10th Gen Civic Si - PRL Intercooler Impression
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- I just scored a PRL intercooler and charge pipe kit off a dude trying to restore his Civic to sell for a Type-R. Good luck to him on that. I drove the car immediately after installation and blew a hose clamp connection. I tightened it and this is the checkout drive the following morning. I'm going to order an upgraded tune from Phearable this week to account for the intercooler. We'll see how that upgrade feels on the highway. I also have an autocross event next weekend, so we'll see how the temps look now and see if any of this translates into lower track times?? I have never felt power limited, just experience limited :)
i love seeing people enjoy their cars, especially when its not like a supercar
This thing sounds rowdy 😁😁😁👍👍
It has very good balance for the street and the track. I have a wheel and tire package for the track which takes advantage of the power, suspension and brakes. Without a sticky tire, there just isn't enough traction on the street to be safe. Fun car for sure. I have 180,000 miles on it already. Great commuter car.
You can use the Ktuner to show AIT1 and AIT2.. before and after intercooler temps
With our recent weather being low 90's and humid, the intercooler is giving me great and consistent power. My LTFT has been down to -2 and -3 here and there, but power seems just fine.
Very nice
Are you an og tuner
If you are talking to me, I am not an engine tuner. I buy my tunes through Phearable. Pretty solid tunes.
what would need to be done to the tune with the intercooler by the way this is 10thgen714 from the forums
I'm on the Phearable 2.5 tune. I just ordered the revision for adding the intercooler. Waiting for a response from them on what the difference is.
@@27Worx hey boss have you heard anything back?
Phearable got back to me to say they don't detune 4th gear, and that it is the peak power gear. The data that I have collected from a run before the tune revision and after says 4th gear boost (PSI) is a couple pounds lower consistently. The pull I did from 30 to 124mph yesterday was stronger than before the revised tune. It feels much stronger than before. Traction control comes on in third gear! I just sent my graphs to Phearable and asked for data on the revision or descriptions of what they did. I'll post that when I get a response. Below is a link to a post with more explanation of my comparison runs.

Phearable just got back to me. They don't disclose what they did for revisions. I guess you'll just have to accept my word that the $99 was well worth the money. I now have to lean on traction control in 3rd gear if that tells you anything. I did a little pull this morning to 130mph in 5th gear and it scooted along with very linear acceleration. Pretty impressed with how things are going now. We'll see if it translates into lower track times this weekend.
@@27Worx nice nice ill see what im going to do in the future im on ktuner 23 psi map with flex fuel enabled it moves pretty good i also have fmic but dont know how it would get revision for that im also running the cobra with race maf
Jesus 26psi.. i dont know if its the fact im in Canada and theres something different with the canadian version or the elevation but i only hit 15psi(untuned)
There's a big difference between stock and flex fuel tunes. I used to see 16psi stock. Fun, but better with a stage 1 tune. You start breaking things on flex fuel, but worth it in my mind.
@@27Worx as long as you got headsetuds and a clutch youll be fine with flex fuel
@@atomram6890 I have a ton of mods and track my car. The added power puts a lot of stress on the car. It's not just the clutch that gets abused, it's the motor mounts, and all of the suspension and brakes as well. To use the power you need traction. With traction comes more speed, requiring better brakes and better suspension. All these higher loads go into bearings, which are not designed for this. There is a big difference between stage 1 and stage 2. If you add that much power and never use it, you will stay reliable. If you use the power, you will be modifying more and more and replacing parts more and more. It's not worth running flex fuel if you don't support the power with all of the other stuff. But, when you pull it all together, boy is it fun!
