Meet My Gorgeous Honda Civic X Turbo 2016

[salik990]

No knocking so far.

[ahad5]

Hello did you recently got your civic detailed?

[InNoCeNt_DeViL]

How is the drive going, mileage etc? Any knocking observed and what fuel is being used. Is the Honda oil good as I have service of 5k coming and concerned with 0W-20 oil by Honda

Drive is without any doubt still going great. All the addiction is its mind blowing power and acceleration .Car has done almost 6k kms now.. yes knocking is there unfortunately even on Total HOBC .. I have tried every fuel and total hobc is the best but still even on total hobc it knocks sometimes .. I fail to understand sometimes it just stops completely like it didnt knock for 3 weeks then all of a sudden recently when I was driving on a bridge near ABDULLAH SHAH GHAZI mazar it started knocking quite badly .. it was not the typical " krrr krrr krrr " that used to come it wasnt that tick tick tick that used to stop on its own or if we leave the gas pedal for a while .. it was a constant knocking like some old Gli XLi a continuous ( khrrrrrrr khrrr ) while going uphill as if some kachraa aya wa ho .. it has happened more than 3 to 4 times now .. other than that ride is great however that knocking is really annoying and irritating
Ppl who have gone for unichip to eliminate this knocking even they are still facing it . Even Honda ppl are still trying very hard but no fruitful results so far . The premium even at this time when Eid is so near still the premium on a mod steel turbo is 1lacs only ! Can you believe that ? The market and resale of this car has gone down the drain . I really feel bad ! It was such a great civic kaash ye masla na hota ..

But now I have finally got some best modifications done to the engine unfortunately it isnt that fast anymore infact quite slower than before a stock turbo would smoke it in a quartermile drag race and even on long route but on long route it will def catch it in the end speed limiter has been removed which was set at 207 before . The car is still fast than most of the cars we see daily in our city yes not as fast as stock turbo or audis . But thats ok I have enjoyed it to the max had drags with many many great cars like 250G A4 A3 1.8T FJ Cruiser 7 series many C180s and C200s and smoked them all so yes now its time for a smooth comfortable and tension free reliable and durable engine setup that doesnt knock like stock turbo
So after thinking alot got all those mods done car is slower now but knocking has gone completely infact it drives great on regular super too without any knocking
Will share the details soon
Busy in exams will share everything this weekend IN SHA ALLAH

I have gotten reflashed from unichip and since teo month Alhumdulillah no knocking even from other HOBC fuel and in fact my civic turbo got much better in acceleration. Had race with friends civic turbo n beated him by 2 cars.

[InNoCeNt_DeViL]

Thats great
How much was the expense ?
Still its so irritating to get a brandnew car that costs almost 33 lacs and then visit workshops for the fix and this reflash
And resale still is a big question mark

Bro, my Turbo has around 5800 kms on the odo. Got its first oil change done at 5000 kms. I've been using around 60% Total HOBC and 40% total petrol on every fill up. Have been filling from Total Phase 8 on Shujaat for the past 4-5 tanks and there is ZERO knocking these days.

My car had also developed knocking when I was filling from PSO Ittehad but since then I have either used Total Shujaat Ph6 or Total Shujaat Ph8 (mostly) and car has been running great without any mods.

[salik990]

Reflash is for 30k, most of the turbo civic which was delivered after Jan is not having knocking issue, a friends blue turbo civic is stock n perfectly fine with v-power and total hobc.

Bro you are lucky that it is running fine
I always get total hobc from phase 8 near kh e Qasim havent used any other fuel in last 2k kms running but still faced this issue
Initially once in a blue moon wala scene tha but now 3 4 din mein ho hy jati hai

[InNoCeNt_DeViL]

Will share the engine mods and other add ons soon , hopefully by this weekend
The thread is about to take a U-turn

[jklodhi]

I was wondering that since you have reduced the pick of Turbo thus eliminating the knock, another solution could be to go for gradual pedal without knock.

I've been through this knocking and believe me when it happens gradual pedal is not the solution. Sometimes in moderate traffic, a gap opens up for a split second and u need to take it - and just at that millisecond the car starts knocking instead of accelaràting. It's very annoying.

[arkhitekt]

U turn and a Heavy one. I am assuming the cat is still in the bag as far as public is concerned?

From what I've seen and heard, the worst affected Turbos are those that have been driven on V-Power. Just doesn't seem to come back to you.

A colleague of mine also has Turbo and he also moved from Shell to Total after my recommendation and its knocking just hasn't improved. He keeps using Total HOBC 100% - somehow I think you should not use more than 75% HOBC. The best my car has felt (other than the first 500kms) has been when I've gone with around 60% or so HOBC and rest petrol (Total of course). Reason I 'rolled back' from 100% HOBC was that I observed more than acceptable (for me) amount of carbon on the exhaust pipes - so I thought what the hell, lets roll back and sure enough the car responded positively to that change. I haven't used 100% HOBC for atleast the past 8-9 tanks.

I know its hard to move down from 100% HOBC to a mix when your car is knocking, but that's just my personal experience.

[salik990]

Yea V-Power is worse for turbo civic, would recommend Total HOBC only. Btw i ve noticed the exhaust tips getting black and i think its normal for turbo cars.

[jklodhi]

I am using mix of Total Hioctane and Hisuper and it is working fine

[drtariqazeem]

Still in the bag

Atlas really suks. Feel sad for the turbo owners. Its resale has hit the floor.

Yes I agree
Ppl are not even getting 30lacs for 2016 models and hardly 3050 for 2017 models
There is an ad in used cars section , a sliver turbo only 5k driven and 2017 model he started from 3350 and now he is just demanding 3175 still the car is there and not sold yet
Knocking issue is there I agree but its not that irritating you forget it when the car comes back to normal within seconds and when you floor it the addiction is enough to forget any kurrr kurrr kerrr kerrrr knocking but such a bad resale is not a good sign
Esp for most of the owners
Even I used to say " To hell with resale " but I thought it would fetch equal to or slightly less than oriel after 3 to 4 years but never thought it would happen in just 9 to 10 months
Current premium on Oriel is 225 to 275k these days depending on color mod steel is at 270k plus
However mod steel turbo is available at shahrahe faisal for 100k own only

[InNoCeNt_DeViL]

So now my car is running fine and I havent faced knocking in last 15 days and 250 kms of running
The power has significantly reduced but Resale Value is solid now and car would run fine without any trouble even on regular octane . It is at 141hp only at present but with my future planned engine mod it would go upto 166hp
