I don't know what's sadder...the motor blowing or you filming in vertical...
neither, it's definitely the music that makes me want to cry...
“Conservative tune, 350 to the wheels” lol
out of a boosted 1.5L honda fit economy car engine XD
That is what the type R make lol
@@pavel1809 yeah but the type R has a 2.0L K20 engine, this is a powerful performance engine...not a boosted fit motor.
@@TechWizMaster type R is a k series but its an FK8
@@baggedtuned8569 no i mean the engine code...the Typr R has a K20C1 powerplant which is miles better than the L15 in the other models.
350hp conservative tune?? did I hear that right? Conservative would have been 250hp./260 lbft
360 to the wheels on a stock 1.5L (just Bolton) is insane. What did you expect? A
Still a beastly number.
Would have been cheaper to just buy a Type R off the bat lol JK
Kent Livingston hahahahahahaha!
Type r rods are just as shitty.
It's probably more fun gapping people in an si though because they don't expect it
@@k20a2toofast4u Don't lie to people dude.
@@drewh22 you know this is 2 years ago right?? And no need to lie, type r pistons are literally $38 from Honda, thats quality?
Damn, i guess that little 1.5 engine can't take all those modifications. Good luck brother, I know you'll bounce back
Damn dude - I am really sorry this happened. It makes me think twice when starting to mod my car. Glad you knew the limits and knew what you were doing and knew that this was a big risk you were taking. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next! Glad the Si is NOT dead!
I still don't understand why people decide to push the limits of stock motors.. but hey it's your car in the end.
Pushing the limits of a stock motor is a good point for those who cannot afford to build one. Of course a built motor is way way better. But not everyone has the money to build one. So they push the stock one. If someone (video) blows the motor then you know not to go to say 350hp on it. Stay at 300. That's a feat for this tiny engine. Now of you have money and you just wanna know then cool. You're going into it knowing you're going to blow it and buy a new one. It's just a good starting point.
It sucks on what happened and it's a learning experience. But how many people can say they pushed a stock motor to over 350hp? Or daring enough to do it? Imagine it was just rods. What if someone else gets new rods and can push the motor even further? Still a hell of a lot less than a built one
@@Aloneinthedarkso Well, I can but that's because I own the king of 4cyl cars -- EVO
Dude you had me at 300 hp and two on stock Honda motor man. Most hondas stock are pretty good at 170 to 250 but outside of those numbers on a turbo 1.5 I am sure even 280 hp and 300 hp would given you long life. You were already at like 450 to 500 plus man what were you expecting?? Hey man this kind of thing will teach you that fast and reliable ain't cheap
Just wanted to say thanks for posting, I know it’s not what all want to see but needed for the community. Sorry for your loss but I know you’ll be back soon. Can’t wait to see what’s next. -JaySi.671
The people who get the first iteration of anything will be the guinea pigs for the company and other modders. Thanks for the sacrifice, I feel your pain.
That's why I live my life by the code, "never buy first gen."
Yeah... Could told you that. 300 whp seems to be the limit for this block on stock internals if you want any kind of reliability. I wouldn't dare push those kinda numbers on stock internals. I stopped at 300 with mine and ordered new rods and soon gonna get valves and stronger springs to handle the extra boost. The L15 is a solid motor to begin with but at the end of the day it was designed with tolerances just like any other block and it sucks when stuff like this happens but kids nowadays don't read up when modding. They just slap on bolt-ons and push it to the limit. I can't tell you how many times I've seen stuff like this on the track over the years. It's a tough lesson to learn but when you get it right finally, the results are rewarding. Good luck with the new build and my fellow 10th gen owners take note, if you're gonna push over 350whp make sure you are ready to replace and reinforce: Pistons, rods, valves, springs and head studs. If you think you're gonna try to push 400-500 expect to need a stronger balanced crank and possibly have to sleeve your cylinder walls of they even can with this block. Good luck!
o0Mr Robot0o . Thanks! Yes the motor is getting fully built at the moment with RunBC Rods and Valve Springs, JE Pistons, and Sleeves by Darton Sleeves.
