Lol @ everyone who thinks because there isn't a noticeable VTEC crossover that the K24 is somehow an inferior engine. What those people don't realize is that the VTEC transition from low cam to high cam is supposed to be smooth not violent like coming into boost from vaccum. The CORRECT way to tune a VTEC car is to run it on the dyno and set the crossover where the HP and TQ curves meet. On the smaller displacement engines, the TQ isn't there until a high RPM, so the crossover tends to be higher and more noticeable. The K24 makes gobs of low end torque that the smaller engines can't even dream to produce and therefore have a much lower and smoother crossover point. I assure you all though, the K24z7 is indeed a performer, and we have had several in our shop for tuning and they put down impressive times.

I just bought me a 2013 Honda Civic LX model with a hole 140 horsepower but it's just my daily driver. Love everything about it. Backup camera and built-in phone for hands-free link and does all kinds of other stuff. If car is like this came out 100 years ago, people wouldn't know what to think.
I just bought a 2009 civic si... going to make some videos of it and post on my channel!!! Can’t wait to have the car delivered to my house tomorrow. I’m so thrilled 😁
^^ well into the 13's (13.40-13.50) with just bolt-ons and tuning. We also have a customer who's all motor 9th Gen coupe with cams and a head package (stock short block) that will give the business to most stock block 2 liter boosted Si's in the 1/4, so the new platform is not terrible, just different.
It all comes down to gearing. 6th gear isn't meant for acceleration on those cars. Otherwise they wouldn't have made it begin outside of vtec engagement. It's strictly an overdrive.
Mine can get to 136 before it hits the limiter..but my car has some electrical issues so that may be why, also was on a downslanted road. Love dem SI's
0-60 in 7.5 secs. Nice. My civic hybrid is 9.5 seconds, but its not because of it's lack of horsepower, it's the stupid cvt. They tend to slip so the engine is limited by the computer to prevent transmission slip.
I remember when I was 10 and didn’t know anything about cars . My uncle had one . Back then for some reason, I like the cross over noise, now I know why
That was a good run! I have a 13 SI coupe and it tops out around where you did on 6th gear. I did notice you hit 78 on third on mine I hit 74 on a good roll on 3rd. Anyways I liked the video
The Accords are a bit heavier but can push until it hits about 140ish, with the rev limiter at about 6700rmp, you do not want to over load the heads and manifold
Interesting.. I have a Celica gts and it's very similar in the way it gives power with the second cam. The civics gearing is better for getting up to speed but i've hit 145 in mine with ease. This only touches 130.
Agreed, 135 is redline in 5th so id still have all of 6th to go, fastest ive taken my 02 and 03 gts’s was just over 150, wasnt willing to risk pushing em faster than that tho lol
To clarify the "correct" I had a similar dream. My advice: get an Si when you have had the chance to save up. Then learn to drive it - really drive it. Figure out something new every day. Change all of your fluids yourself, change the CMC, run Flash Pro, wrap the rims with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's, etc. (Personally, I don't drink the intake/exhaust Koolaid, but many do) Learn how to heel-toe to the point that it's reflexive. Run autocross and high performance driving events. Then, when you've saved up enough money to buy something fancier, you will know what you want and what to look for. In the meantime, you'll have a safe, reliable, fun car that zips around traffic - not because you're being dangerous - but because the car really is that nimble. Of course, that is predicated on having tires such as the A/S 3's. Don't start down the path to the aftermarket at least until you have good tires. And get an alignment program somewhere - the toe goes out by the time you pass 1000 miles. And of course, don't give up. The day will arrive that you drive an Si that's your own. Just don't let someone convince you to get a ninth gen. The last thousand rpm are worth it. Every day. No question in my mind.
jmendoza328 Just because he wants an Si, but has an EX "because of parents" doesn't mean that he's ungrateful. I'm sure he rather have a car than not, and he's appreciative to his parents for their willingness to provide said transportation. However, the Si isn't that much more expensive than an EX. Chances are that the parents made the decision for the EX for him, even if an Si could have been found cheaper because they didn't want their kid in a loud/fast car. It's also probable that said parents were envisioning the death trap also known as the Ford Mustang when they veto'd the Si. An Si and a Mustang are polar opposites. FWD vs. RWD. Cornering vs. Straight Line. V8 vs. I4. Etc. But, that doesn't change the perception of the automotive-impaired, so there ya have it
Good job at violating a bunch of driving laws while making this video. A cop would of been able to give you quite a bit of points if you got caught driving 135MPH with a handheld on your hands. Please be careful on the road. Sweet car on the other hand. The SI has a nice amount of horsepower to it and the trim is beautiful.
All these commenters don't know, Honda from this era set a speed limiter at 133/134 with a soft fuel cut limiter. My 6-6 accord I used to own had way more guys than a Civic SI, but would also slow right down at 130-134. Remove the limiter and see what happens.

