Hi guys been extra busy this few weeks and was waiting on some free time to start a proper thread for tuning questions, mod paths and whatever you want to discuss performance based for this platform.
Here is my original thread on Hondata on civicxi that might offer some insight to you on questions that you may have.

So after talking with @PrecordFK7 I have decided to do a little list of things I recommend. This only applies to DE5 and FL5. FK8 requires other things and 1.5L guys your mods are a little different.
1. Tuning software: Hondata
2. Intake: any that you like or drop in filter.
3. Downpipe: any that you like but TSP is the only one that won’t trigger a CEL for those looking for that.
4. Exhaust: any that you like (I’m personally not a fan of clamp exhausts prefer flanges)
5. High pressure fuel pump: ( Full race right now since it is the one that flows the most without changing cams, so plug and play) Hondata fuel system plus is a close second since it flows almost as much but you have to upgrade to their cam and can be costly. And I know XDI is working on something to compete.
6. Injectors: Hondata injectors have the best spray pattern and I find them superior to other offerings.
( I run XDI for now but looking to upgrade down the road to Hondata 1530cc injectors). The Hondata injectors have more ports to even out the fuel spray for better atomization.
7. Shifter upgrades: Like Ted Lasso said “you do whatever you like”
8. Charge pipes: PRL for now since they replace the Elbow and unless something better comes to the market.
9. Brake pads: I personally use Paragon pads on and off the track, just choose your pad type.
10. Turbo: what ever you want, quickest spooling is Kuro, MHI oem option good blend of power and Spool, RV6 slightly more laggy with good transient response due to ball bearing cartridge with the most power potential of the stock frame like turbos.
11. Low pressure fuel pump: Wunderland racing has a very nice plug and play ethanol aem pump.
12. Flex fuel: Hondata canflex kit.
