Authentic Tuning
It really doesn't feel that wild especially if you are not is sport mode. It feels more like a auto cross or track car tune. It holds you in the best power band for the speed in turns and you don't really have to worry about shifting unless you want to be just a hair faster. Now in the 1/4 I still have to paddle shift every gear.
All I have had this one for a while. Just saying it has the same settings as the one I use. Besides I have the h-matic transmission also.
Pressure 2 AWD I had all four tires chirp on shift heavy throttle.
If you don't mind me asking, I have 3 quick questions
This is the best way to describe it. Soft is bubbles and pops hard is pops and bangs
Well I kind of have a junk yard car it's got a little bit of everything. The greatest majority is BMS and lozic. I am full bolt on bms intakes, bms occ, jb4, hks plugs, mishimoto intercooler, hfc downpipes, stillen cat back, and cpi. I only got the 1.5 bar tune no crackle and pop or flames. With cpi I just use pump gas e85 and 93 mix. I am trying to change the emixture a little on each fill up to see how it acts. I can't say I have found a clear stand out yet. But that setup comes with major draw backs such as weather dropping below about 70 degf if I'm running a strong emix the hpfp will crash. Korea doesn't use ethanol so the tune can act a little wild on its own at time with it. I have not ran meth with it he did tell me it was setup to be compatible with wmi already. Also always knowing where a e85 pump is sucks and a big hit in mpg. I never really pushed the oem ecu much I did do a strait race fuel map5 vs lozic base tune and I can tell the lozic tune was faster. Because of my ethanol content I have to use the jb4 fuel wires at all times to try to keep afr adjusted right. It hasn't been a walk in the park I have ran into alot of problems most are probably self inflicted such as down pipes makes it overboost and the ethanol. I never sent it back for a re flash it takes about a month or so on a turn around for 1 adjustment. I also have one of the first ecu in the states I would think it probably has had some adjustments made now. 1.5 bar doesn't run on 93 by its self from what I seen it requires meth or cpi. Everything I went WOT I was pulling up to 10 deg retard on ign 2-6. I am having the stall in 1st gear almost every time just at the drag strip. Could be user error or just something tiny I have to figure out. Never have a problem on the street with that. It also went through a spell for a few days and sometimes still tries to completely kill the car after a 1/4 pull when you let off completely. It has taken me up to about 5 mins to get the car started the log showed it kept timing advance way to high and stuck at idle is what kills it and doesn't let it start. But all that being said most of the time it's pretty good and it's very fast I have ran 10s in the 1/4 6 times now and went sub 3 sec 0-60 about 5 times. But the more people that get the tune and work together the faster it can all get ironed out.If you don't mind me asking, I have 3 quick questions
1. What's your mods list
2. How many bar tune did you get and what fuel you use.
3. What is your honest opinion in a comparison of the tune vs the jb4 on whatever map you ran best on? (pros cons to either)
Thanks for sharing with us. We all appreciate it.
Sport Catalyst probably means a HFC 200 cell. I would follow up and ask that specifically to get confirm. Primaries come with this in many cases. Obviously, in this case would have to have secondaries with no cats I’m guessing.
Good video. Hard=1996 lightly modded Civic. Stay away from the hard ones, gents!
I have read somewhere in the threads (and saw from a pic) that there are sensors now on the secondaries (2022 only). I have a 2019 and had no sensors on the secondaries on my model.
I have 2022 no sensors on secondary. I have ultimate performance downpipes combo.
how do you like that combo?

On my 2022 with stock exhaust it's perfect to me. 0 drone and I mean 0 like a sleeper till you hit it. more motor sound than exhaust but the exhaust does get loud when your on it. Big difference in power and torque. Install took 2.5 hrs but I had a Kia master tech do it. No check engine light. Runs perfect. People say my car sounds like a 488 lol. Idk about that but it sounds nice.
Here's a clip on me in my garage at work. Couldn't hit it too hard but you'll get the idea.
