Hey man. Nice video. Please take the time to read.. So far I've driven 20,000 KM on the MHI TD03. I'm up North. I've had this MHI snail since July 2020 when it was brand new to the scene. First one failed when I was running 0w20 w/ just a downpipe and a reflash. To be fair I beat the crap out if it as soon as I got it installed, used the wrong oil, stock intercooler; turbo failed less than 24 hours and it was installed by an awful shop.. $$$ down the drain to re-install stock turbo. Lesson learned My TD03 was warrantied though. Had the replacement turbo sitting from August 2020 until January 2021 until I decided to have another go at it. Installed at a more reputable shop. Websites recommend 10w40 but this is what's throwing people off. Use 5W30. 5W30 works flawlessly on the L15B7. I've had no issues. Currently FBO (stock TIP) and It's seen laps at the track it. I broke in the turbo in the first 1,000 KM of turbo install. I'm 304WTQ @ 26 psi on 93 pump gas (via OBD II) on just the basemap. (I have a custom tune but haven't hit the dyno again since fbo)

27won turbo it is then. I appreciate the video and the honesty 👍👍

Thank you guys for posting this, I’ve been sitting on my MHI for a couple weeks. I saw on the forums someone else had posted they had issues upon install as well. I’ll definitely be sending this back and going another route. Keep up the good work guys and thanks again for all the awesome reviews on all the parts.

Aye, thanks for being honest with us during this review and not trying to sell us anything you don't have confidence in.

Could see JP's anger grow while he was discussing the history..... Another good video!

5:39 MHI does not state that you need to use 10W40; they recommend it. I decided to run 5W30 with my MHI turbo upgrade. Also, you can remove the fuel injector fuse to prevent flooding; it is located near the ignition coil fuse. I installed my turbo a few days after this video and haven't had any issues. I have put down over 2K miles so far and am being tuned by DROB.

Thank you for the honesty JP! This was initially the turbo upgrade I was eyeing with MHI being the same manufacturer of the factory FC turbos. :(

Amazing man... I appreciate you guys doing this for us.. means a lot. 💯 u guys always keep it 100% I know u guys will recover & I will also go with prl turbo from the looks of this

I was planning on buying a prl kit anyway. Very informative video. I really hope it helps the manufacturer figure out the issue. Keep the vids coming, I have more money to spend. The act clutch is going in this weekend!!

you got it, no MHI bashing...... WON W2 it is...

I’d rather have the tune rich than lean off the shelf. Good to see the tune was great other than the fuel adjustments

I’m hoping MHI reaches out to you guys and gives their feedback on this video. I’m very curious on why it failed 3x on you guys. The more information the better

Sorry, it didn't work out as you guys expected! Love the videos, keep it up :)

Appreciate what you guys do👍

That 1 dislike is from MHI 👀🤭😂

do a 27 won w2 turbo! im on the fence about getting it, seems like some great gains

Thank you for this video 🙏 you guys are the best

Crazy. My stock turbo, completely stock civic just died at 74,000KM. being replaced under warranty, so hopefully it doesn't happen again. If it does once my warranty is over I'll be going with an aftermarket company for sure for another turbo. Dealer said the failure was down to a spun bearing.

Thanks for the video. Bummer about y'all's luck with these. I've had my MHI TD03 for a year now. The only things I've noticed are that it accepts a ton of timing advance with the stock inlet and that boost tapers off after 5500 rpm

That's wild because both of my Tuners told me to get the MHI stage 2 over any other drop in because of reliability

This was very disappointing to watch, as I was looking to find a tougher turbo that can withstand a harder beating than the OE turbo. Your first pull made EXACTLY the amount of horsepower and torque I want to make, and is very close to what the Phearable 1.5 tune (for OE turbo) makes. (I'm also running this tune right now.) It looks like I'm going for a 27-Won W1, then. This video was very informative. Thank you.

Damn boy that oil is THICC Edit: 6:24

Bummer, but thanks for telling us the details of the story. This viewer appreciate the transparency. Did you try it without ethanol and just run 91 pump gas? I'm in California so I'm trying to keep my 10th gen Civic as CARB compliant as I can.

