This Si is a beast of a daily. I wish they can come up with a mod list of how you can make your 11th gen even more fun but doesnt mess with reliability
It is the ultimate give and take of modification. You sacrifice reliability for fun because in adding more rigidity and power to a car, you stress other components shortening their lifespan.
I am a bit hesitant to get the hondata and tune my car. My car is mostly stock no major upgrades to engine. But the tune done in this video is all I need and because of the video I need help with making sure I do the correct tune when I get my flash pro
Back in the day- like 1968 we used to drag race on the back roads outside of town using the same technique, except we called it board shifting, (Keep your foot to the floor on the accelerator as you go through the gears) We were doing this with Plymouth Road Runners, Chevy Chevelle SS396's and Dodge Super Bee's. With the tire technology of that era and lack of traction control, we were sideways and fishtailing it all over the place. Wonder we didn't kill ourselves. I just bought the 2022 Civic Si and it is a blast. Like driving with F1 technology compared to back then. Nice review Jason. Kudos to Hondata!
It is truly stunning what Hondata has done in terms of tuneability for these cars. To generate that much horsepower from just ecu flashing was inconceivable 20 years ago! Thanks for the great insight and review! Glad you arrived safely!
Very interesting & intriguing. It’s quite fortuitous that the HP was undervalued by that high a number. I wonder how much the average delta is with that # between different Si’s of the same exact year model & specs obviously. I saw an article where they stated that the latest Hondata Flash for the 11th Gen Si could be a HP boost that could potentially be upwards of around 37HP. So with the actual higher stock HP # & an ECU flash without any physical mods giving you a total reaching at or above 250 isn’t too shabby.
@@shutupishful That's not how Acura works. My bet you will have to buy an Integra with at least 1 or 2 option packages to get those features that are found on the base Canadian SI. maybe $3500+ more. We spent ~ $6000 (Technology + SH AWD) in option packages on our TLX and still don't have the fog lights that come standard on the Accord Sport.
i was just telling my wife how when i had my Honda quad 250R, i never let up off the throttle when shifting. This comes natural to me and easier then heel toeing. Of course on the quad the throttle was a thumb leaver.
This car is junk, dead steering and clutch feel, clutch is weak and won't hold extra power. Engine is made with cracker jack parts be ready to replace motors and head gaskets...
Test drove one and compared it with my 8th gen. Definitely more faster than the 8th gen for sure. But I just love the sound of NA and revving it to 8500 rpm.
From the looks of it, it seems like this also eliminates the rev hang. That’s my biggest pet peeve with this vehicle since I got it last year. If you are passing someone on the highway for instance, it basically feels like you are flat foot shifting because the rev hang keeps the RPMs up.
The K is nice, but the fuel economy difference between my 8th Gen Si and my 10th Gen Si is unbelievable. For a Daily Driver this little 1.5 is nice enough for what it is.
I have a 2020 ilx, which has the k24 and a dct. The manual in the Integra is way to expensive and do not want a cvt. May look at the si. Here in Canada, we get more options.
Will this damage any of the mechanics overtime or is it safe to use this tune indefinitely? because 250 HP on an Si sounds like the sweet spot and I want it.
@@ranthony2714 I read on the 11th gen forums the gearbox can take upwards of 350-375 hp before causing any problems. The factory clutch is what kills the ability to run more power stock because it only can handle 270 lb-ft.
Let’s be real any tune or beating on your engine will cause premature engine failure that’s just the name of the game with mods and tuning. It’s hard to say for longevity because with engines and tunes so many other factors are in play. I guarantee as we see more aftermarket support for the 11th gen we’ll have more reliable tunes but I’m thinking post tune the cars won’t last long.
U have to take a look at the Canadian market si, heated seats, heated steering wheel, fog lights, Bose audio system with wireless CarPlay, also has the full digital dash with led shift lights
The heated seats and the fogs, which were on the previous gen are the biggest offenders. Missing LED turn signals on the mirrors too isn't it? Maybe that was the Sport.
Obviously, you need to use only premium fuel once the tune has been added. My concern would be - what would happen if regular fuel was put into the tank? Even if not on purpose - let's say an unscrupulous gas station or mistake led to a station selling regular as premium? Would the engine blow up on full boost? @HondaPro Jason - After your comparison of US Vs Canadian features, I just cannot get myself to buy this car. I need those features found only in the Canadian model. I guess I have to wait for the Integra?
I know on my Fiesta ST tune from Stratified I have on the fly map switching with my cruise control buttons. I can go from 91 to 93 to valet mode at any time.
Biggest concern for me is if the stock clutch can hold up to that much power and torque. Time will tell as the clutch was 100% a limiting factor on the previous generation. Regardless cool to see.
Well, they noted it's already slipping so you'll need to downtune it yourself if you are. In any case, you'd be mad to be adding power and not upgrading the clutch in the first place.
@@eksentrysyti yeah I should have finished watching it. I know they went to a single mass flywheel design so I was hopeful that the clutch would be stronger.
If a person wants to lease the Civic SI, can you use the flashpro during the contract term then take it off before returning the car after the contract is done? Or can't be possible?
After that Canadian Civic Si video, all my hopes and dreams of this car have been shattered, can't knowingly purchase a car that's missing so many features and is cheaper to add insult to injury.
@Juan Suarez No, that's incorrect. You can't import a vehicle not originally sold in the US til its 25 years old. I moved from Canada to the US back in 2015. I brought my Ford truck with me, I just had to get some customs papers filled out. Since the Civic Si is being sold in the US, that 25 year rule shouldn't apply
Wait wait... Flat shifting is supported from hondata software and available to upload on the car? Also vtec and twin scroll turbo... Ok, I am glad I waited for this!
Hi Jason i would love to use that for my new Honda civic Hatch sports touring 6MT but i am scared I might mess up my electronics and ECU, can you do a video on how to really download and upgrade it step by step, please!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Have you accounted for the lighter fly wheel of the 11th gen. Dynos don't measure power, they infer power, and rotational inertia can have a significant influence on the results.
Hondata has been around for decades and I've never had any issues with warranty work (only recalls) on previous Hondata-tuned Honda's including 2010 RDX and 2008 FG2, I've never had issues with the engines other than 3rd gear popping out in the FG2 which was a common problem when using sh*tty transmission oil.
@@lepoldbuttersstotch What you said is nice and all, but in no way proves Honda will honour their warranty if you damage your engine while Hondata is installed. If your engine goes while you have an aftermarket tune installed they will do absolutely nothing for you.

