KTuner V2 Starter Calibrations – 2016–2021 Honda Civic 1.5T
KTuner provides starter calibrations for supported Honda Civic 1.5 Turbo ECU applications.
| Calibration | Boost Target | Performance Features |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 0 | 15 PSI | Improved throttle response, reduced turbo lag, smoother boost delivery |
| Stage 1 | 18 PSI | Increased boost, stronger midrange torque, improved acceleration |
| Stage 2 | 21 PSI | More aggressive turbo spool, increased boost, stronger performance |
| Stage 2 Dual | Factory / 21 PSI | Factory boost in ECO mode and 21 PSI in Normal mode |
Stage 0 and Stage 1 are described by KTuner as compatible with 87-octane fuel, although premium fuel is recommended for optimal performance.
Higher-boost calibrations require careful consideration of fuel quality, engine condition, operating temperatures, and transmission limitations.
