A professional Stage 1
Honda Civic LX
tuning will run you around $150 an hour, for a process that will take at least 2-4 hours.
Take a look at this table, which explains what happens at different tuning stages:
Tuning stage
What’s accomplished
Stage 1
An analysis and programming of the engine’s computer (AKA engine remapping) to optimize performance along with your exhaust/air intake systems; most of the time, no hardware is installed.
Stage 2
New hardware is installed, such as new exhaust and air intake systems (or parts of these systems).
Stage 3
At this point, the process becomes very customized. Your tuner will look at other systems in the car, such as fuel injectors, suspension, and brake systems so that their performance is optimized.
The Honda Civic is, hands down, one of the most popular project cars around. Not only do Civic owners find them fun to customize, they’re also relatively inexpensive. However, don’t be surprised if a professional Honda Civic LX tuner charges several hundred dollars for a tune.
