Transmission i-Shift 0-100?

Mikkel Skovby · 31st March 2008, 08:14

Hello everybody

I am currently considering getting a new Civic (still undecided wether to go for 1,8 / 1,8 i-shift / 2,2D).

I was wondering if the 0-100 time they give for the i-Shift is in auto-mode? Is it faster if shifted on the paddles?

Is there anyone who has timed their i-Shift 0-100 in paddle-mode?

Has anyone tried tuning a car with the i-Shift, and if so, how does the transmission handle the extra power?

TTDegs · 31st March 2008, 08:31

I'm guessing that is 0-60mph, 0-100kph?

as to tuning - no one has yet found any real way of adding much (if any) power to the 1.8 engine

filter panels for the airbox, and possibly a new exhaust, but no major gains (yet)

It would be interesting to see if anyone has noticed an improvement in acceleration after the latest software install...

welcome aboard though

yes, 0-100kph. But 0-60mph times is just as fine

it does seem to have ( a bit ) more torque in lower rpm's since my vtec update, but its possible i only think that because the car is much smoother now

I don't use mine as a racer so I can't help

I have no idea how it is timed, but I am sure the car would be quicker in manual mode because you can time the up shift just as the engine runs out of revs. It shouldn't make a huge difference anyway, because I THINK that the Civic will hit 60mph in second gear, so only one change is needed.

In normal driving conditions, using manual mode, I would say that with the latest i-shift software the car is now almost as fast as one with the manual box.

TT, most times are now quoted as 0-62mph, which is.... 0-100kph, or as close as makes no odds

The car does feel faster with the new software, purely down to the fact that you don't wait for an ice age to pass whilst it changes gear

The i-VTEC manage 100 km/h in 2nd (at about 6400 rpm I think).

i was supprised to see in the civic magazine that the i-shift gear box added 2 seconds to the 0-62 time!! that is a massive difference!!

bludot · 31st March 2008, 16:43

Is that in automated mode? Or paddle shifting?

it doesn't say, it just says 0-62mph 1.8 type-s manual=8.9 - ishift=10.9. i presume it means in its fastest mode, because honda wouldn't quote one figure if its possible to do it faster!!!

GHGH · 1st April 2008, 06:36

Which means that the paddle shift from 1st to 2nd takes two seconds!
This cannot be right

- automatic mode?

ITSRICKSCIVIC · 1st April 2008, 09:10

I have the 1.8 type s i shift and my mate has a types 1.8 manual and running side by side upto 60mph/100kph their nose to nose but from 60-80 the manual is fractionaly quicker so where honda gets its two seconds from we dont know,since the i shift upgrade we have both noticed that the i shift is quicker down country lanes round tight bends the upshift and downshift is a lot quicker than it used to be , i have noticed in the past week or two the clutch appears to be slipping in damp / wet conditions will have to check forum posts to see if anybody else mentoines it.

wood0002 · 1st April 2008, 09:27

I have managed 0-60 in 7.1 seconds using the paddle shifts which when running against a manual civ seems to be quicker rather than slower.

Are we talking about mph here

Because if we are, that is going into GTI/Type R territory.

I would keep this quiet if I were you. The insurance companies think it takes over 10 sec. If they knew they might put up the insurance premiums

So the two seconds slower i-shift,is the old value from the then much slower shift in auto mode. Sounds more like it.

Mikkel Skovby · 1st April 2008, 20:45

Thanks for all the info

Might be driving an i-shift soon.

At the very least I'll go test drive one as soon as possible.

is that with a corrected speedo? or are the figures quoted by honda with a uncorrected speedo?

TTDegs · 3rd April 2008, 12:33

The official figures are real - no in car speedo involved

Home brewed figures can be real - it's possible to buy the right bits of kit

But even if using the optimistic Civ speedo, the extra 4 or 5mph needed to get to a real 62mph isn't going to take a huge amount of time longer.

Ot maybe find a piece of road that is a slight downward slope....
