C.A.I., cat back, and Tune?
Does any one make a Cold Air Intake and cat back for the 2016 civic with the 2.0L yet? also does anyone make any type of power adder other then N20? thanks

Search for the acura ILX, they used the engine for a few years now and it might be a similar platform.
I am not sure whether the 2016 civic is based off of the ILX or if the ILX was based off of the previous generation of civic.

close but the ILX uses a 2.4L and the MAF looks to be different. I was hoping ingen or someone was making one for this model but so far no luck. they are making them for the turbo cars though.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

actually they claim to increase 29HP with the injen intake over stock. Injen claims that either honda is derating the 1.5T engine or the stock intake focuses more on noise and emissions then on performance,so it tends to choke the turbo.

The thing about CAI and turbo engines is that if you drop the intake temp by 30 degrees it still has to pass through the 6-700 degree turbocharger and be compressed. Just the act of compressing the air increases the temperature. I recall seeing 19 psi was the stock boost setting on these engines. That is a lot of boost in a little engine in a fairly large car.
If I was going for increased power on a turbo engine I would be looking at intercooler sprayers and meth injection.

well mine is not a turbo car so.lol
I get what your saying. Back when I was into turbo cars it was about bigger injectors, fuel pump, water meth. but then those cars had pretty well flowing air filters.
