i didnt. theres something holding on the airbox itself and its not a simple lift it up and pull it just like on the video. im gonna get my mechanic to just do it when its time for an oil change
Tyler Redford take it to the shop and ask them to remove it for you. I had to replace my tranny filter and I guess its underneath the air box so they had to remove it to get access to it. When I got home I was able to lift and pull the air box off since they loosened it up in the process of changing the filter.
Crimson XCVI so you had a transmission fluid change and filter ? my 2012 civic has around 68 xxx kms. i feel like changing the fluid is too early. they might just charge me for labour to clean the maf sensor(which is why i want to take off the air box).
Cooper Johnson Yup, well here's the thing, my car needed a tranny fluid and filter change anyways. Did some research and found out that the filter is underneath the airbox and in reality I needed them to at least loosen it up so i can clean the MAF and replace a cracked air intake hose myself. I dont know if that was a smart move on my part or what but I didnt want to break anything. Weird how its literally a gromet keeping the airbox down but it was impossible to remove. My car has 93k miles so it was time, either way dont go by mileage, check the fluid level and color. If its brown, its time to replace.
1.8L 16-valve, SOHC 4-cylinder I believe the engine code is the 1.8L R18Z1 i-VTEC SOHC I4 Also dont 'mind' the (V-TEC) Part in this.
