    Hi. You dont know me, im just a spectator of Touge Battle but planning to join soon with my Civic FC medyo kulang pa lng sa driving skills. But the car almost ready na for track with the above mods. Ex Mazda3 user and OrangevirusTuned group but sold it na then bought new Civic FC last 2017 November. Try my car sa track next time ibang iba from stock form. Tried it several times sa BRC since im from South.

    Touge Battle is open to all - don't feel shy to join. Yesterday there were quite a lot of first-timers who participated. Winning is just a lucky by-product, the primary intent is to enjoy your car and quench your need for speed in a safe and controlled environment.

    And besides, the PS4s that you have already give you several seconds worth of advantage so you can be competitive. Hope to see you in the next Touge Battle - it feels lonely being the only FC in the sea of EKs and Mazda 3s. [emoji23]

    Btw, why'd you sell the Mazda 3 for a Civic?

    Thank you!!

    install couple of racing stickers or sponsorship stickers or flame stickers.😁

    You want a sports car, buy one.
    Nothing personal.

    Slap an aftermarket turbo but why would you do that when you can buy one stock with a turbo already.

    If you don’t want to buy a turbo, you can lessen its weight. Maybe take out the rear seats, use carbon fiber here and there but still you may not reach the performance of the 1.5L turbo model.

    You can budget 250-300k for a turbo upgrade. Depende na lang sa parts na ikakabit mo like blow off valve, you can go china na 1.5k or orig Tial brand for 15k. China intercooler at 9k vs orig branded for 30k. Same with turbos, you can get garrett at 60k or china turbo for 15k. Starting to see the trend na?

    A good shop with lots of turbo charging experience will go a long way, they will guide you which part to cheap out and play with your budget. Marami kasi dyan shop nagmamarunong pero clueless naman pala, naka pag turbo lang ng isang oto or naka basa lang ng article sa magazine eh branded expert/specialist/tuner na. LOL.

    Anyway, R18 engines can easily and reliably hit 230whp, if same lang CVT ng 1.8 and RS then your still safe. Go 250whp+++ and you need to upgrade pistons and rods and transmission! LOL.


    Good luck!

    Peak torque is more of a concern when matching trannies. Unless of course, you get a much more robust tranny or convert it to MT.

    For all its worth, spending that much while throwing out your car’s warranty is a big risk. Unless of course, you have money to burn on such projects.

    Here’s my mods for 2017 Civic FC:
    Injen Cold Air Intake c/o JDM south
    YS bolt-on headers c/o Transtech
    HKS bolt-on full exhaust HKS c/o Automovement
    TBS Throttle Body Spacer c/o MY
    Eibach lowering spring c/o Transtech
    CF hood for lightweight c/o Zworks
    17” rota spoon copy mags for lightweight
    Michelin Pilot Sports4 215/45/17 for track
    ECU reflashed c/o NSRtuned
    After tune with mods 132WHP

    I beat almost every street car in SLEX, Skyway, NLEX and can do 225kph.

    Goodluck modding!

    No ABS at No Airbags pa ang SIR. Sa safety aspect pa lang talo ka na. My vote goes to FD.

    The SiR is extremely overpriced for a car that is almost 20 years old. And good luck finding one stock. It’s one of the most modified cars in PH.

    Get a City instead if fuel efficiency is a priority.

    A Civic FD 2.0L MT will offer a better package overall compared to the Civic EK SiR. The K20 engine offers a good balance of performance in both daily driving rpm and on high engine revs.

    Considering the FD is also a decade old..

    Just get the FD if may budget ka naman sa gas and may proper parking space ka.

    Since first car mo to, why not get a City or Vios if fuel consumption is a concern?
    So malakas po talaga sa gas yung fd?

    Relative naman yung malakas sa gas.

    My 1.8 FC averages 9.5km/l and natitipiran ako dun.

    The FD might average lower than that, but still okay lang for me.

    Kung concern mo nga ang fuel consumption, better get a subcompact na lang.

    But one this is for sure, cross out the SIR. It's too old, time to move on hehe.

    Here’s a tip: If you’re seeking performance, you don’t aim for fuel efficiency. A powerful engine is not usually fuel efficient. Also, peak power is available at the top of the rev range. High rpms does nor equate to fuel efficiency.

    Not exactly true. My Fiesta Ecoboost 1.0L turbo is not as efficient as Honda’s 1.5L NA engine. It is more like 8 km/L on normal city driving routes, even worse with BGC or Makati CBD traffic.

    A fellow car enthusiast drives a Focus 1.5L Ecoboost and he is getting 6-7 km/L. Good enough for an engine rated 180hp/240Nm but that FC is already midsize car or CUV range.