Installed and no break in. Jumped on dyno and floored it. No wonder it failed LOL maybe do better job of break in

I hope it gets figured out, this is frustrating im sure. Upgrade from oem sounded like a good idea but...

Thank you.

I need that exhaust setup up sir!

If you hold the throttle at wot while trying to start the car it disables the injectors, by the way

Maybe an oilrestrictor

-2°..... damn, happy I don't have that anymore. Lol Also, proud of you not snapping the extention, JP.... trololol

I've MENTIONED it MANY - MANY times regarding eng oil ! especially at warmer climates he did miss a part during lube process - CAPTS implemented an extra step to DOUBLE check ! heh . . . check your oil pump gears ;) peak boost 23 psi above 6000 ft elevation ? AGREE with them could be a bad batch & NOT pointing fingers at any parties. agree with him towards the end around 15.55

Dude 15w30 or 40 is to thick!!! No Japanese car use that 15w30 is what Harley Davidson uses , if they want it thicker you should go with 5w30 or 5w40 ... you should try again with the right oil

Mine runs awesome! Fk8 tho!

Wow really was hoping that this would be a nice oem+ turbo to get this has 100% turned me off from mhi

Hondata has a tune where you can swap the CRV/SI turbo into a sport hatch. I wonder how different that is than the MHI upgrade.

Max oil weight I've used on my 10th gen is 5-30 with this,same MHI turbo for almost 2 years and no issues. IDK why you used that thick of an oil

Awesome video thank you. What did you torque the oil feed line to? (Block side with the small 10mm bolt and the banjo bolt on the turbo). Any help would be much appreciated, just pulled the turbo because of a broken stud.

What a PITA...3 X is a charm. No more MHI

Do you guys at Edge Autosports use a defouler for your catless downpipe or did you tune there ECU to not throw a code ?

So I want to upgrade my turbo. Which one is the best for EDD? The power curve of the W1 looks good, but is that real?

Try one with factory oil spec.

have the mhi td025 for replacing a failed stock turbo. anything I should know before swapping it? can it use the 0-20 oil? can it use the stock tune?

I run this turbo now on my car. Td03 works with intercooler + down-pipe kit from Wagner. Reset is stock. The runner got me 275hp and 387nm. I’ve decided to downgrade to 250hp and 345hm. I am running in Motul 0w30 as always. Works great for a daily driver. I am curious if anyone with this turbo had any reliability issues so far. I only have 700km on it and it’s only highway ride.

what do you think for turbo 27won w2 ?

I need help! I keep looking online and I can’t find my answer, can I use the electronic actuator from the base model civic turbo on the si turbo ???

I see you guys still have the hks sqv on the car, how’s that been doing ? I’m on the fence about getting it.

Any idea if this could fit a 10th gen I had this in my tenth and yea it had more top pull wondering could it fit in the 11th gen

What ever happened to the prl big turbo kit you unboxed about a year ago???

Noticed that you still have this turbo up for sale on your website. What's the update? Is this a good turbo?

Quick question for you guys, when the turbo fails do you have to replace anything other than the turbo? Is there any debris in the head or any other side effect that could occur as a result of the failure? I’m asking because the same exact thing happened to me last weekend and I’m concerned that there could be damage elsewhere in the intake or engine itself. Thanks!

Does the prl 2160 directly bolt on? Or needs modification thanks!

Glad I didn’t but it

Go 27won it’s stronger!!!!

Hey brotha did you ever get an update on the turbo

To thick of an oil, 27won is garbage had two of then and both blew at recommended psi level , 27won is pute chine shit, if you want to upgrade the turbo save your money and get the prl kit

Where can I get that wing? It looks like the grc rally one

I’m in the market for a new clutch for my 19 SI, I watched the video of the ACT 6 puck. I was curious what your thoughts are now after driving it for a few months. Did you change the CMC, if not have you had any lock out problems? Thanks in advance!

How to install a bolt on turbo for a Honda Civic LX

So what did the issue end up being?

How would these turbos sound if the car had straight pipe exhaust

Does anyone make cams for that engine yet?
