FK8 Honda Civic Type R Tuned with Bolt-ons! How Much Horsepower will it Make?! Dyno Test Explained
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ม.ค. 2020
- The FK8 Honda Civic Type R has proven itself to be a beast, especially when it comes to doing performance upgrades. The 2.0L Turbocharged engine is rated stock at the crank with an impressive 320hp and 295tq. Throw in an ECU flash and you now have an additional +54 HP +87tq bringing the total crank horsepower to 374hp and 382tq! That's a huge gain in horsepower and torque! But what kind of gains can you expect when you combine ECU Tuning with bolt-on upgrades on the FK8 Honda Civic Type R?
We're going to answer that question using our Mustang AWD Dyno and flashing the VRTuned ECU Flash to a FK8 Honda Civic Type R with a Mishimoto Front Mount Intercooler, Mishimoto Air Intake and Full HKS Exhaust system!

Great video. Short, simple, to the point. Earned a new sub 👌
Thank you! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 glad you enjoyed it
Goes to show you how much power these can make, they are beasts! I'm going to be finishing mine up soon, full race build
Cant wait to see the finish product on your car great job buddy
@@speedisf FlyinGato, you should get the new turbo that's coming out. Damnit I can't remember who makes it. I'm thinking they're saying it'll allow up to 600whp. I wonder if the fuel system will have to be redone.
Joe Friday prl
@@Jtbg80 I wonder what all one would have to do to their car to make it reliable with said turbo. Hell, my warranty will be up in October. I may try a tune on mine but I'd be afraid of anything drastic.
Joe Friday fuel system is limited at 400 and reliability is gone after 400... 600 eh will need bigger turbo fuel and rods n pistons. The car also can’t rev any higher at stock
I’m thinking of getting one ASAP… but so hard to find the right color so I’m going to Cali to grab one… hoping to show videos on my mods! Love this build!
✌️
Thanks for the video and also thanks for replying to every comment!
Thank you!
Those midrange power gains! Crazy how much power the K20C is capable of, even on a stock turbo.
I'm wanting a tune for mine but it'll screw my warranty up. I got it in October of 2017 so maybe once my warranty is done...🤔

