Hi I'm newbie here
Im driving 408 1.6T the car is 2 weeks old only mileage 1500km approx. i have some issue about the car .
1 ) After engine is off the fan still running is this normal ? 2 ) Gear auto drop like jerking from 2nd to 1st when slowing to stop is this normal? 3 ) Top speed is at 200km only after 200 no compression is this normal? 4) Can put blow off valve to the engine ? 5) Can remove the catalytic converter ? 6) Temperature at 90 deg is this normal? 7) Paddle down to the floor got 2 stages when very near to the floor the paddle stuck for 1st stage after that continue pressing again until reach the floor for the 2nd stage is this normal ?

QUOTE(evollace @ Oct 9 2013, 03:29 PM) the last fuel tank was about 50% highway, also I force myself to be light footed ... letting speed build progressively rather than hantam the accelerator.. and try to stay within the sane speed (darn hard to do for me). M trying to replicate the result again/ improve FC, and I also wanna see the result after SC flash (new?) ECU (done with my 1st inspection) From my under standing the sc will no do anything to ECU unless u remap it..

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Oct 14 2013, 09:30 AM) I don't believe 1.6 Civic can keep up with our 1.6THP. I've smoked 2L Civic. He would catchup when I slow down for traffic. But when I step on the pedal,torque pulled away denying him even my tailpipe smoke! Something is not right with your ECU,might need a flush and reset! Bro I have smoked lancer gt but not this civic ek

QUOTE(jfcheong @ Oct 14 2013, 09:40 AM) I believe he was referring to Civic Type R EK. Stock output around 180hp. Maybe it was modded B16a or B16b I can heard the vtec open loud and clear

[quote=vijay14,Oct 14 2013, 01:20 PM] Gear transition is much smoother now. No jerking as of now. Seems to be quite powerful also. But this can also be attributed to after service effect. But overall, it's a much enjoyable ride now. Quite happy  [/qu how are they reset the gearbox manual or computer?
