Lmao

im gonna sub just for that. this mans putting in the work

I always let the warranty run out, except when I had my last 2 mustangs, Ford actually sold a really nice calibration that was warranty approved if you had the dealer flash it for you and it had a CARB number. I had one for my 2.3 ecoboost and for my 5.0. Doesn't push it as far as aftermarket but keeping the warranty while picking up basically 30-40 free hp is nice.

@@arc00ta I've heard about that. Usually see that kind of stuff as a pre-packaged deal at the sale agreement with the dealership though. The vehicle comes with a dyno tune and has a limited powertrain warranty in case of mechanical failure, but ends up being wicked expensive for the buyer, both in the warranty contract as well as the numerous repair costs.

The thing about manufacturer warranties is that any damaged part that is usually covered under the warranty gets sent back to the manufacturer as a "core" through the warranty department. If it's found out that Stage 1-3 preset tunes from an aftermarket unit were used, then the claim is denied (as it's found to be the source of the damage and not the automaker's failure) and flat rate techs like me end up not getting paid for it. It's why we don't like preset tunes that were not included as part of the warranty contract.

@@benitoloco892 I know a lot of guys that try to reflash to stock and pass it off as a normal failure, some tuners can wipe the flash counters so they might be able to get away with it but I've never done it. Just seems dishonest, you broke it you buy it. On the other side, you get things like Chrysler denying warranty on hellcats because the dude put a K&N filter in it, well ok but the law says you have to prove his modification broke it and I'm pretty sure the air filter didn't grenade the differential at 1100 miles lol

@@arc00ta You would think that a cold air intake from K&N would be a perfect fit for a 6.2L Hellcat motor, lol! But yeah, I hear ya. Will say though, some auto warranties are sometimes like extended insurance policies: they are there when you don't need them but will gladly deny a claim for the dumbest reason. Seen it happen while I was working for GM. Then again, a lot of times there are legit reasons for it that if not denied, it can end up costing the auto makers more. This is especially so when everyone tries to pull off a dishonest warranty claim.

i know this comment was one year ago but it would be awesome if you could tell me what enabling each of those does for the car.

@@russelllaronjr3735 This is going to be a pretty long comment but here it goes: Artificial Knock Removal: To protect the engine, honda placed artificial knock at higher rpms which the ECU detects and will decrease power at higher RPMs. However, if you are running higher octane (93+) you don't really need this as knock count remains in a "safe" range. Enabling this feature will eliminate artificial knock and your ECU will not decrease power at higher RPMs. Early Spool: Early Spool starts the turbo spooling process sooner than factory adding additional low end and mid-range. (although with the CVT its still laggy but because of the trasmission and not the turbo; that being said you feel this adjustment more in the 6MT) Advanced VSA: When your car slips or looses traction while under throttle, the ECU pulls back ignition and throttle to prevent drivetrain wear, but you get a huge drop in acceleration (almost like letting go of the gas when you slip). Enabling this feature will decrease throttle drop during an event where you lose traction. (This is adjustable depending on how much throttle drop you want when your tires loose traction) Boost By Gear: This changes target PSI through different gears. You can keep it at 21 PSI on all gears but in 1st gear is pretty much useless and you just lose traction and VSA pulls throttle back and you get a drop in acceleration. 2nd aint too bad at 21 PSI but i have it set at 19 and i only ever floor it on 3rd. Ramp, Spool, and Throttle response are pretty self explanatory and you can adjust how aggressive you want it in the dropdown menu for each. Keep up on maintenance and use good fuel. Tune safe and be smart. Hope this helps anyone reading this.

@@Isiahdeguzable I appreciate you.

What is the phearable tune?

^^^^

If I get the phearable tune do I have to use 93+ octane ?

@@juliansantos2650 the regular standard one not the R or Race version can do 91 Octane minimum. The race version requires at least 93. You can get the race version on 91 but you would need to do 1 to 1.5 gallon of E85 mix.

@@robot3rk995 which phearable tune would you recommend with a Intercooler and a CAI on a cvt sport hatchback. I wanna use 91 because 93 is hard to find in my area

Thanks man I appreciate it! 🙏 Enjoy your dinner! And the video ✌

@DJ Ness stock i guess 201hp supposedly, but the chip tuning for my platforms seem unreliable and have not been around as long as ktuner and hondata.

Is this through the Ktuner? also, is the Phearable tune through the Ktuner as well, or is it on a seperate device? Level 0 tune n00b here.

Yeah I went for 1.2 for that reason. Cheaper price and no eye catching screens causing windows to be shattered by thieves.

Hu? The V2 is at no higher risk of being stolen than the 1.2. You do realize that you don't have to leave it mounted, right? You don't even have to leave it in the car. Once the tune is on the car, it stays. You don't need to keep the tuner attached. The upside to the V2 is that you can use the V2 to quickly change tunes when you want to (without a laptop).

