Yeah it has only 205 hp the si lol, it may compete pretty well with the GTI and focus st

It also looks pretty bad. The GTI looks the best in black imo.
Jack Lewis
Yes they did.
>1.5L turbo
WTF were they thinking?
The L-series engine has no aftermarket support.
What they SHOULD'VE done is detune the Civic Type R's 2.0L Turbo to about 250 HP. The K-series already has aftermarket support and companies wouldn't bee so leery of supporting the engine.
Aftermarket support has always been a selling point for previous SI cars.

just a tune and its at 250 crank bud

>just crank it to 250
I don't think you realize what you're saying. The Chevy Cruze and Sonic scene had a hard time getting more than 200 HP from the 1.4L Turbo until aftermarket forged internals came about. I'm gonna say that the L15 Turbo is about at the limit of what its components can handle at the moment.

And im at least grateful that they gave it the larger turbo not from the base civic. these should be around 300whp/340ft.lbs with bolt ons and a tune

And it still will be. The Civic Type-R is expensive, there will be a lot of Si owners - 25k is the sweet that targets both mildly successful ricers and desperate kids that will get leases and loans they can't afford just to drive a sports cars.
You better believe there will be tunes and shit galore for this car.
Jaxon Jones
can you not read a fucking graph. 22owhp is about 250 after drivetrain losses. this was a simple 93octane tune. this isnt a cheppy sonic i4

I'll believe it when I see it. The Honda L-series has been around for well over a decade and aftermarket support is virtually nonexistent. A turbo version really isn't going to change that.
