Mk10 Honda civic sport 1.5t vs civic si 1.5t
Discussion
Hi all. Over in the US Honda have released an SI model of the civic. Unfortunately in the UK and Europe it doesn't look like we will be lucky enough to get this model.
So what would need to be done to the regular sport to make this the same as the SI?
The SI runs 205bhp or ps (not certain) and 192 lb/ft as opposed the the sports 182 and 177 lb/ft. Is this difference just tuning or do we know if there is more to it like uprated clutch and bigger turbo etc.
I think I have seen that it has bigger brakes and possibly slightly more performance oriented suspension but I can't remember where I saw that. It might have been a YouTube review.

Although I have seen the same claim from a tuning box, that seems like one hell of a big jump. Most maps I have seen advertised go to 220 HP or bhp and 221 lbft which seems more realistic.
240 makes me think it will go bang very quickly. I have never used a box and don't see myself using one anytime soon. I suppose it depends on how it connects as to whether it is like putting a generic map on the car. If it connects via odb port then it's virtually a flashed/generic map. The thing is I can get custom maps at around £375 from reputable tuners which I trust more.
The other thing is I don't even own one, just interested to know. I might think about getting one some day. It would be interesting to know how reliable tuned versions are? How long the standard clutch lasts etc. No idea what that is rated at for max lb/ft.
