Came here to say this. At 14.7 psi (1 atm) boost, intake air at 27°C would increase in temperature to 92°C without any heat transfer to the air, just from the compression. The hot turbo would increase that further but I think it's safe to say that most of the heating comes from the compression. This is why even supercharged engines without hot exhaust gasses near the compressor benefit from an intercooler.

Nice overview and nothing like discouraging a person from working on a Civic. Sadly, Honda packs in a lot of garbage parts while using Aluminum, Plastic, and some steel. For a mechanic, this is a nightmare for the removal of various parts as you are required to move other parts out of the way. Too many exposed wires and connectors, and some are badly placed, including hoses. The undercarriage panels are cheap and will allow for the collection of road debris, minerals, chemical contaminates, and winter road salt, trapping water and moisture in promoting rust acceleration. What is all that white powder stuff as you point to a lot of stuff? The roughly 6 to 8-month-old Civic is in need of a good cleaning. Honda is building Civic with cheapo parts and making it so you are not able to do repairs without having a mechanic repair shop garage of your own. Get into an accident and one airbag goes off, your Insurance company will deem it totaled. For the money, buy a classic car that you can work on and keep for the next 20 to 30 years. Honda made the Civic sophisticated and complex with hundreds of various thin-sized plastic stuff with easy-to-break parts. A One Dollar part will cost you $30 to $50. Shame on Honda for producing an unsafe automobile. Okay, they fixed the safety issue by installing 10 airbags providing they are not defective airbags or the triggering mechanism does not work. The one automotive manufacturer that is worst than Honda is KIA. The military uses the acronym KIA for Killed In Action. I had recently seen a KIA involved in an accident and it was not a pretty sight, not much left to the KIA or its engine compartment, a definite death trap, and KIA debris was everywhere. Never buy or drive a KIA unless you want to be buried. You might be safer in a YuGo!

Great video! Very informative and well thought out. Quick question: Would you agree that how a person drives a car and how well they maintain it matters the most? Obviously with time comes wear and tear. But if you handle your car with care and keep up with preventative maintenance, it’ll at least reduce complexities when it comes to repairs and cost?

I have a manual gear 1.5 civic. Very happy so far, ( just 40.000 km on it). The power is amazing, and the fuel consumption very very low. I don´t know carbon build problems on this engine so far, yesterday I read that this engine doesn´t have EGR valve, maybe this is one of the reasons.. Can you confirm to me the absence of EGR on this engine?

You gotta be out of your mind to plunk down so much hard earned for all that critical componentry made from plastic is what I think. Valve covers, if the plastic ones don't warp or crack, are still heat sinks that dissipate. Now the radiator and cooling system have to be engineered precisely or it's game over.

Question on the 2.0L engine verse the 1.5L turbo charged engine. I have a general, overall distrust of turbo charged engines since going back years they seemed to have a number of problems in various car models, but Honda seems to be 'ok' with the turbo charged engines. Does the 2.0L without a turbocharge last longer than the 1.5L turbocharged or is the Honda turbocharged line just as good as a non turbo engine now a days?
@Deadlybroom
2 жыл бұрын
Honestly, the 2.0 is going to last longer. Turbos ram more air into your engine, which in turn puts more strain on all engine components. That’s not to say that the 1.5 won’t be a reliable engine. I think they will do just fine. From what I’ve seen so far, you can put tons of miles on these puppies just as so many Honda owners have done in the past. Honda knows turbos!