PhongVLG It’s gonna be a solid build but that can’t be cheap. I’m going to guess around 5-10k for parts, labor and new block
350 out of that car must have been insane! My EcoBoost feels quick with 300whp. 50 more HP and you’re 400 pounds lighter. Sadly that’s part of the game with these boosted 4 bangers... I’ve been running 26 psi for 3 years... hopefully she doesn’t pop 😂
What did you think was gonna happen putting so much stress on a small stock motor
Bobby Bob there’s many strong small blocks... evo
True, but the civic wasn’t meant to handle 350 hp on stock internals
@@thecarfinatic8074 the old one was the k24 can handle torque this new motor is weak..
Itachlazcano21 ur comparing a car that handles 600 stock block to 350 stock block
He's right. Nothing wrong with this engine but nobody should've expected it to be like a K series. You're gonna take a major hit in reliability going anywhere over 250hp unless you beef up the internals.
"Now me and the mad mechanic gotta replace the motor that you blew..."
Omg i feel like im watching the end scene from halo. So dramatic
All these people hating on the L15B7 haven't done their research. The motor can make 400 hp safely, you just gotta make sure you aren't making 364 lb-ft of torque at 4500 RPM...
good joke. No remplacement for displacement. Sure u can make a 500 hp K20 or a 600 hp k24. I just dont know why people invest 7-8-9K into the 1.5T. Instead buy a type r
@@davidtheroux5089 9k in power mods into the 1.5t Si will conservatively put you at around 320wtq/320whp, so more than a stock Type R, and still costing less than a Type R at MSRP. And that's only IF you're able to get the type R at MSRP. Many more dealers are selling Type R's at MSRP now, but its still not uncommon to have to deal with +5 grand in ADM.
Additionally, many people are turned off by the Type R's aesthetic. Also, there isn't as much after market support for the Type R as there is the Civic.
Ted Dorosheff but to me 9k on a 1.5 T is wasting money. And reliability at those power still an issue. It’s same debate as r18 vs k20 back in 2006. Sure u can spend 6k on a r18 to get same power as an Si but why not buying an Si at beginning. Save those 9k buy a type R get flaspro for 750$ and ur at 350 hp with no modification. Add then when you have money more add-on and off course the type R value in 5-10-15 years will be much higher than a 1.5t Si. So you not losing much with it
Seems like you have a bad case of "danger to manifold"
Techno Mancer shotld have more likes on this comment lmao
SHUT UP! (closes laptop, pushes NOS button)
Hey man, it's a learning experience. Expensive... But you learned something from it. Good luck. Keep us updated.
Happened to me too, I'm on my 2nd K20 but 315hp is enough for me. It's my daily driver
@@Charmer4856 why did the 1st one blow?
@@FrancisD Pushing it too hard. It had about 240K of miles on it and I was racing a RX8 going about 150. I did win the battle lol. Funny thing is, it didnt blow up until a few hours later going back home
@@Charmer4856 Damm 😭 I blew my k20 too.. Oil return line burst and ran with no oil😢.. How u hit 150 tho.. My car max out at 140😅
@@FrancisD Technically mine seized up but it was ruined just the same. Its a K20A2...I've done 155 in mine. Actually doesnt take that long to get there either. Top of 5th gear, that was before I swapped in 4.76 final drive and TSX 3rd and 4th.
