Is that so high strung? GR Corolla is 300hp from a 1.6T
Honda claims that the L15B can't do more than 200hp without impacting reliability - I'm guessing because it was developed as a economy car motor that it was never designed to be boosted like the GR Corolla model - it was introduced in 2001 and started at 77hp in the 1.2L version and 89hp in the 1.5L version. It seems to have had quite a few issues over the years (head gasket, gas getting into the oil) unlike the K engine.

I haven't looked into the engine's longevity at all... lots of people at least right now claiming they have run uprated tunes like his one without issue.
We will see in 5 years how many of them are eating shit hahaha

The head gasket is cuz of head stud being too weak to handle detonation.
VTEC equipped accord running 87 is most susceptible.
Rods are very thin too.
L15 is not an overbuilt engine
About halfway to it... FL5 is $55k+ and hard to get
This thing is $38k-ish and probably 8-10k in mods? Skip the ugly wheels haha
If you're doing that you'll have no warranty and from the sounds of it less reliability so at that point why not get a slightly used FL5? Quite a bit more power with no messing around and better resale value should you need it.

Might as well tune the GTI and get it close to ~300 hp range ... if you even need that.
I mean you could... i find it plenty fast. any faster and you can't put the power down (at least on these shitty OEM bridgestone s007 summer tires). The problem still lies in the transmission. With the 6 speed there is just no comparison to the DSG for launches, but if you get the DSG it kinda defeats the purpose of getting a old school hot hatch.
you know, im starting to come to a realization that Vancouver now with a much bigger population and traffic jams combined with the fact that you lose your car if you go 40 over the limit, it's funner to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

Yuck that rev hang is bs. At least the hitlerbox doesn’t have that.
To get this Si to this level aren’t you a negligible distance to the type R ?

Revhang - stock. Even the FK8 has it. Tbh, revhang was evident in 8th gen civic si's as well. It's pretty common Honda thing. It's not as bad in the 11th gen civics, but clearly still evident. I'm not sure if this works in the 11th gen, but in the FK8 the revhang is gone if you turn off auto revmatch.
My friend bought a Civic Si after his FK8 got tboned. It was 42K or smt. Awful car stock lol. We used it as a track taxi for lols but it's so bad.
As someone who bought a non-M e46 and have tried to make it as worthy on track as an E46 M3... it's not worth it. No matter what mods you throw at it, you might as well have gotten the M3 (or in this case the Type R) in the first place.

Here's a reliability thread for all tuned 10th gen civics, including the 1.5L.
Ofc this thread only has data of a limited sample size - those that contribute, but nevertheless are some data points.