Post videos bro

Yeah post videos about it

I'm buying a 2020 Hatchback Sport 6mt later this week. This will be ny first time modding a car im excited but dont really know much yet

I have warranty as well. Actually even got extended warranty as well. I felt the same as you and then one day after getting oil changed, I figured I'd pull the trigger and had no regrets after that. Car still ran fine (probably with my partial performance add ons the cold air intake and bigger Intercooler) but it became much more fun to drive now. It feels different than stock like way better!

Tuned at 900 miles. Be smart and you’ll be fine.

Plot twist : he ended up not getting shit

Yeah man. Had to bring the whole set up out 😂

Ikr? But when I'm ready to do something like that to my car nothing is gonna stop me. Gotta do what you gotta do. Surely a usb wifi adapter could have been used. Respect for getting it done though

Yeah man. Definitely worth voiding the warranty. Lol I'm certain there won't be anything wrong with the engine just as long as I don't go too crazy with the tunes or flooring the car everywhere I go. Lmao It's amazing how much power the car has already without the proper performance upgrades. No regrets!

probably came with the tsp tune cause they do have a package on their website that does come like that, cause base tune on hondata and ktuner it gives at most 180ish to 190ish whp

especially with base tune, no way in hell he can get a 0-60 in 5.5 with base tune, my 2022 1.5t cvt does it in the mid to low 6s

Do I need to use better gas than 87 or 89? If I have it tuned to TSP1

@@jonathancrane808 stay at stage 1 with CVT. There’s a limit as to how much power they can take

Hey man. The cable fits fine on mine. Not loose at all. Also I'm using the base map stage 1 tune which gives +18psi/improved throttle response. Incredible how much it made the civic feel faster. Also I haven't had any problems whatsoever with the sri. Even with 95degree weather with high humidity. I left the car sitting for at least 10 minutes and the max temp I saw was between 170- 180 according to the ktuner.

cvt handles wayyy more power than the ktuner will ever give it

I was considering hondata.. hear good things

I'm dying 😂😂😂😭

Might as well add AWD while you’re at it😂

@@CODgod357 that’s next next video for Chris

It will get better throttle response time and more horsepower earlier so definitely worth it

Plus lowers vtec threshold to 5300 or 5600

Or Phearable 1.5R 😏

I got it from bayson R but I think they sold out according to my viewers of the channel.

How are they? I just bought myself a 2020 sport hatchback and I’m looking at cosmetic mods since the warranty hasn’t expired yet.

@@btrain213 honestly I love the look of them! The blacked out style is great. But it was like a 6/10 difficulty to install. KZfaq has a few good videos though that really help show you how to do it yourself if you want to save some money

I havent dynod yet but the car feels like it's at the very least close to 200whp now.

According to the website should be around 210whp. Probably gonna go with this for my wife’s car.

😂😂😂

Depends on the tune. Stage 1 is pretty safe for stock components.

I have a ktuner on my 2021 hatch back civic, the base maps run perfect on the cvt. However if you run the higher psi settings if you have the 1.5 T it’s risky wouldn’t recommend.

@DJ Ness thanks, I got some friends suggesting I buy some cheap steel wheels to swap out in the fall and spring. So far I’m loving the car

Hell yeah has Pretty good amount of space for the size

I’m running 6.3 with just an intake so 5.6 is very believable

@@chrismcclure6438 Cool that’s Si territory. 👍

@@roger3958 was running around 6.6-6.7 stock

i have the stage 2 ktune, i can say it packs a punch but traction is my only battle. with full traction i could easily hit 5.2-5

They're great! Must have for sure. Easy to clean. Makes the interior look awesome!

I don’t floor it at first. Otherwise there’s a good chance you might loose traction. I give it about 75% and then 100% once it reaches like 15mph. Something like that.

I have yet to play around with the settings. How could I adjust the settings for that?

@@chris_timefk8 it’s one of the main settings on the same screen the layout is. I am about an hr away from Philadelphia we should hook up for a video. I just did an intercooler a few days ago and acuity upgrades to my 6spd.

You can restore to factory settings. I haven't had the tune long enough yet to determine gas mileage.

Not sure, but I'm sure there are sound clips on youtube. Of the exhaust 😄

@@chris_timefk8 also for ram intake did you chose Street or race

@@zzimmiee993 Is urs a cvt? If so how has it been? Thinking of getting mine.

with the CVT i highly doubt it, it might die because of all that torque, 250 might be the limit

Sure!

I recommend Phearable as it is comparable to TSP but a bit more smooth. I also hear it is easier or safer on the CVT than TSP.

@@robot3rk995 really? Can you send me resources where you got that from? Because I’m pretty sure TSP is less harsh on CVTs, but if I had an Si, I’d choose Phearable anytime

@@kg_1720 I've seen some forum posts about how the TSP is a bit jittery on the lower rpms from users who had used both. Phearable has a Non-Si tune. Both tunes are great and if you aren't abusing it then it shouldn't be an issue for the CVT.

This is a regular sport hatch

The best there is 👌