Its not like these older 90’s hondas man, you gotta be careful, all that power on the little 1.5 without building that block something was bound to happen. Good luck on everything hope you come back stronger
I’m not feeling the sad vibe of this video man lol. You knew pushing it like that with no internals on our motors always end up blowing it up. Some caught it before it got fatal like this. But it’s always happened..you 110% pushed the limits of the motor especially on E85 my dude. Now you can build it. Be happy bro and obviously it’s not the end haha. I can’t wait to see how the engine turns out my dude!!! You can be on top of the 10th gen game right now bro! Do everything you can to make that motor a monster
Doug S Yeah that’s why I explained to educate the ones who keep pushing for power to be aware! I felt the need to be the sacrifice to show everyone these motors aren’t bullet proof! But yes, we are bouncing back with a built motor as prepared! Now we’ll see how far we can take a 1.5L and surprise a few cars along the way 😉
PhongVLG I’m at 240/270 with a stage 1 prl cai, fx300 clutch, and Ktuner V2 and it’s tuned and I surprise the shit out of all the cars I rip on. These cars are amazing man they are so much fun! I wish I lived out there with y’all. I’m in RI haha
Ultimately why I sold my FC1 after three months. Aside from all the legitimate problems with the platform, the ceiling of ~350whp is garb. Sorry this happened to you man but at least you’ve got the money to handle it.
I contemplated trading my ST for an SI briefly, but those numbers are easily obtainable with a K04 and supporting mods on STs and just a flash on GTIs. So I think I'm good lol good luck on the rebuild 👌🏽
To bad st are just as fast as a stock 9th gen lol
@@jasonwarnock707 stock sure, it's open diff and too much wheel spin; once you start modding no cars in the segment can hang with STs or GTIs. I was able to run 12s in my ST with just 2k in mods
daphenom45 lol, no. I am friends with arguably the most prolific focus ST tuner in the nation. They have problems of their own. Funny thing is he now owns an FK8 civic type R and is tuning those now. Wonder why.
Sorry for your loss bro but can’t wait for the rebuild, #buildITbreakITbuildIT again STAY POSITIVE
It's a engine not a family member 😂
Sorry for your loss brother I mean for it to make that amount of power for a 1.5 L is amazing my friend. That’s a blessing it self you got her that high man don’t quit bro keep your chin up !
365whp?! Yeah the si definitely cannot handle that. I remember watching a video by someone saying not to go over 240whp.
Swaggy Jay the stock clutch can’t handle it
I just picked up a 2019 Si and did not have to many plans for it I am just happy to be driving a stick shift again my wife didn't want to learn so I gave it up for a long time but the kids are older and I got what I wanted and I love it!!! But your car is awesome and can't wait to see what is next!! Good luck and take care!!
HudsonHornet 22 I got a 2019 Si too and all I did is a prl cobra intake. Very minor but sounds awesome.
Yo watch you come back with a fully built motor, putting down like 900 whp lol. good luck with the rebuild man, hope to see that Si again
900whp out of a 1.5? People just love talking out of their ass
@@junRowdy hello from the future, I’m pretty sure MAP has a 800 1.5😂 or some company I forgot
All these people talking like they know everything! LOOK HOMIE just build it and really put the power down I can’t wait to see the build come back hard! (JUST SUBSCRIBED can’t wait to see the build💪🏼💯)
Santos Tuner Appreciate it brotha! 👊🏼🔥 Builds back already 💪🏼 and stronger.
PhongVLG haha my bad I just seen this video was 10 months ago! Time to go look at the other videos 💪🏼💪🏼❤️
Can’t wait to see what comes!!!
1.5 leter making over 380 tq. Then people acting like they're surprised when it breaks. How much was safe on a d15 like maybe 230 hp. Yeah this engine is amazing. I'm sold on 10th Gen. Just a k tuner or hondata and I'll be set!
Damnit man hate to see this... and to be honest I'm thinking the tune had a major role in detonation.. they're are plenty of L15B7s making over 400whp and more torque then you made and have been running at the power level well over a year. IMO something else caused your engine to blow..
Stoney Baker Well a big factor in what I explained in the video is that I drive my car very spirited. So as I drive this daily and push it constantly it just became a ticking point for the rods. I just want people to be aware of how fragile these motors are and at what point you end up getting a bit too close to the cliff.
