2016 Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo dyno Run and drag race – Video

 

With 177 hp and 190 lb-ft being recorded at the wheels, Hondata‘s Civic 1.5T proved quite a bit more powerful than the 174 hp and 162 lb-ft which Honda itself quotes. However, given that the Civic tested was fitted with a CVT transmission, returning accurate horsepower and torque numbers can prove difficult. Additionally, the car has a torque converter which can contribute to higher torque figures when measured through dynapacks.
