Costa Rica EX CVT tune and mods

Post by NeoSharen »

First at all, hello from Costa Rica.

A little background before I start with my questions.

So, as you can see, I'm from Costa Rica, a little country in Central America next to Panama. Since it's a tropical country, the temperature during the whole year is around 18C-35C (that's like 65F to 95F). And we got like two seasons, a rainy season and a dry one. The civic hatchback EX without sensing is the only version that sells in Costa Rica, so that was my only option. I got it in 2019 and currently the car is stock, it's my first car that I want to do some modifications and I'm a noob to this world. I spent like 2 months reading a bit per day in this forum before I started this thread. I know there's already TOOOONS of information about tunning and moding cvts but I do need some answers or suggestions for my particular scenario.

To start with, theorically, I want ktuner, a 27won hybrid intake(rains half of the year so it looks like a good option to me) and a DP and an intercooler and .....FULL BOLTS ON!!!

Now, in the real world, the forum research tells me, get a tune and call it a day since I won't race at all with the car. Plus, if I ever want any mod, I have to order it from USA and ship it to Costa Rica, I believe for some parts the price will be double with all fees together, (i.e. intercooler, looks pretty big the package) and once I order the part, there's no going back since it's pretty hard to return and refund.

Here come my questions:

If I keep the car stock, which tune should I go? I have no tech support locally, everything is based in this forum, and by what I read it's TSP stage1. But there's also stage2, phearable 1.5, even god mode etc. I just want a stable tune, nothing to worry about, not even going to datalog anything.

I know the tune is straight forward according to videos on youtube, BUT, is there any way to safe my ass if I mess anything tunning? LOL...
If I just get a ktuner tsp stage1, can car handle it and deal with the climate without problem or the better choice is to at least get FMIC because of the ambient temperature?

Should I do mods from the same company or there's no problem to get from different brands? The main concern here is the shipping and if parts fit together, since it's hard for me to return or resell, and I'm not sure if the TSP stage1 is compatible with every bolt on(I have read somewhere that when you are doing the tune, you have the options to select your bolt ons for different calibration, but I'm not sure about this)

That's it for the moment, thanks in advance for future suggestions or answers.

Best regards.

I love the Latin vibe and all the beauty it has to offer. As for your car mods, it's awesome that you're diving into the world of tuning. It's always good to start with a stable and reliable tune. TSP stage1 seems like a popular choice, especially if you won't be racing the car.
Regarding mods, you can mix and match from different brands but do check for compatibility to avoid any issues. Shipping can be tricky, so plan wisely. But I prefer to travel to Costa Rica. I've heard great things about Sagicor and its tours in Costa Rica. It seems like they offer some incredible experiences.