400wtq stock bottom end is asking for problems. Not smart
I just feel like the L15 is such a new platform with alot to be learned over time. I dont think you can pin point the weakness to just a dyno number. As I said before they're are plenty of 10th gens over 400 whp and close or passed the 400tq barrier. K20z3allmotorFTW CZcams channel claims to be the highest HP L15B7 in the world making 465whp on a gtx28r . Granted hes on a Motec ECU which greatly enhances tuning capability, hes still on a stock unopened L15. Ososick media is another example. I know Phong was on a prototype PURE turbo and maybe the amount of torque those smaller frame big wheel turbos make at low rpm is causing the L15s weak point (the rods) to fail. It would be interesting to see a data log of the night your car blew Phong to see exactly what caused the rod to explode out the block. Also I know the factory direct injection fuel system L15s use is a limiting factor right now as there are no aftermarket fuel upgrades at the moment. I wonder what the Air to Fuels were at the time. Could leaning out be the culprit to detonation??
I remember my coupe caught fire while I was working. Insurance company gave me no explanation for why it caught fire. I remember how heartbroken I was. Hoping for the best for you dude I feel for you
How does that even happen lol
Man, it’s been a little over a month since you last posted… and the first one for it to be “my engine blew”… I’ve seen you go through the modding process of your baby, I’m sad watching your efforts blow up… I can only imagine how you feel. I’m glad you haven’t given up on your SI! Stay humble and keep grinding, yadat!
A conservative 350 to the wheels hahaha
Reason why I won’t start messing with my 2017 Si until the car hits 60-80K.
Same here with my 2018. I hear stories all the time, and am in a 10th gen group with them pushing the motors, so I have an idea of limits. More than happy to keep it stock for a year or so and then start playing! It's more than fun for a daily anyways :)
Sorry for sounding like a noob, but is it better to wait before pushing it? My 2018 FC3 Si is at 13000 right now, bone stock. Partly due to limited funds, but also not knowing what the hell to do first.
60-80k miles is just breaking the car in, hit 150k before mods lol
Cristian Radical, true that 60-80K is just breaking in but I'm not in the market for a motor overhaul anytime soon. If i want a fast fast car, might as well buy one. Someday when you own your own house and 3 kids you'll realize there are more important things in life than holding onto your childhood. Of course i would love to have EG swapped hatch.......$20-30K into just so it can look okay and maybe hit 11's without having to tear the motor apart everytime i drive it. Speed isn't everything. Oh......my Si......its my daily driver.
NFiltr8Red x
Now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block....and replace the piston rings you fried
This thing would romp on my stock twin turbod volvo...😐
Never underestimate the power of a civic👌 sorry about the blown engine i feel for ya broh. What a nightmare..
350 to the wheels probably pushing 29 psi. That’s conservative for a type R, focus rs, golf type R. From literally 175 whp/205 crank to 350whp/390crank. That’s literally twice the hp. Good video
when takumi blew up his , made me cry
watching yours 😢, we shed a tear with you
I did instantly think of Takumi when I saw this! Don't worry Phong, like a Phoenix from the fire you will rise!
But takumi didn’t tune his car, his dad did. And he is likely faster than anyone even on a stock car in the mountain passes....for a fictional character
If you want high hp then may I suggest a complete engine, clutch and trans rebuild with forged pistons, reinforced block and internals! Why not just drop in a 2.0 accord motor from a junkyard!
From Puerto Rico I wish you the best with your project don’t worry sometimes things happens for a good reason so maybe something better is going to happen to you
🇵🇷😬✌🏻 Mi hermano!
I'm sorry man, but for the community, you are doing a great thing by documenting it. I am going to definitely keep my FC3 safe. Is there anything that we can do to prevent it? Minus putting another engine under the hood? Also, what are your plans for your car, what engine will you put in there?
Josemari Zafra Goal of the video is to let people be aware that these motors aren’t bullet proof, there is a red zone, just stay under 300 wtq and you’ll be fine, the more you mod the closer to the cliff you become. If you want to really be safe, upgrade your internals as in pistons and rods. Also, we are putting the same L15B7 motor in but this time all the internals will be fully built! Upgraded to withstand such power and more!
