Physically bypassing or disconnecting the turbo system would require extensive and complicated modifications to the engine, intake, and exhaust systems. This would be expensive, time-consuming, and potentially unreliable.

Physically disabling the turbocharger wouldn’t be the best solution. Blocking airflow or fuel would damage the unit and potentially the engine. Removing the turbo entirely would require major modifications and leave you with significant power loss even in “NA mode.”

Implementing a reliable and safe system to switch between turbo and N/A operation on-the-fly is incredibly complex. You’d need to modify various engine components, including the intake manifold, exhaust system, wastegate control, and ECU programming.

Within the 20 seconds of “learn mode,” press any button on the first key fob. The system should learn the code for this fob, and the LED should flash once.

Both cars have received good safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). However, the Civic might have a slight edge in specific categories based on the year and trim level you’re considering.

The first step is to check your car’s owner’s manual. Sometimes, there might be a specific procedure outlined for programming multiple key fobs for your exact model. This method might involve a different button sequence or include additional steps to retain both fobs’ functionality.

The car needs to be put into “learn mode” for it to recognize and accept new key fob codes. This usually involves a specific sequence of actions with the ignition key or buttons within the vehicle (refer to your car’s manual for the exact steps).

Flood damage can cause a multitude of electrical issues that can take time to surface. Corroded wires or connectors could be causing malfunctions in various parts of the engine management system.
