@Mike_Levy Trust me brother, The fart cannon will stay off my ride lol
You are right, The weight difference is a big deal, But the way a domestic perfoms as opposed to a import is like night and day. Honda has always been known for it's high reving engines, Being able to run at 6K rpms is a definate advantage, Getting the car up to 6K is the challenge, So we have great top end speed, We have to couple that with great low end to make it the complete package. Basically getting the bypass tune will make that low end come alive.
Diablo can make that low end wake up, The tune would smooth the engine out, That is a huge plus in itself, A 10HP gain on top of that is just icing on the cake, And it will allow us to get what we are supposed to get out of a cai and exhaust mod.

Re: 2012 honda civic r18
Those kits make me sick. Domestic owners have to spend $6500 for a turbo kit (German owners even more. Was looking at a S/C kit for an Audi A8 and its $13,000!!) and the Civic gets one for $800.

Re: 2012 honda civic r18
I'm thinking about parts together supercharger. The price should be lower I don't know yet. I gonna start do some research.
Re: 2012 honda civic r18
Hey guys, I have a question for anyone that has used a diablo tuner.
I know hondata's flashpro is specific for each transmission; would it be the same if diablo were to develop a tuner for the civic?
I, myself drive a five speed manual, but I'm well aware that most civic owners drive automatics.
Btw, if we had a really legit shot at this tuner I'd put my name on a list to pledge money for it in advance, like we did for FP.
Just a side note; that's how serious I am.

Tuners work on both transmissions.

The Jackson Racing S/C is way over priced IMO.
We can get a Turbo kit pretty inexpensive. I don't wanna go FI though.
I would much rather have a Diablo tuner coupled with a cai , Throttle body and exhaust, No fart boomer Mike_Levy lol
I think the Flowmaster 60 is very tame, With a down pipe and straight tail, It would breath nice.
It all begins with getting the Diablo tuner, Without it, I am not doing anything to my R18, Come on Diablo, Bring it!!!
I second that from the above post. I would go ahead and pay Diablo money upfront, That is just how much i want it, And how good a Diablo tune is.
Re: 2012 honda civic r18
What would you like to fall in your lap? If we know that, We may can make that happen. We are the real deal, We want this tuner more than you would believe, We are comitted to make it happen, The money is not a problem. I for one will also post and advertise DiabloSport, On my car as well.mikel wrote:hang on there....civic might be one of the largest markets in the world...but, its not the direction we have been looking for sure.06MonteSS wrote:and there is not enough of a market/interest for it to justify the cost either...
Never know though, if something were to fall into our lap it might make sense to do something here.
I started the campain for DiabloSport based on my expierences using your product and the results i got running with the Diablo tuner, I know there is a nice big market for DiabloSport with Honda, The civic and civic si would probably carry you a very nice income, Honda Fit owners would swarm to Diablo for this as well, The accord coupe owners would flock over here as well no doubt.