I was hurt when i saw this notification, but we all know you will come back strong
This is why k tunner and Hondata scare me till my cars paid off lol
Since no one else is going to say it
LS SWAP IT
Chill I’m just playing
I've said it before, the k20z3 was the last good motor Honda produced 😐 I mean you can make 450-500whp on pump gas all stock reliably, little 1.5 liter let's go at 350 🤷🏻♂️🙈
The z3 had problems with the oil pumps falling off the block. k20z1 is much better.
@@AcuraLvR82 literally never heard of that and have thrown 500+ whp at 2 of em in my car but ok lol you get my point though, 2011 was the last year with a good motor that can make serious power on stock internals 👍🏻
Horsepower and torque are two different things torque will kill it faster
@Sergio Aguirre wheres the video of that? Lol
I get my 2019 si sedan next week... Pretty stoked.
I got mine last year and I couldn't sleep!! It's awesome!! Have fun!
Are y’all going to mod it? Idk if I should or not
This is what happens it takes time but then you get rebuilt and your gonna be making crazy hp numbers bro
I wouldn’t trust any mechanic that thinks 20 psig is low boost.
In fact, it’s not the boost the determines power. Pressure is a function of resistance. Higher efficiency larger turbochargers can push more air at lower boost and make much more power.
He wasn't saying 20 psi was low boost, he meant the motor was originally built for use with low boost and economy driving
Thonmoy Bhattacharjee he said the engine was designed for low boost. The Civic Si engine was designed for 20psig.
Therefore, he’s saying that 20psig is low boost.
It’s the logical conclusion.
@@KTMcaptain pretty sure it doesn't run 20psi the whole time for an extended amount of time. You act like everyone runs it at redline all the time.
ItzCashew I’m not acting anyway. It’s designed for 20psig. Even at 15psig that isn’t low boost which is the lowest it’ll run at wide open throttle that I’ve seen.
By your insane logic no car is high boost because they won’t run that pressure level all the time. Any turbo car will have an extremely dynamic pressure ratio. So quoting peak boost is essentially industry standard.
Might as well buy a type r or boost a 9th gen. 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly. Getting the makspeed kit soon
Note to self, do not over do it. Just joined. Going to buy a si as a daily driver. Currently drive a 2018 ram rebel but the gas is killing me. Sure hope I will like the si
I’m sorry to hear about this man, this was the last video I was expecting. Good luck on the new engine and I look forward to watching the SI V2 build
Sorry 2 hear that bro. I'm on my 2nd K20A2, I'm happily safe with 315hp. I blew my first motor going 100 but earlier in that same day, I was going 145 but it had 225K miles on it. Whenever this engine goes, I'm gonna take the time to build it from scratch and finally throw in the race cams
Looking forward to the comeback. I grenaded two motors in my AP1, I know the feeling. Let me know if you need anything bro. 👍
5Point OH Thanks brotha! I really appreciate it! 👊🏼🔥
Subscribed my man! Keep it going! There's always going to be up and downs to this
This is going to be start of an amazing new journey brotha and best believe im staying tuned for every single build video!
Sorry to hear that man.... Hope all goes well with next engine, glad you're posting videos of it.
CivicSocialClub shed a tear with you
You’ll bounce back, always appreciate some 10th gen content
Assuming that your power levels are from a normal reading dyno (not high or low) this engine should be capable of handling around 330ft/tq at the wheels. So knowing that people can put in a bigger turbo and tune the car to not exceed that torque value. They can have a daily capable of making low 400whp easily.
Sheesh almost 400 torque is why she went buddy
Ouch. The bad side about modding a brand new platform. You can pay the price of something like this.
This is the reason why I'm keeping my warranty intact. After some time, prices eventually go down and it's less costly and you can go all out.
I wonder how much whp you'll put on the new engine
Thats why i love the 8th and 9th gens. Ivtec takes anything.
Me wondering how the engine blew, sees dyno reults... nvm
Can’t wait to see what’s next...Awesome seeing you yesterday at BBQ . See you at Hondata brother👍🏻👌🏻✌🏻🙏🏻
Parsecs_Si thanks broth, likewise ! 👊🏼🔥
I’m hype for the new build!!!
