Syvecs Honda Civic FAQ's and Help
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Q) Can I install a different in tank pump?
- The FK8 has a basic relay on and off control for the in-tank fuel pump and can be replaced for a bigger one if needed.
- Q) How do I change calibration switches?
- You can have up to 12 calibration options which are controlled via the Up and Down button of the cruise control on the steering wheel.
- You will see which calibration you have selected with the tacho going to 2000rpm for position 2, 3000rpm for position 3 etc….
- Q) How do I activate Rolling antilag?
- By pressing the Lim button on the steering wheel.
- Q) Can I use the OBD port still to log, read codes and clear them on other ECUs on the car like ABS?
- Yes.
- Q) I have heard of the Autoblip, what is this and how does it work?
- The Autoblip is used to replicate a heel and toe action without having to do it yourself.
- In certain conditions, the throttle body will open itself while pressing the clutch to allow rpm match on downshift.
- The ECU receives the brake pressure and signal from a clutch switch and depending on the conditions you may have the blip of the throttle or not and you can have more or less blip too if you are in R-mode or normal mode.
- The Autoblip is fully customizable depending on your driving style and preferences.
- Q) Does the Syvecs have flatshift?
- Flatshift is enabled based on TPS position, RPM and clutch switch, when all the conditions are met, you will have a fuel and/or ignition cut to stop the engine to rev itself even if you’re still on full throttle
- Q) Does the OEM Traction control still works?
- No, the OEM Traction control is completely disabled and the Syvecs Traction Control takes over it
- You can still disable the traction control completely if you wish to by using the OEM Traction control switch, the light will come on the dashboard to let you know the traction control is now disabled completely
- The traction control light will also flash when the traction control is active on the Syvecs to let you know wheel spin is occurring.
- Q) Does the cruise control still works?
- Yes the cruise control still works but differently to the OEM ECU
- You will need to hold the speed at which you want the cruise control to be and then press Main on the steering wheel
- The Syvecs will then hold the speed at which you pressed the button at and hold it there, bear in mind the vehicle speed needs to be stable when you press or it won’t register it.
- You won’t be able to increase or decrease that speed with + and – switches as they are now used to change calibrations.
- Q) Does the Syvecs have launch control?
- Yes, as you probably notice, the OEM Launch isn’t the best, so Syvecs takes over to offer you a much better strategy
- The launch is fully customizable (Boost, RPM etc…) and can be activated by pressing the Autostart button
- When the light is on the Autostart switch, the launch is activated, otherwise the launch is off
- Q) Everything sounds very good but what do I lose by removing the OEM ECU?
- Syvecs have worked very hard to integrate as much of the OEM function as possible
- The only things that doesn’t work with the Syvecs Honda Civic ECU are the hill-start assist and the possibility to increase and decrease speed of the cruise control as we are using Up and Down to change the calibration.
- You will also lose the engine oil temperature on the dash but the engine does not have an oil temperature sensor and it only shows an estimation of the oil temperature.