Speaking of emissions, does anyone know if I can delete my Si's mufflers and still pass inspection in Texas, I've seen and heard turbos can be counted as one in diesel engines, but what about gasoline ? My si does have a turbo
Hey Jason do you know if a Hondata flash pro will work for the 23’ Integra? I have a deposit for one at my dealership, supposed to arrive sometime in august. but I would like to add more power.
They are currently working on a program for new Integra. Different models in fact some different trim levels are not compatible with each other they all have to be individually programmed.
Thanks Jason for the speedy reply! I’ll definitely be looking out for that from Hondata. I got the Aspec with tech package and 6 speed manual. Can’t wait to see what Hondata can do with that trim. I just found and subbed to your channel. Thanks again!!!
That’s pretty good for a flash!

Are all si’s going to have half digital dashes

Great gains, but it’s unfortunate the clutch was already slipping with just a tune. Any further mods/tuning will be pointless without a new clutch.
Exactly! Really disappointing tbh

2014 Fiesta st might be traded in soon. Need something new that still has the same amount of fun in it and more room in the back
Great video but it only reminds me of the shaft we got with such a simple cluster versus the Canadia SI.

Hi! Just want to ask the performance of the Si and is it safe during snowy road/ situation? I am planning to buy one too. Thanks in advance.
Do you need to reflash after you add an intake and downpipe?
I'm no expert but I would say yes just to make sure you're getting all the power out of your new bolt ons.
Do you have to leave the flash connected to the OBD2 port or has it changed the actual ECM?
This genius really just made it possible to download 30 more HP
that’s insane! gotta get it eventually for my Blue si 😍
Wish this wouldn’t tank the warranty I have certified warranty. To bad Honda doesn’t make the si have this much power from factory

Going for this. But if i can’t get it 10th gen isn’t bad either😭😂
I wonder what K-tuner is going to do. TSP usually gives a free tune with purchase of a K-tuner.
Do you need the flash to be able to shift like that or is that a factory option?

No lift shift I remember when the Chevy Cobalt SS had this on there. It’s nice to see this on a civic.

Which you thing is the best/better, Hondata or Ktuner v2?
Still waiting for the type s !!!
Is this like an octane tune? Changing it to 91 or 93? Or something else?
If you want to short life your engine or blow your engine this thing is right for you..!
Do you think that running such a tune daily would be negative long term for the car?
0-60 1/4 mile? vs stock?
If one day you decide to trade the car in for another , and tune it back to stock . Will these impede dealerships from buying ?
Hold on bois. This is going to be a tuner

How much power can a tune and hvi make on a 24 si with no other mods reliably on 91 and 93 octane?
Does tuning void dealer warranty?
If I have automatic transmission will it put stress on my clutch? 2013 honda v6
is it just me or did the right gauge looked Analog? I thought the 22 si is full digital?
