Check out the April 2010 issue of Modified Magazine for an in-depth review of the AccessPORT for the Civic Si. Modified tested an un-tuned 2006 Si with mild bolt-ons to see what an AccessPORT tune could do for your Average Si owner. The car was tested on the dyno in stock, OTS stage 1 trim, AccessTUNER Race owner modified street tune and finally AccessTUNER Pro tune performed by SG Motorsport. The results were impressive with gains being made every step of the way with the ProTune making the most power. The issue is on newstands now, find it at your local newsstand and add it to your library of mandatory tuning literature!
