As far as tune experiece updates, always do a new post. Don't overwrii your original post. Thanks.

Would love you to be an official part of this thread. To do that, add your car in the format shown in the first post so you can be added to the tuning stats.

You're not wasting any time are you? Fantastic build.

If you mostly use 93 where you live, get the 93 octane tune. If traveling where only lower octane is available, use Map 1 and ideally, don't push it super hard. Basically you won't be hurting anything. Knock control will be elevated, meaning reduced power.

One thing to add is you can do map switching with the car stopped or on the move. When stopped, you need to hold the cancel button about 2-3 seconds. While moving, KTuner set it up so it takes even less time.

To put it bluntly, once you switch to the Phearable 1.5R you realize how held back the car is by the stock tune. Sure the CVT isn't the most exciting transmission but tuned on the 1.5R it's just a different animal. Better throttle and turbo response, less lag, more power and it's more refined...

Why don't you add your car in the proper thread format (look at the first post) so we can list your failure. It's important to note what tune and mods you were running. I've been doing this a very long time (studying tune reliability) and 1,000 miles on an OTS tune should in no way cause a...

No not really. I have a KTuner V2 but I don't leave my KTuner hooked up. I only use it for flashing tunes and running random datalogs from time to time. And there's a benefit to that... Just like you (for daily commutes), I use Map 1 for the most part. And like you I switch maps while driving...

I mean, a lot of it depends on how you drive and how often you're pushing it in Map 3 as far as clutch longevity. There's no doubt though that Map 3 has some serious torque. Some people (myself included), do most of their commutes in Map 1 or 2, saving Map 3 for "special occasions". The great...

The base KTuner tune has a more aggressive feel down low and fizzles out up top. It's designed to feel super lively in city driving. The Phearable tune is more linear top to bottom and does feel less torquey off the line. Basically, the KTuner base maps have most of the grin factor under 4000...

I was looking at those numbers on the Phearable tune. Wow.

Thanks for posting that update. Congrats on the new ride!

Here's how I sum it up over and my long term CivicX tuning reliability thread: Which is my way of saying if you don't drive like a maniac and you maintain your car properly, tuning has proven to be quite safe overall.

Thanks for adding your car. Side note: For updates, it's better to add a new post to show more tuned miles driven, tune or mod changes etc... Otherwise if you go in and edit your original post, some of the info is overwritten and lost. This is the way I've been doing it for years at the other...

100% this. I can't include his car in the stats the way he posted that and it doesn't help the community.

@pho69 ... You'll notice the way John designs his tune is that it will feel more linear from top to bottom. Throttle response may feel a bit less "twitchy" but man, put your foot into it and you'll think there's a V6 under the hood.

Base tunes are decent. John Vega's (Phearable) off the shelf tune is much smoother and more potent up top.

Just a reminder to anyone in the community that's tuned. Please add you car to this thread in the format in the first post: Vehicle: Total tuned time: Tuned miles driven: Tuning device(s) used: Tunes used: Fuel used: Additional related mods: Problems/issues: Driving style: Tuning...

So, I run tuning reliability threads here, at CivicXI and CivicX as well. I've driven a tuned 1.5Turbo CVT 10th gen for 6+ years. The CVTs in our cars have proven to be surprisingly robust. Basically, don't brake launch it and it'll hold up well. Honda OEM fluid is all your really need and...

100% yes. An off the shelf or base map will be fine for that.
