I was just gonna buy an Si. But when I see the hatch back, I fell in love with the trunk size. Too bad Si doesn't come in a hatch. I don't want a less power hatch sport touring. So I ended up buying a Type R. I got everything I want except the price. But what the heck, we only live once.
The sport touring hatch and the si make basically the same power with the same bolt ons and tune. The con is that there is no lsd in the sport touring. I am a proud owner for the FL1, type insurance was too crazy here in NY
Just bought this as my first car 2 months ago and driving it always puts a smile on my face. Also did a 27WON short ram intake and it sounds phenomenal.
27won turbo inlet, BOV spacer and DC cold air with a hondata tune its enough for the stock clutch. Add a downpipe with stock exhaust there sprising loud enough
Intake on modern turbo cars are crazy lol. Its makes the car sound more powerful than it does My intake and stock recirc valve is so loud, people look. Makes jdm noises, but im in a bmw 428i gran coupe. If you close your eyes during turbo noises, sounds like a silvia lol
That’s crank hp for sure. It took alot more than an intake and tune for me to hit 250whp seeing how these cars make like 170-180whp stock. Mine took full bolt ons and a tune and it made 264whp on 93oct.
All I needed was catless downpipe and prl race maf and I’m on 1.5R tune I also ran tsp stage 1+ for a while and I keep up with the FL5 pretty consistently
Has anyone ever told you you kind of sound like Sam Sulek? That aside keep on doing what you’re doing brother! This was a great review of the Civic Si 👌🏼
this car is 100% a touge car. if you drive it really hard on a downhill you rlly don’t need much more than 250-300whp. if u want a honda drag car get a 8th gen
Nice car brotha!!! sounds nice too, I just test drove a TYPE R today and man that car is crazy lol. But I use to have a 10th gen si and loved everything about it except the collision features came on at random. Does that happen on the 11th Gen?
Did you change out the clutch? Hondata said the 250hp tune is too much for the stock clutch and recommends not using it unless a stronger one is put in. Experienced any slipping?
Atm im on 25psi on 91oct and have been on 23psi e30. No slip so far. Still gotta test some e30 at 25 & 27 psi on the phearable tune to see if it can take it. I think i got one of the good factory clutches
From an 10 gen si owner definitely think about getting the head studs done. The added boost will eventually lift the head. Just with a tune the head will lift. Personally had it happen.
In my opinion if you want to keep the car a long time with added horsepower. Do The head studs first before adding performance parts including a tune. I daily drove mine. Had an intake, intercooler and a tune. Lasted 92k before the head gasket let go. Dumped all the coolant into the exhaust.
@@Highvoltage319 Gotcha, thanks. Used to work in performance shops/operate a dyno. In my experience the intake/exhaust modifications shouldn't affect the cylinder pressure (i.e. via increased boost) and therefore not affect the head gasket/studs unless you are running lean as a result.
@@Highvoltage319 it’s just a theory but I think stock the 11th gen will last much longer with out head studs just because at higher rpms the vtech will help with torque down low
@@torreSi2024 highly suggest a KTuner v2 and TSP combo deal. It's $600 (the tune comes free) and idiot proof to install. The KT v2 has a touch screen that makes flashing the car back to stock so incredibly easy as well. It's one of the most popular '22+ Si tune combinations
You sure 11thgen si $30,000 car? The msrket after signing all papers at dealerships you going to pay right at $40,000. 11thgen Type R right at like $53,000 or so
Definitely needs a Intercooler upgrade and needs to be a 2.0. The 1.5T is a blown head gasket waiting to happen within the first 5-6 years of ownership. And it’s not a “sports car” its a sporty car!
Because there is a such thing as being a Fan of a particular trim level of a car. They have their own communities TYPE R community SI community even a Prelude community. Its his choice what he decides to do with his money just like you wouldn't want someone telling you what to do with your money right?
@@iManual6peedU kind of proved his point in your first half. If you're a TRUE FAN of a certain make, model and trim, then you should be a Fan of that car CLOSER to it's factory form.

@@kevinsbiscuitsnjelly8193 so modding a car means you’re not a fan of it? Damn lol Subaru just left the chat 😂. I believe there is more than one definition of being a fan of a particular car., and one you would like to make with your own taste.
@@iManual6peed No! Nothing wrong with 'light' mods, like a K&N drop in, SRI's, performance tires, small cosmetic add-ons or even lowering springs, fine. But If were talking 'heavy' power mods like aggressive Tunes, large Turbo's, Engine rebuild's/swaps, Intercooler's etc. then yea....your not a TRUE fan of that car IMHO lol. Cuz now you're trying to create a different animal than what you purchased.

@@kevinsbiscuitsnjelly8193 it’s cool I feel you on that front but we will have to disagree on this one brotha 😂. Tuning the car you love or a fan of is fine. Power mods are standard upgrades at this point. All types of cars do it. Example I’m making a track focused 86 on my channel and once I’m done with it, it won’t drive no where similar to stock due to suspension upgrades tires aero etc…. But it will perform in a way that suits my driving style.

I would say the handling of the si if my favorite part so far. Looking to get an intake soon!

Haha thanks bro!
Hes does holy shit
I have a type r. But love the si
The SI already have a cool air intake.
Did your tune void your warranty? Im looking to do the same to my si but really dont want to void that warranty
Most likely, wait until its out if warranty to tune it
The stock exhaust on these cars do sound very good.
My 2020 coupe is at 260hp it’s what the car should’ve been

This car is fun on mountain drives, so stable and traction control keeps the car in lane at fast cornering.

So far, I haven't had that problem, could be an ECU or sensor issue?
@@HesiDrift I am never got it figured out sadly I ended up trading it in. Glad to see that you’re enjoying the new SI though.
Did you change out the clutch? Hondata said the 250hp tune is too much for the stock clutch and recommends not using it unless a stronger one is put in. Experienced any slipping?
Nope stock clutch is holding up just fine for me!

What cold air intake and tune?
What is your camera aspect ratio when filming this video pov? Thanks
very nice
How much is a hondata carb tune?
750$
What cam setting are you using?
fish eye lense!
An intake and a carb tune does not make it 250 bro😅 mine is fbo with a pro tune and barely got 252 on the dyno
the hondata tune by itself makes 250, lookup the dyno sheet bro
@sambo_smesh4226 maybe at the crank. Whp. No chance.

@@HesiDrift yaaa that's crank.
Nice turbo
There's no exhaust noise
Not a good idea to put more power into that 1.5L if you plan on keeping it for a long time.
What stage of tune is it?
Stage 1

It needs an exhaust
14:50 should have popped the hood
What kind of cold air intake you have
It’s a K&N cold air intake I believe
