Can the Civic be tuned? How much torque can it handle?
1 Answers
The Civic can be tuned, and the torque it can handle should not exceed 300 horsepower. Introduction to the Civic: The Civic has great modification potential, with many aftermarket parts available. Minor modifications are generally fine, and a Stage 1 tune is just a small test. After three months, you might feel it's not enough and consider upgrading to Stage 2. Torque capacity of the Civic: The CVT transmission in the Civic has a limited torque capacity, ideally not exceeding 300 horsepower. If the horsepower increase from a Stage 1 tune is too high, it may negatively impact the transmission's lifespan. Additionally, after ECU tuning, the vehicle's fuel quality requirements will increase. For example, if you previously used 92-octane gasoline, you may need to switch to 95-octane after tuning.