I need to take my Prius to this guy
We got those Prius covered! www.vividracing.com/index.php?keywords=prius
Yo no hablo ingles pero me gusto el video ✌🏼💯 great job amigo!!!!!
Gracias por ver!
That must good on track!! good torque curve
Car performs amazing on the track!
Loving those HKS exhaust
Us too! 🤘
Ppl are obsessed with extracting extra power from a car, but it's the entire package working in unison that make the driving experience pleasant.
That's why tuning is such a wonderful option for these vehicles. They are detuned a little bit from the factory and we unlock that power of each component to work in harmony.
Superb sales pitch 👏
The performance is in the numbers 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Dream Car!
Love the tune! Question is, what are those wheels and tire specs? TE 37 looks good on everything
I am unsure of the specifics, but if you shoot an email over to sales@vividracing . com (remove spaces) our team can get you proper sizing!
FYI the car also has a catless downpipe from UnitedSpeedRacing
Those wheels make it look so clean 💜
@Mula Mi 60k 😂 rip off
@Mula Mi I honestly hope you're joking. You got taken to the cleaners if you actually paid that much
How is the clutch holding up ?
Which model te37are those?
Sounds much better than stock too ! 👌👍😍😱
I had to pause the video during the dyno because holy fuck that paint color + wheels looks INSANE. It looks fast just sitting there.
It not only looks fast, it is fast! We agree though, thanks for watching Kam!
my dream car same spec how i want it !!! keep up the great work
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
That's amazing!
Thank you
I dont really like this shape of civic but damn she’s sitting nice. And sounds beautiful.
@vivid racing
Do you guys have much experience with this tuning related to road course use? I have the identical car which spends a lot of weekends at NASA tracks. Just a set of 18 inch slicks, otherwise stock. Thanks!
D S absolutely. When I first started this business in 2001, we use to do a lot of NASA events in AZ and CA.
I have a 20 Charger R/T and raced a CTR with bolt ons and down low it was me pulling, but up top he walked away, power vs weight, we stopped and chatted it up cool dude, these cars got my respect 🤙🏻
These vehicles are surprisingly quick for what it is!
@@vivid_racing yes they are, I ran a SI from a low roll and won by 2 cars, was really surprised how well he kept up with me, it just means I need to mod my charger lol
Race a full bolt sti or wrx and lmk how you do
@@alexpeguero38 if I can find one, only mods I have are hellcat airbox, mid pipe delete and pedal commander, but I also have 2 car seats lol and a trunk full of beach toys haha
@@antoniocapilupi1225 gotta stay safe for your family man. If you were in Tri-State region, I’d say let’s race.
Hi! I want to do some dyno pulls soon.I heard about to do step by step procedure before running on the dyno.What’s the procedure to dyno a fk8 ? Thanks !
Subbed dope car
Awesome, nice combination of color and wheel +tire!! Any info about the wheel spec
Thank you! 18 or 19” diameter by 9.5 is a deal for these vehicles with an offset of +40. For a precise fitment, shoot an email to our sales team at sales@vividracing . com
I wonder if they can tune a prius 3rd gen, the ECU are mostly locked, would there be a way around? really interesting if these guys could pump power out of a prius
Damn what wheels are those 🔥🔥
Just got my Sonic Grey 2019 Civic Type R #34184 about 2 weeks ago. Glad I don't live close to this shop(Louisiana). I doubt I could make it 6 months before I came by to swap something out or purchased a tune lol. I am impressed.
LOL thank you!
This shop is in Louisiana or are you??
Daniel Smith because i live in Louisiana and would love to see the difference between a FBO speed3 and type R
@@NewOrleansSpeed I live in Shreveport
Great job nice car great job nice videos I love my type r
Thank you!
Your welcome
Lovely car and gains!! What spec are the wheels? They look lush!!
Not sure of the specific sizing but they are Volk Racing TE37 SL wheels. One of our sales reps can help match you up a set to fit perfectly for your vehicle!
Great results.
How do the mods affect warranties & extended reliability?
My last "hot" car was a Lotus Exige S-240----razor strap-on mods neccessary-Lotus is bulletproof -as I had ZERO issues for 16K miles-( except 3 sets of tires!!!!!)
The tunes don't lock to the VIN or anything allowing a stock tune to be flashed back on without a trace. Reliability is just the same as before, just have to stay up on maintenance for ultimate efficiency.
What does an ECU flash and tune mean for the driving modes? Comfort, sport, and +R?
The driving modes will function the same as before just with more power. The sport and race modes will give you the best throttle response overall.
what rim specs and tires are these? do you know what suspension this car has currently in this video? it looks nice
So the supporting mods is just a exhaust and upgraded intercooler and tune?
What was the temperature and humidity? Am I hearing you correct saying that this car has on first run more power to wheels than the stock claims it has at the crank? Is the dyno reading high?
All I know is that cars like this and mine can make real good power per weight ratio. I'll be taking my little 4 banger to Roebling Raceway in a couple months. I already did Barber Motorsports Park, learing how to put power down to FWD on track. 👍
It has aftermarket bolts on so thats why it has some extra hp
Are you able to make any modifications on the Dyno using ktuner or handata? Or is there some completely different thing you can use to modify? Or is a dyno simply just to test the cars abilities
Our tuners use VR Tuned which is our own tuning brand. Correct, we are just using the dyno to show its abilities
hi bro 🖖 someone told me that type r that you did the tune is the one that I bought for about 1 month, how can I know if it is him?
Wow just by looking at this what would happen if I put the turbo of the type R in to a 2.0T accord 10 speed, I think it would be a lot faster because of the quick shifting 10 speed, is faster than a manual
Modern automatics will most definitely be faster than manuals. Putting a Type R turbo on the accord would be a wonderful choice for more power
WOW! This really Amazing!!
I just hope those ECU systems don't damage engine life time?
By the way where did you get those magnificent alloy rims?
ECU tuning will not damage the engine or shorted life span. The wheels on the car are Volk Racing TE37's, we can get you hooked up with a set if you'd like!
Vivid Racing how much for the set of those?
@@navid6735 more than you could afford, PAL.
@@BeanieNinjay0 no need to get so butthurt, im pretty sure you are still living in your mom's basement
@@itsgojoverfr calm yourself, he's quoting fast and furious and likely being facetious
I was willing to see something different but thanks for the video lol
I'm a dad and I wish they would make an Accord 4 door - type R.. I'm old and like the ride of an accord better hahah
Ride is definitely a priority! 😂 Thanks for watching!
The 2.0 Accord has the same engine as the type r just smaller turbo and different headers. All you gotta do is get a stage 2 ktuner and it bumps it up from 252hp to a little over 300 and making 315 lb-ft torque
Yall got a safe tune for a 2022 hyundai elantra N?
I need this on my type r
Yes, yes you do! Feel free to email us at sales@vividracing.com for all your build questions!
Can someone explaine how to have the front wheel turning on a lift at more then 40kmh without having the traction management breaking the wheel on an 2018 Accord?
I try to make wheel turn at about 80kph on a lift.
Thank you
Unfortunately, we are not sure how to allow the wheels to spin that fast while lifted in the air. Sorry
I own a 2020 type r and have a takeda 3" stainless cutback thinking intercooler and cold air intake would lime a round about of whats on this vehicle I would like those numbers because it doesn't hurt the integrity of the handling.
Adding an intercooler and intake along with a tune will significantly increase the power. Would highly suggest it
What’s that wheel and suspension set up?
Nice!
Thank you!
Very good numbers for a 4 cyl with bolt ons
We agree!
My dream car ♥
They are starting to become our favorite of the Civics! Highly recommend getting one
this my dream car to !! for now whent with 2018 si and later to this bad boy
You should dream just a little bit bigger don't you think???
How 's the torque steer?
What’s those wheel specs for the te37?
Will it pass emissions?
I am in Miami and I have an LE, I want the same set up, I do not know anywhere in Miami to install or tune it, any help?
Hey AB!
Oh shoot that would be awesome. We can get you set up!
A lot of these bolt-ons are very easy to install, but if you'd rather have someone else install them, we can get that arranged as well.

