Dun listen to ppl say

Turbo is the future, small engine with Turbo is the way now, Turbo is normal now, Turbo is reliable, Turbo is this and that...thats not wanting turbo must be living in carburetor age....

Later after your warranty finish and engine light come out, sudden lost of power, and after a week find oil spots under your car and repair bill is RM8K...dun say I didnt warn you..

Might not be related to your questions above. My father in law just bought Civic 1.8. I took it for a spin on highway. The acceleration is good enuff, can reach to 190 km/j quite fast without much effort. However, the car turns me down on handling side. I am used to drive Gen2 which by far have the good handling for the car in its price range. The Civic handling is far from that. It feels wobbly at high speed straights, let alone in the corners. Need to do micro adjustments on the steering to keep the car straight. Quite frightening I might say. I am looking at either Mazda 3 or Jetta now.

Yup true, amongst my cars, gen2 cps has one of the best handling

Then there's lotus

No need to worry, turbo has been use on big trucks for a long long time and can last for millions of miles. But then you will have to factor in the EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) between of petrol and diesel. Petrol turbo is more prone to failure due to the higher EGT from petrol combustion. Diesel has much lower EGT.

Wanna ask..

So i am thinking to get a Honda Civic 1.5T or either the 1.8L

So my question is, how the maintance of the turbo variant?

Can i change the engine oil every 10,000km?
You can't change exactly every 10,000km, EO lifespan determined by computer based on your usage and driving condition, everything will take into calculation on how the EO lifespan behaves

Because I heard turbo engine need to take more proper care.
Dont pedal to metal before shutting off engine,
Dont lug the engine during low speed.


Like need to change engine oil earlier? Is it true?
Partly true. Some people need to change EO at 5xxx KM , some at 6xxx KM

Looking at the figure, 170+ hp from such a small 1.5L engine and single scroll turbo, it must face alot of force to get that power figure..

So 1st question, need change oil earlier or can change like normal aspirated car at 10,000km or more?
Refer above

Second question,

i see that the 1.5T engine is using Direct injection rather than PFI..
Will the engine face carbon build up issues later?

Or is it the Honda 1.5T are as the same as the new Toyota GDI which have dual function.When idle, the valve spray fuel like PFI but when car in move change back to GDI.. So can prevent carbon??

Any suggestion are welcome..

If not I would take the civic 1.8L
Forget about 1.8 NA, why would you consider that dinosaur engine?

Please enlighten m why there is carbon build up in DI and not PFI. Thanks.

And for your info, DI sprays like PFI. The only difference is the injection point.
