@@lui.racing super cool. Yeah I need to work on getting my amp license before I get out. My step dad was powertrain for f15 and f16s in the navy. One of those acft can’t remember which one.
Hi Luis. Just want to say thanks for all the Si videos you’ve made. I’m patiently awaiting my intercooler with piping. I’m going to be following your tutorial for diy. Did you unhook your battery while swapping the intercooler, and did you jack up both sides with floor jacks?
Hey man, thanks for the support 🙌 It’s always recommended to disconnect the battery, however, I don’t remember if I did or not lol. It’s probably best you jacks up both sides just to be on the safe side
@@lui.racing thanks for the information. By any chance, do you still have the prl downpipe you need to sell? If so, I’m located in ft worth and will buy it.
Bro this video helped so much. I need to hear the part that went silent tho. 😮 my outlet has a clear hole in it. Looks like yours has a hex bolt of some sort. I didn’t get that. What do I do 😭 it’s leaking air and misfiring my cylinders now. Help 😅
The high volume outlet? Yeah that’s for meth injection if you wanted to use it, if you’re not using meth injection then it needs to be plugged back up.
Nice step by step, thanks for posting! I wonder how much more lag is increased with the larger intercooler and end tank? I know prl left the hot side the same size to help with turbo spool... I’m sure some of that can be tuned out but I really enjoy boost coming in at around 1900-2000 rpm. Keep us updated and definitely awaiting that HV intake..
I actually have less lag with this set up. I went driving immediately after installing it and throttle response increased. Lol not sure how much of that is in my head but the loss in spool shouldn’t be dramatic. Thanks for the support!
I have added the intercooler, downpipe, and front pipe all with the help of your videos. I can't thank you enough. Did you have to reset your ECU after adding the mods?
No. For some reason all of my warning lights came on after adding the mods. Can't figure out why. I didn't know if it was because the system needs to relearn how to operate with the new equipment. Everything I've read says it could be a million different things. Just didn't know if you had an emissions code pop up that you may have cleared.
@@savagedoggirl3212 as long as the car is running fine I’m most certain it’ll all go back to normal. Lol you’re not the first person to ask nor the last. Anytime you disconnect the battery this will happen
I’ve put all these mods on without a custom tune. Only tune I have is a stock Hondata flex fuel tune but it was made for a stock honda with flex fuel kit not all the bolt ons that I have. All these mods can be done without a tune UNLESS you get a Race MAF for the intake then you need a tune. If you don’t want a tune make sure you always go for the street version. I’ve been running different mods on my car for months without a custom tune and everything is fine. It is always recommended to get a tune when you’ve modded your car a good bit to get the most out of the mods
Hey! I haven’t updated the brakes because there isn’t a dedicated kit for the 11th gens that I want to install on my car. There will be one soon though, so stay tuned
@@lui.racing maybe a 6pot Spoon would be lovely or Endless maybe. Anyway, I can't wait for PRL intake kit to be available here in Malaysia. I had purchased PRL IC as well.
@luiproductions Your videos are awesome. Because of it, I ended up getting the IC and high volume intake upgrade using ur code from PRL. I installed everything on the car today and drove around for 15 mins fine. Once I turned the car on again, all sorts of warning lights came on. When the car is idling and I give it gas, as the rpm is coming back down, the car struggles to keep the engine running.. any ideas? Checked all pipes and they are kn tight. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thnx
Make sure all seals and gaskets are installed properly, all vacuum lines are installed and not linked or torn. Other than that you might have to call PRL and have them help you troubleshoot
@@yeonkim6271 no I didn’t have any issues, I had all the lights come on because I disconnected the battery, but after driving around and turning the car on and off a few times they all go away and everything is initialized and that’s normal for anyone who disconnects the battery, but your car should still run fine . My car ran fine after and still runs fine now.
Honestly man, you’d have to ask you’re dealership. Im going to say that if you mod your engine and something goes wrong with it then the dealership is going to say it’s your fault and won’t do any warranty work on your car. Everything else would be covered still, such as electronics and whatever extra stuff you got. Just not replacement of your engine and it’s components of you mod it
@@Allwayskind6 yeah, sorry about that. RUclips gave me a copyright strike and it tried removing the music but it took out some of my voice too 🙄 it’s obnoxious, I hope the video still helps you out
@@lui.racing thanks man i personally like the cobra cai the sounds are unmatched. Also do you know if ktuner supports the race maf on any of the 11th gen base maps?
Naturally Aspirated = No Turbo. No Turbo = no intercooler. You can do an cold air intake and change the intake manifold with a bigger throttle body. That will give you some powaaa
I'm planning on buying a 11th gen civic in the future so these videos really help a lot, keep going bro!
I appreciate the support my dude! 🙌
Bags and a sharpie and vanilla tags are the best for tagging parts. Do it all the time in aviation maintenance
Yes sir. Lol when I was in we called them MAF bags or FOD bags.

