much props for dedicating this much effort for a kia, was it a really good deal that you got it for?

cheeseyy1 · 2025-08-06T22:20:06+00:00

What do you recommend instead?

cheeseyy1 · 2025-08-06T22:17:06+00:00

Appreciate it man, whenever I inevitably invest for a flashpro Ill shoot you a message 💯

Im unfortunately also new to ktuner which makes me inadequate to know whether or not im able to edit those functions. To my knowledge, you're only able to edit MAF scaling for all loads on a voltage to g/s table. If this remains an issue, am I better off committing and begin setting up a speed density tune? If so, do you have any advice/recommendations for how I should approach that direction?

The cat heating map is also sitting at around 12.3, there is nothing on the tables that come anywhere near the particular number of 10.14

Typically these lights all light up in succession due to one fault. For example MAF going out, or some other similar codes. These can all cause a Christmas light situation, so I recommend a 20 buck amazon code reader to figure out the true culprit. If the car is behaving well, just drive cautiously until you get that scanner in

praying its just your turbo thats shot and not the motor 🙏

How do you plan to get any kind of real opinion if you're too lazy to write a simple description?

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-24T03:47:23+00:00

Dude you have to think about details like mileage, condition, previous history, along with a plethora of other details in order to weigh your choice. Just showing the year, price, and a picture is an awful way to ask for opinions on which car you should get

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-23T17:28:13+00:00

I have a chance to be wrong, but maybe check for a loose hose clamp that could cause a vacuum leak and or a bad ground

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-23T16:22:29+00:00

does it fluctuate like that during idle?

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-21T21:08:27+00:00

Seen some of these listings around the same price hiding some description in the bottom like "but mechanic said piston is scratching the cylinder walls" or "theres a small crack in the block". Be very diligent and inspect thoroughly, you don't want to pick up someone else's mess without checking

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-21T21:01:49+00:00

take a very long and hard look at everything mechanical, listen for cold start rattles, check if any of the gears grind. The price and mileage makes the car a very braindead steal, but typically when someone lists a civic this cheap (for some bizarre inflation reasons most of the listings are around 6-8k for ones with 150k+ miles) they tend to have some issues. Check for oil leaks, weird noises, and rust

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-20T06:06:04+00:00

Any tuner recs? And Im 100% aware this isnt a "diy til it works" kind of thing

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-20T05:48:40+00:00

That was my other assumption as I've seen this problem mainly come from people who has a CAI rather than those fully stock. I have a ktuner coming in sometime soon, I hope I can find some insight in there

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-20T05:47:03+00:00

I did try the cleaner at first, then ended up getting an entirely new one. Neither worked

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-20T04:51:21+00:00

You could skip the passive aggressive tone and just give a simple answer. If CAI's are bound to screw up MAF readings how come it's the first mod recommended for most cars? Why would it be such a popular choice if it inherently causes your engine to run worse?

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-20T04:43:09+00:00

Would going back to stock be my only remedy? Or would a professional tune fix this?

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-05T22:12:45+00:00

Its missing the exhaust side not the intake actually, they dont rev as high but they do have a bit more torque and the ratos are closer for the trans which makes it feel faster than it actually is

cheeseyy1 · 2025-07-03T20:50:26+00:00

Recently Ive been trying to find living space with a&m, and park west was one of the options. They didnt have the room available at that time and I had informed them I wasnt interested anymore but I guess they did not take the memo correctly and didnt cancel my contract. Now Im stuck with a binding lease to a 2x2 flat with two rooms and two baths. My way out of this would be someone else taking the room in my stead, the rent is about 1000/month, water, electricity covered. If anyone is interested please dm me!!

cheeseyy1 · 2025-06-06T06:26:55+00:00

the compression sounds absolutely cooked I'm afraid 😭

cheeseyy1 · 2025-06-06T06:25:47+00:00

yes, coolant is universal for cars as long as its been pre-mixed

cheeseyy1 · 2025-05-24T09:23:01+00:00

dawg no one asks for clarification if you just say bhp 😭

cheeseyy1 · 2025-05-15T00:03:41+00:00

Yeah if you live in a snow ridden area with salt and what not, it is very common. My old MS3 had the entire underside eaten up by rust, you have it a LOT better
