The Tuned 5th Gen Integra Experience & Reliability Thread

[gtman]

So, I know a few of you here come from owning a 10th gen Civic and are likely aware of the original tuning experience and reliability thread at the CivicX forum. We have nearly 1,500 tuned owners participating.

Here, we only have 30. And while I know far fewer 5th gen Integras are tuned, 30 tuned owners is a staggeringly low number.

If you're tuned, consider being a part of this project. I know there are plenty of owners on the fence regarding tuning and this thread might just help them decide one way or another. But, we need more tuned owners adding their cars and adding updates here.

Waiting on the updated insurance payout (accounting for custom parts coverage), and weeks or months of making dealerships compete against each other for a good deal, then I'll be back in the game. Unsure when I'll mod/tune again. Got burned pretty bad by the wipe out.

Appreciate the update. Interesting the you mention bbg. It seems to me that many owners don't take advantage of that when in all honesty it's one of the best user adjustments there is. I mean it can help with traction issues and lessen wear and tear. What's not to like, right?

I was concerned with using map 3 on a stock clutch. But after reading about bbg im more confident I can use the stock clutch before upgrading, if I need to upgrade at all.

Stock clutch should hold for a while if you avoid applying load in mid and especially higher gears. My '18 SI started slipping after just a couple months on Phearable 1.5 despite avoiding lugging. It's worth preparing for the inevitability. RV6 retrofit is meta.

The RV6 Retrofit is definitely on the list. The car already feels amazing, not having to worry about clutch slippage would make it even better.
