Burning smell after a pull

[HondaFan777]

22 civic hatch st 1.5t 6mt is Ktuned, RMM 90A, SRI & snorkel. I run 94 supreme and only ran 91 since brand new. Currently sitting at 80xxx. I’ve driven this car hard plenty of times before tuning and never any hint of smell. And now it’s tuned this is the second time a smell has been noticed after a short pull. Oil was dark and fuel smell, coolant was low. No leaks ever noticed and guard under engine was always clean with no sign of leaks

I am betting your are smoking that clutch on that tune. For Si that's one of the first mods you do once tuned. ST hatch is not much different in that it also has a weak clutch.

Oh yeah!! Got it all figured out and replaced. My first time ever smelling burnt clutch. And like I’ve never had clutch issues on any of my shit boxes so I had no clue how a messed up clutch felt like. But yes I was only 2600 rpm when I stepped on the throttle in 5th gear and next thing was a bang. Tune was acting up and when I went back to check the data log and my turbo psi ended up hitting 33.5. So something was up with my actuator aswell not getting a solid connection making the psi drop and spike

Yea our clutches are criminally weak compared to the R. Upgrading that and the intercooler are essentials for any Honda

Jesus christ if you hit 30+ your head probably lifted as well. Better check for the milkshake in your oil.
