Cool thanks for stepping through the process and showing the valves. We got a CRV and are having worse that expected MPG even though it's at 25k. So I'm just running through all the possibilities to learn and not waste money at a dealership. Confirms what others were saying that the intake doesn't need cleaning and Honda specifically designed around it. I'll have to look at the intercooler, but with more ground clearance ours is probably fine. It's nice that it's 99% the same as the civic platform so we'll be able to get high quality parts till hell freezes over. If anyone has any suggestions it's a 2020 so it should have the new firmware.

Got that bro

Hello, Did you get any under boost codes? or any codes at all?

If the system couldn't hold pressure, how come the pressure sensor didn't let you know?

Jabra realme bose sennheiser has worst battery either left or right or both buds battery conks....first one opened is fake

do you drive your civic hard? Driving it harder causes the intake valves to be warmer which also causes the carbon to burn off along as well. According to VW and Mazda its about 380 to 400° C temp on the intake valves will make the carbon burn off and not stick to the valves.

Head gasket problem brotherr

I was completely illiterate about this part came in . Thanks for making this video i have the same issue with my car it idles a lot and i have to press the gas petal to 2800rmp to get to 60mphr what can be the issue here .

I recommend a boost gauge, I installed one on my civic sport hatch and I can know my boost levels, if you had a boost gauge you would have known you had a boost leak and make diagnosis easier

Are you sure there are no leaks anymore? Since the pressure is still dropping slowly. Isn't it supposed to stay??

I hope to not ever get this problem. I have a 2018 1.5T civic EXT with 6 sp. manual tranny but I only have about 46,000 miles on it, since I don't drive it much in the winter. This helps minimize the oil dilution somewhat but they still get gas in the oil even during a hot summer!! The deal about them only having the problem is cold weather is a myth. It's just not as bad in the summer. In the summer I get up to 48mpg on the interstate trips. Mostly because of our thin Utah atmosphere. Both very hot temps of around 100F and the high elevation over 4,000 feet or more makes for thin air. So the car doesn't have much air resistance even at 80 mph!! So fuel efficiency soars! The same trip in the winter with the much denser air yields only 42 mpg at most. And in rural areas, the speed limit on interstates is 80 mph. I'm taking great care of mine because the 2018 model year they made very few EXT (mid level trim) with both the 6 speed manual shift and the dual exhaust. Mine was the only one they could find like in Utah and all the surrounding states. I had my dealer get it from another dealer and they did! They made a trade for it.

Good catch and I have seen a few go bad like that, also they will pop off during boost and come completely apart. Nothing you did as your bumper damage is pretty light inop. They should have given you new seals when you bought the OEM one.. bummer. Sometimes putting the bumper on its tricky to reset that lower IC deflector into the lower grove of the bumper, just try again :)

Let me guess. You were not on the high school cheer squad.

question: why my civic 2019 if accelerating that boost is going up its bogging down and when accelerating slowly it run fine

Nearly fell asleep.

almost buying the fake one 😢

I have the same 1.5t at 102k miles. Trying to figure out why it averages only 26mpg 😩

The filming in this video was awesome.

you over boosted a stock intercooler, lol yeah i got all 27won turbo kit , that intercooler will have heat soak car sucks with stock intercooler

easy test if you have a boost leak ,you will see a cloud of smoke 😂,i blew a hose off and you will know, stock psi is 15.7, you used hondata to turn it up to 21psi ,its crap stock intercooler

use fuel interjector cleaner and engine restorer after every oil change, lucas oil fuel injector cleaner and its called engine restorer, dump it in the oil 🛢 goes ,car run fine

if you turn off tracking control ,car takes off better , turn off the brake sensor crap

That pipe is not a charger pipe ,its called turbo inlet pipe, charge pipes are connected to your intercooler, wow 😂😢

lol, the air comes threw the intake, which is connected to the turbo inlet pipe ,wow charge pipe you called it ,lol ,look dont buy hondata an turn up your boost 6psi on a stock car 😂😢

You changed the coolant too right?

My 2002 accord gets 33 mpg lol

Not all boxes are the same in particular when another country is involved. That doesnt mean they arent really a jabra. Bought 3 pairs from Amazon and they were all a solid color like the black ones. They are perfect. My husband is picky and hes in love with the new pair. I understand the suspicion, but im not convinced.

how much was the intercooler? Thanks.

This is the worse Honda engine ever made. The oil dilution problem is a significant fault by Honda.

Is the build up of deposits from the outside air like fumes from traffic?

i bought these, luckily I got a refund before they even Arrived

Horrible cars hondas are trash don’t buy

I only bought the right because I lost it. The one I bought to replace it didn't look like the original and, it would not pair.

Quick question: did you still could hit full boost on the dashboard meeter when you had the leak?

I have a question do they sound the same

Just got my fake pair and they just sound good 🤣🙌

Do you have problems with the oil dilution issues i keep hearing about??

As long as it stays paired and the sound in THE SAME, I'll buy it

Pcv valve is a big maintenance item. Year late dollar short I guess.

These cars were made in China!!! I was shocked when I saw the assembly line there of these cars. I rented one made in China and it threw a rod at 60k! I believe Japan moved them back. Not positive but that's what Japan said during COVID.

Don't you have to cap the pipe before throttle body? What if the air flows into the cylinder and escape to the exhaust?

I've owned different Honda's for over 25 years. The 1.5L engine is hit or miss. Carbon build up appears to be the biggest issue. I just ordered my 2023 Honda. Had to go with the 2.0L. It's not a speed king, but it's bullet proof.

Bad worn out sparkplugs

i like your leak test procedure, but i would rather use a vacuum pump, they are quite inexpensive and less prone to damage something on the intake system. great video and thank you for sharing.

Great video! Thanks for making this!

can you charge the original ones in the fake case? i think my case broke and i cant find any replacement case..

Did you clean the intake valves while you were in there? With like crc intake valve cleaner?

Ive been getting 39mpg sometimes mid 40's depending on how I drive.

10:34 the box purchase from Amazon has these a additional sleeves which ads thickness in all dimensions. But at the beginning of the when he compared the boxes he says the box on the left(which is slimmer) is from Amazon

My FK7 1.5T CVT 2019. uses 9.2L/100km in the city. On paper it should be 8.1. It has 60K kilometers.
