Tuning success with the 08 civic type r FD2?

[Rikaro]

I'm currently trying to tune this car right now on S3 tires. My car is pretty much modified with everything, except for stage 2 and 3 na tune, turbo, cat, exhaust manifold and a street exhaust instead. Running at 271hp right now and it seems like there's really nothing I could do to improve my timing on Tsukuba at 1:01. To give it a comparison, a stock '10 sti with S3 tires would run a faster time.

Do any of you have any luck making it sub 1 minute on Tsukuba? I don't want more power than I have right now already.

Hey another FD2 owner. I currently also have the same car tuned with about 260hp, Sport Hard, 1260kg (only got the lightweight windows), it's running about 1:04.5 at Tsukuba.

Back on topic, theres a tune by RKM on this forum a short while ago. Their version of it has a turbo installed on it and has about 390hp, so the suspension should be able to handle 271hp with ease.

Good luck with a sub 1 minute lap time. 👍

I've run RKM's tune on my FD2 without the turbo at around 300hp and it absolutely tears up Tsukuba. I can only imagine how much stickier it'll be at 271!