Good luck to you. I can’t wait to see this beautiful car to come back stronger than ever.
good luck on your build. I just started mine and I'm doing it totally different. Im working in the reverse order so I don't walk down the same path. Best of luck bud.
🚙🚘Dang bro I’m bummed for ya!! I have been a subscriber for a long time!! I bought a 2017 Civic Si right when they came out in the exact same color as you!! Not long after that I came across your channel!! It is cool to share a common passion for cars!! I have enjoyed your content and look forward to the build series you are going to do!! I will have my Si for 4 more weeks because I just bought a Type R!!! I have really enjoyed the Si!! Keep up the great work and God bless ya brother!!🚙🚘
Shaun Christensen Thanks for the kind and surreal collection of words, I appreciate the strong support and am very thankful to have viewers like yourself.

A motor is in the door lifting the window, an engine is under your hood in the engine bay... You blew your engine.
Oh fuck off
Stop being a nit picky little shit stain who cares
StillNotTellingYouMyName so we should start calling motor mounts ,engine mounts ?
@@robertgraham5486 correct
With that built motor, i know damn well youre gonna break 400+ easy!
Your going to bounce back bro even harder
Edgar you know it... thanks brotha ! 👊🏼🔥
It looks like you might have had a blown head gasket. The oil is milky. Sucks man. I know your pain. Mine blew last month and all I had was a stock stage 2 tube and intake and intercooler. Blew at 103k miles. I experienced a knock at 102k and removed the tune, took it in and dealership said I needed a valve adjustment and spark plugs changed a 1000 miles later my rod in cylinder 2 broke and went through both sides of the engine.
Damn bro my heart breaks for you as if it were my own car that blew. I just have a prl cobra cold air intake tsp stage 1 tune and fx350 clutch on my 10th gen si. I wanted to go e85 and their stage 2 tune but I definitely have my concerns knowing quite a few people have blown these motors up. Most not pushing what your car was even making before it let go. I may have to settle for where the car is at. Cant afford to blow her up just yet
You won't blow her up with the TSP stage 2 tune. Just make sure to run E30-40 and you'll be fine.
Sorry to hear about your car glad you’re not giving up on the build 💪🏽
So you and Nic both blew your motors? He’s been MIA too...
Eddiev8 No, he’s MIA for his own reasons. That’s not my place to say, but I’m the unfortunate one haha
Dramatic for no reason 😂
How much boost were you running?
I want to tune my si coupe and I need to know limits. My desired power is 300hp
To every one that trys to say the 10th gen si is better then the 8th. For as much as it cost for a 10th you could build and boost a 8th and have a faster more reliable car... just saying
FG2_CS best generation of civics period
im new to boosting cars but even i know that in order to maintain the engines integrity you NEED to upgrade the engines internal.
José R Some engines handle better than others, in this case as we upgraded for power we didn’t know the limitations of what this engine can hold as previous Honda engines like the K20 could hold 400+ fine. So as for anything, it’s all trial and error to find out. But with this video and the sacrifice now we know. 👍🏼
Sorry for the loss bro. Makin me rethink if i should pull the trigger on a 2019 Si or not.
Pajeet Pooboo do it you won’t regret it
Pajeet Pooboo Keep in mind I was pushing the limits on the stock block while also driving this car aggressively everyday.
Do it! As mentioned above, you won't regret it. I love my 2018 to death just stock. More than enough for daily fun.
Also bigger turbos make more power while being easier on the rods..the mid sized turbos like this can actually be the hardest on these motors
Just get a type r instead
It could’ve part of Honda’s oil dilution problem. Reason why I stood away from the si and am now saving the pennies for the K20c1 type r 🙏🏽
Good lesson to learn from building power on the new si. Now i know
Goodluck with her
Keep your head up.
If you would’ve pink slipped those races you’d have yourself spare cars parked in your lot.
the overbuilt engine of a fiat 500 Abarth might have handled it better than the lighter metal of the civic engine. Honda doesn’t seem to overengineer their engines by much on modern cars.
