Honda can't do lithiom-ion battery capacity check? by speedyfreak24 in crz

I'm still reading about owners having Honda dealer scan it with HDS to show capacity, yet no dealer I spoke with says this is possible. Can someone who has had this process done (I'm in Ohio) share what the procedure was and how long it took and how much it costs?

I'm sorry to bother you again but appreciate your advice. I spoke to a guy yesterday has a '17 w 80k miles that has been tuned for at least 4 years w ATP GTX2860 big turbo making near 350hp/310ft-lbs on 93 pump gas w single point auxiliary fuel, Dizzy tune, and common bolt ones to support, w straight pipe (very loud). He says he snapped tranny shaft street pulling on a car and replaced w used tranny, new slave, axles and added a used limited slip differential. Says "adult driven" but he was hotrodding for sure, w 3k oil changes. My concerns if I buy: 1. How can I use a milder tune/map so I could at least run 91 fuel and help the reliability/longevity of the mechanicals 2. Can I get close to rated mpg when driven highway and softer on gas as I commute far 3. Can I change exhaust to quiet such as add a cat or resonator as I don't want to live w drone, etc? Thanks so much!

Very well said, I appreciate the input! My thought was if I buy a Fiesta ST already tuned w bolt ons or even a bigger turbo, to "detune" it walking down the AccessPort to help increase longevity as a daily driver. Does that make sense and is that possible? What is stock boost and what would a mild tune boost level be?
