'25 Integra ASpec CVT Build

[slowcountry]

Here are some stance pics - thought they give a good view on stock wheels/tires since I have 20mm on the front and none on the rear. Rear spacers go in soon!

Very dope build! Any plans to ever get it on a dyno?

Local shop is getting one in a few weeks. It's booked up already, but I think I'll be checking it out towards Q3 2026!

Much UWU! Plz post results when it’s done?

This is an impressive build for a CVT. Really going to be looking for how the CVT holds and how your numbers are once you hit a dyno.

I forgot we have a dragy pro at work - I'll see if we can take it for a spin soon!

Feeling paranoid because I forgot to double check the intercooler outlet charge pipe clamp while I had the bumper off for the intake snorkel install...

I played with the layout on the ktuner v2 and realized I was underutilizing that device... I've had it displaying just 3 gauges all this time... none of the data reads. So I went on a ~15 minute spirited ride with all of the data on.

First pull was in normal mode 30 - 70 and peaked with 21 MAP PSI and 21 TC TARGET PSI. Second on the way back was in S drive & Sport mode on a long ramp with slight decline... and I forgot to look down at the gauge. I logged it - will try to see if I can take a look tomorrow. Really need to compare this drive to a similar drive in manual mode.. Drive finished with ECT at 197 and Trans Temp at 185, and k cont 0.49.

So everything seems to be working correctly. That said, I still want to take that bumper off to be sure

Side bar - picked up a Carismo wheel & will try to get that installed this weekend.

Carismo signature perforated leather wheel with the matte CF trim and CF magnetic paddle shifters installed -

I got the steering wheel used here on the forums & got the trim from carismo, but saved on white-label shifters. Pretty simple install, just takes patience with fitting the trim back together. The paddle shifter wiring harnesses have to be routed up by the ribbon harness on top for it to fit back together.

I also got ZL1 Add-ons rock guards to protect the paint a bit now that the wheels are offset. ZL1 doesnt make them for the integra/civic si so I ordered the civic ones expecting to drill my own holes. Think they turned out pretty great - can share basic measurements for the holes if interested. I sent the details to ZL1, maybe they'll offer them eventually.

Last - have been trying to figure out a squeak that sounded like it was coming from the rear sway bar bushings. I loosened and retorqued those under load while adding a little lubricant for the bushing.

While I was there I checked the torque on the rear subframe chassis bolts and found them around 60 ft-lb. Not sure if it was from the stiffer sway bar or just chassis settling, but torqued those down to 69ft-lb. Might be worth checking your rear subframe chassis bolts!