not the video we deserved, but the video we all needed.

Such a great sound, the k20z3 loves that cold dense air.
They react better to cold air better than any engine I've ever built
@@highspeedenthusiast6628 the hemi engines really like cold air too
Might be surprising to hear but my 4.3 5 speed clapped out Silverado Fucking RIPPED in the cold, it hated summer, but it Fucking lovessss winter
With an intake and exhaust you can get up to around 150mph. Nat bad for 2litres
What creates that strong resonating sound in the intake? is it the piping or what? my k20 seems way quieter intake wise
Probably one of the best no BS civic acceleration videos

That 1st to 2nd gear shift was on point
😂 If 6th was a bit shorter I think it would've possibly hit 140+
I think it’s governed at 140
6th gear is too long, it's for cruising. Same with the Toyota celica gts, 6th gear doesnt pull. Unless you slap a turbo on it.
@@lewwallace5915 my 6th gear pulls just fine, but my Vtec engagement is at 4500 rpm instead of 5800. No turbo needed.

Just swap the sixth gear from JDM type R
Car comes with a factory speed limit. With hondata flash pro it can be removed.
Mrod1317 not sure if it’s worth it seeing as it won’t go much faster
Yeah top speed is probably 145 or 150 if you realllly want to stretch it. A tune might change that though
HONDA RULES lol not true this thing won’t make it into the 140s with the speed limiter deleted. It doesn’t have enough power, 6th gear is too long.

its all
that is true. very true. only problem is that you cannot make a VTEC joke with the k24.
then have you messed with a K24a2 from the TSX(which I own), 205hp 171tq, best motor for swap, fully n/a and fully Turbo
xxEJSubaru20xx the k24a2 is the best option for k24 out of all of them, the z7 is way too soft

Not slow by any means, but makes me miss my evo. Before I knew it I was at 120mph, it was getting from 145 to 155 that took forever

Is the VTEC crossover on these really that loud? My god it sounds amazing. that first gear
Yes.

That brutal. My 1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD does 150mph stock. 215 hp. I thought the SI was faster than that...
Dave Taylor All motor vs Turbo. Forced induction always trap more speed than naturally aspirated.
I agree my stock 2018 Chevy Cruze will will get to 133 faster then this. And it’s my economy car, one of the slower cars I’ve owned
Slapped 5th gear at 100? Poor car needs gezzus
Damn the civic si is a big disappointment, I think my prius can hang in with that.
It all comes down to gearing. 6th gear isn't meant for acceleration on those cars. Otherwise they wouldn't have made it begin outside of vtec engagement. It's strictly an overdrive.

That 30 degree weather helps! Talk about cold air intake
Holy shit balls !! Nice run !!!!
6th is definitely an overdrive gear, the revs dropped from 8000 to 5800. A shorter ratio would be nice :-)
You should have said, “This may be a little dangerous to record and drive at the same time.”
music to my ears! is it stock?

Solid
I've had my 02 ep3 at 153 and it still had some left in it!
Gearing in 6th is why it barely touches 130. If geared right, it could get at least another 10mph