Are the te37s pressed graphite?

what ECU is in it?

@@teajae8809 Our tool does not cover it
@@vivid_racing gotcha.
Technical u could jerryrig a type r ecu in it because it is the same engine but smaller turbo
How can u run those bolt ons without a tune? Wont it mess up the car since the stock ecu wasnt tuned for those mods??
Basic bolt ones like intake and exhaust are ok and the ecu adjusts.
Amazing vid and a new subscriber I just bought a fk2 and really want to tune it plz could u Advise me my local Honda tuner said decat exhaust hybrid turbo inter cooler and a bigger intake to make gains of 450bhp and that’s the max u going to get between 450 and 465 bhp could u advise me on what else to add on please I have it booked in for August 7 thank you I would really appreciate if u could put me in the right direction

Should be perfect for the street. 👍
dannyb20 vtec But this car is not a street racing car, its a track car...🤦🏻♂️
Joey B Because every type r owner only tracks their car right?
@@zakarywin7645 😂😂right
@@joeyb2158 "perfect for the street" and "street racing" don't mean the same thing
solid numbers. However I was expecting GTi or Golf R numbers. The GTi with it's "itty-bitty" is20 with FBO is within spitting distance to an FBO CTR. And we're not talking an FBO Golf R, nor an is38 GTi. Please folks, don't get me wrong i LOVE JDM, but it's not easy to get additional HP out of this K20 motor (pulling your ecu, shipping to vivid or hondata) vs the EA888s (cobb tuning AP, APR, IE, REVO, Unitronic, etc, etc,)
Compare to this with a turbo upgrade th-cam.com/video/EH7W3oswE0c/w-d-xo.html
@@NickDiNunzio your fingers are giving me a headache with your assumptions
315bhp with bolt ons, is the US model detuned as the UK version is 320bhs at stock?
We are running our testing in hot climate due to the Arizona heat. This is also whp, not bhp. Brake horse power is what the engine puts out at the crank. Our testing is measuring what was put to the pavement
will the remap work only on +R mode and on comfort setting will have stock map so can pass vrt emission test ?
The tune is applied to all driving modes, but still retain the features of each mode. Comfort will still provide increased MPG and reduced throttle input, same as factory. If emissions is a concern, the MyGenius OBDII tool will store the factory map so you can flash back to stock at any time! If you'd like more info, feel free to reach out to tuning@vividracing.com and our experts can answer all your questions.
@@vivid_racing thankyou for your quick reply ,that was very informative ! thanks again
Aside from the ecu, what else can you add?
Intake exhaust check link in description
Amazing how
Turbocharged vehicles take well to modifications!
@@vivid_racing that's cool
Woth the time upgrade, is the motor still reliable? Or do you risk blowing it up?
Our tunes have never blown up an engine. They are efficient and make safe horsepower gains. When upgrades like a big turbo come into play is when the engine is at risk. Our tunes increase efficiency
@@vivid_racing where are you located?
wondering why modern civics got so much torque than old ones
I know its about turbo and the question is stupid someway
Some k20 were high comp motor with no torque thats need rev high to make peak power ,
but even with boost ,
it still dont got that torque, like moderns do right ?
can anyone explain
There are many variables as to why the torque curve is much better compared to older generations. Cylinder head flow plays a major role in power increase. The specific design of the head can allow more torque to be generated throughout the power band. Compression and stroke is also another factor to take into consideration.
I love this Civic R, underrated car👍🏿
Underrated is not the 2019 Type R the fastest FWD car out there now?
Cindy Sue that’s only because real race cars are made with awd not fwd. so easy to claim fastest FWD when you’re the only company attempting to set that standard. Real power comes from Rwd or AWD.

Not bad but on a dynojet they make only 295whp with full bolt ons. Full bolt on hondata tune makes 338whp. I custom tuned mine I made 394 whee torque and 374whp. That was all in the same dyno. I gained 80whp on 93 alone with full bolt ons. Still for an off the shelf map it’s a good tune so I salute you guys. Always loved your customer service. Jacob is an awesome guy.
We make it a point to maximize our tunes efficiency across the board so it will compliment any amount of modifications or even none at all. Custom tunes will maximize the potential of the particular modifications done which allows you to get so much more out of it, rather than a tune intended for all types of mods. Appreciate the love though! Glad you are enjoying your FK8
