I live in Virginia, so probably like your state, we can't just rely on the tuner blocking the errors cause it's really just shutting off a pair of sensors that the emissions inspector looks for. If those aren't reporting, you automatically fail.
Great video! Thanks for the recommendations! I follow you and MAPerformance. One of them said they're called M-A-Performance, not MAP Performance. I chuckled everytime I hear you say MAP Performance
hi chris long time no see. sorry as i got a 2022 honda ruckus lol so i stop doing mobs to my civic, anyway careful by removing the catalyst as you wont pass the emission test, see ya bud :)
ik this is a late comment but do you think its worth modding my civic lx, ik its slower and less prepped for speed but its the only one i got and the only one im getting for a while. I have a 2018 hatchback btw
I mean do whatever you want. It’s your car, have fun with it. With that being said, do not expect any serious power gains on a 2.0L NA LX. If you’re considering putting enough money for decent mods, just buy yourself an Si
what intake should i get if im trying to keep my car to live long. its my daily and i plan to keep it for the long run so i want to know which is safest before buying
I did the PRL cold air and got the Injen HydroShield Water Repellant Pre-Filter for some extra security, the biggest thing is to simply not drive through standing water, the filter on the PRL sits in front of the tire on the driverside, so the wheel well blocks the tire from slinging water on it and the bumper surrounds the other sides, honestly I don't see how water could get to it unless you drove through water deep enough to get the filter submerged or blasted the area with a pressure water at just the right angle. I've had it on the car about 5 months now, which is several thousand miles and even a few pretty good rain storms at this point.
Why dont you go with DEREK ROBINSON, I'm from Trinidad in the caribbean and he really looked at the KNOCK Count on 91 Octaine. 10th GEN VTi-s CVT no problems so far.
Hi Questions please. You said if from canada i have to relocate my windshield washer reservoir if installing prl cold air intake.. May i know whats the reason ? . And where to relocate it.
Do you get a rattle noise with the w1 turbo like anything before 3000k rpm? Sounds like either the cotter pin or the waste gate arm because the arm is loose regardless.
Civics use CVT autos, they don't have clutches but rather torque converter. And for these cars , the cvt civics u don't wanna push more than around 260-270 wheel torque...so for the cvt civic , get intake, exhaust and Ktuner with phearable 1.5 tune for non si and thats about it for power. U can also get a intercooler and a cvt oil cooler to support ur power mods better and for better consistency
Yes you can, before u get a bigger turbo make sure to go get a cvt cooler. 2step performance has one. Heat is ur cvts biggest enemy. And make sure you don’t drag race from a dig. Roll races are way safer. Phearable is the smoothest and safest non custom tune for our cvts (I have a civic touring)

I did the PRL cold air intake with street maf on my daily 2016 EX-T (with the CVT), definitely more of a sound change then anything else, maybe there is a little more power but not much, but now that winter is over i'm noticing something, i've gotten back the fuel mileage I had before I did my 19" wheels, so I gained like 1-1.5 MPG. This has also convinced me of something, these cars should have come from the factory with a block heater, this little 1.5 takes forever to warm up when it's near freezing outside and that is massively killing it's fuel mileage, like 10% less fuel economy in the winter (note these are calculated tank MPG averages based on miles driven divided by gallons to refill at the same pump at the same gas station, not the dash calculated that I find to be anywhere from 1-3 MPG higher). i'd like to get a little more performance out of the car but don't wanna do a tune because all the tunes require premium fuel and this is a daily and I don't wanna cost myself 100's more in annual fuel costs, kinda defeats the purpose of buying a civic to daily IMHO.

I personally love my aFe catted Downpipe because it throws no CELs :) my strict emissions state passed it like stock
That’s great to know thanks for the info!
What state do you live in ? I live in communist California….Thanks for the info!!

Great video Chris! I was surprised you didn’t throw E85 into your bonus round.
I thought about it but as I’m from Canada e85 is super tough to get so I decided to keep it out for now but it’s definitely a great choice
@@ChrisLowpes Completely understand! I have a hard time finding it myself here in California
@@nothanks9795 yea it sucks, if it was readily available here I’d definitely be using it!
Isn't meth injection easier to do when E85 isnt as easy to get ?

Very first mod anyone should make is a upgraded intercooler. Without it, the rest are nothing .
I’m new to cars and everything but can these performance mods work on a 2022 10th gen
ik this is a late comment but do you think its worth modding my civic lx, ik its slower and less prepped for speed but its the only one i got and the only one im getting for a while. I have a 2018 hatchback btw

Yea that’s probably what I’m going to do!
Hi Questions please. You said if from canada i have to relocate my windshield washer reservoir if installing prl cold air intake.. May i know whats the reason ? . And where to relocate it.
Canada spec civics got a different coolant res for some reason, so it has to be moved because it blocks the path of the intake.
Do you get a rattle noise with the w1 turbo like anything before 3000k rpm? Sounds like either the cotter pin or the waste gate arm because the arm is loose regardless.
Nothing that I’ve noticed yet but I’ll definitely keep an ear out!
does the turbo work on the 2018 civic ex?
If I add all these top 5 mods into an automatic, do I need to switch the clutch?
Civics use CVT autos, they don't have clutches but rather torque converter. And for these cars , the cvt civics u don't wanna push more than around 260-270 wheel torque...so for the cvt civic , get intake, exhaust and Ktuner with phearable 1.5 tune for non si and thats about it for power. U can also get a intercooler and a cvt oil cooler to support ur power mods better and for better consistency
How much did all those mods run you cash wise?
2 months of zipped lips on the cost lol
I hope you got a new cluch 🤔 otherwise what the purpose of it?
I could do these mods with a CVT
Yes you can, before u get a bigger turbo make sure to go get a cvt cooler. 2step performance has one. Heat is ur cvts biggest enemy. And make sure you don’t drag race from a dig. Roll races are way safer. Phearable is the smoothest and safest non custom tune for our cvts (I have a civic touring)
@@donovansimison9336 awesome, I really appreciate it
What do you mean off the map ? When talking about k tuner
I meant to say “off the shelf maps”, meaning what ktuner provides stock instead of a personal professional tune
I was planning to get either a PRL short ram or full cold air but it rains so much where I live I’m leaning towards a short ram
You could always get a CAI and do a hydro shield but if you want to be extremely safe go with a short ram. 27won makes a great kit also
Short ram is terrible bc of heat soak. If you are worried about water get an oil catch can.
I want down pipes but I don’t want to make my car any louder than stock can someone help please 😂
I put a K&N CAI into my 10th gen civic and all I got was a major vacuum leak and a check engine loght
Yea honestly the PRL/27won kits are so much better that’s why I recommend them to everyone
you can’t cheap out with car parts bro it’s the struggle saving for the expensive parts but you’ll get a much better outcome