Awesome! I’m glad I could help. And do you mean tune? I ran all my mods with just a regular tune from Hondata and eventually Ktuner

@@savagedoggirl3212 just drive around and turn the car in and off a few times. Everything will go back to normal

Can you add all those mods without tuning? Because I just bought a SI and I want to know before I put those mods.
I’ve put all these mods on without a custom tune. Only tune I have is a stock Hondata flex fuel tune but it was made for a stock honda with flex fuel kit not all the bolt ons that I have.

I wonder if the prl hvi wont rub against?
What size is the plastic retainer/rivet for a 2022 civic Si? The link comes in an assortment but I just want 1 size
i imagine installation on the 23 integra should be the same for the most part right?
I would imagine so, but can’t confirm that
Can you install it on a sport
Sport doesn’t have a turbo so no need for an intercooler and TBH sports arent cars for modding. You can make it pretty but you cant make it go fast
Hi bro, mind asking why did u mod the IC and intake 1st, instead of the braking system maybe brembo etc, share your thought thanks
Hey! I haven’t updated the brakes because there isn’t a dedicated kit for the 11th gens that I want to install on my car. There will be one soon though, so stay tuned

Also, since you mentioned you did the intake, make sure the MAF sensor is installed properly and that it wasn’t damaged
@Lui Productions thanks. I made sure not to damage the MAF sensor and checked all seals are tight.. can't figure it out. So frustrating
@Lui Productions so u didn't have any issues after u installed all prl parts? No warning lights or anything?

is it better to get the piping as well or will the intercooler itself be enough to gain some hspwr
Intercooler Alone will add plenty of benefits. You could always upgrade to the piping in the future.
@@lui.racing fosho! thanks for replying!
@@_takeheart anytime!
I keep coming back to those basics videos because I STILL don't know how to properly use the software. I'm gonna cry
Nice video! Beautiful car👍
Thanks dude!!
hey bro just wondering how long did this take you wanna give someone an estimate
Depends, I’ve done this a lot, I can get it done in an hour maybe hour and a half
So is this also good on the sport would u recommend it
Yes, I recommend this for all turbo Hondas.
Does this void the warranty from the factory ?
Honestly man, you’d have to ask you’re dealership.

Will the prl cobra cai fit with the new charge piping?
PRL said there was concerns for rubbing but this guy in the forums said his was fine
@@lui.racing thanks man i personally like the cobra cai the sounds are unmatched. Also do you know if ktuner supports the race maf on any of the 11th gen base maps?
@@MrShowboy1 anytime, if you look up Two Step Performace, they sell a tune for the Race MAF
Ur car tuned?
I thought PRL on the intercooler was supposed to be on the drivers side?
Can I install it on NA 11th gen civic?
No sir, Intercooler are for forced induction engines
Naturally Aspirated = No Turbo. No Turbo = no intercooler. You can do an cold air intake and change the intake manifold with a bigger throttle body. That will give you some powaaa
Is it beneficial to wrap the piping in gold tape as well?
I don’t think it would provide much benefit.
I put some gold tape underneath the inner pipe of the turbo and that made a good difference