Yeah a Fiat that can handle 365ft lb of torque you must be crazy. They piss out oil after 20 k cheap Italian rusty shit boxes!!!
Prob push every time. They are very tempting thats why I barely push boost. Great videos! I'm looking forward to ur bombass vlogs
I hear these SI engines are maxed out stock.. weak internals it’s an economy engine it’s not designed for that.. you want more power by a TYPE R or Corolla GR those engines are substantially stronger and have 300HP stock.
Seeing this after learning how he was running mods from an unknown company that probably didn't know what they were doing on a big turbo set up. This happens to people who don't research parts and risk their cars for mods that aren't even fully tested. PRL has a solid 10 second car and no issues so far. Don't just drop thousands of dollars just to be fast or the first one to be on full bolt ons. This guy probably blamed the tuner lol. Don't rush a build.
JOVTEC X I think you need to do your research before commenting, as I have never blamed my tuner or am running unknown brand parts, if you would check the mod list in the description you would happen to find out I am running a few PRL parts myself. These new 1.5L motors are prone to blow as the rods are the biggest weak point when chasing for extended power. Overtime the stress will send the rod through the block, PRL has a built motor on their latest set-up (guess you didn’t research that) & know themselves what the risk are on the stock block. You explain how people need to educate and research themselves but you completely missed researching yourself, wherever you saw that I am running unknown parts is a lie. I am open about my build and share all details of my journey, I have nothing to hide.
@@PhongVLG The motor is built because they know what they're doing. Your jumping the gun expecting the car to handle so much power on a budget build. The "unknown" parts was referring to a previous video where you couldn't disclose the power it was making because you were running a prototype big turbo set up. Bolt ons will only get you so far with stock internals. Just do it right next time with patience.
JOVTEC X This platform is freshly new, no one knew the limits or weak points till now, matter of fact we still don’t know what the transmission limit is. Also, Built Internals didn’t just come out the moment the car did, it’s a learning process just as any other build. We’ve learned that these motors don’t hold as strong as the old K series motors, but what we’ve learned we share as a community. This wasn’t a budget build but a process, the prototype turbo was from a company known for making turbos for much higher-end cars than just the Si, yet you proclaimed in your last comment it’s from a company who doesn’t know what they are doing. You fail to miss the point that I’m here to “spend my money how I want” in order to share my experience and prevent others from thinking they can push power without consequence. This platform is easy to make power quick, but not everyone knows that the motors can’t handle over 300whp for long.

On October 19, 2017 something similar happened to my 07 Fit sport, the bottom oil pan blew and metal scattered everywhere but I don’t have power like you have just basic bolt on etc. I gave up on Honda now and now drive a 2016.5 Mazda CX-5, I love Mazda now 😁
Just subscribe to your channel.. I am curious to see what one of this car with the 1.5L can do with a build motor and nice big turbo on it..
360 wheel hp on the stock block what did you expect to happen
Can straight up say it’s your tuners fault. Look at that torque curve gaining 200lbs of torque in 1500rpms is a lot. The motor comes stock with forged connecting rods so it’s a sad excuse especially seeing people running 550whp daily on these motors no problem. If they didn’t tune it in a way that the torque is like a light switch you wouldn’t have been forced to rebuild right away.
No one’s running 550whp daily on these 1.5L’s unless they are taking away a ton of torque, these motors naturally make alot of torque and also do not come with forge connecting rods, they are cast iron. These motors are economy motors and weren’t expected to push such power. This video is years back and as we’ve moved forward there are already built block packages for those wanting to achieve more out of these cars now.
If you look at honda parts now website, the short blocks are cheap right now, because they are in warranty for the new si's
Thanks for the content man. Now I know what to do when I'm ready to upgrade my si
Add more boost they said, it’ll be fun they said.
New hondas arent the same as the old ones its a shame not as strong or reliable just got hooked on the look
Wesley Haney yea totally its the reliability and not the fact that he was pressing 360hp out o a 1.5L
Thanks for sharing and good luck.
