Unlock the Full Performance Potential of Your Honda Civic 1.5 Turbo

Your Honda Civic 1.5 Turbo has more performance potential than its factory ECU calibration delivers.

The KTuner V2 Flash Tuning System combines powerful ECU tuning capabilities with an integrated touchscreen display, giving you the ability to increase horsepower, improve turbo response, adjust engine performance, and monitor critical engine data directly from your vehicle.

Unlike basic ECU flashing devices, the KTuner V2 provides an all-in-one tuning and monitoring solution. Flash your ECU, switch between supported calibrations, monitor engine parameters, and record datalogs without needing a laptop connected every time you drive.

Whether you own a stock Honda Civic EX, EX-T, EX-L, Touring, or Sport equipped with the 1.5L turbocharged engine, KTuner V2 provides the tools to customize your driving experience.

More horsepower. Faster turbo response. Real-time engine monitoring. All from one device.

No aftermarket ECU, complicated wiring, or ECU removal required for supported applications.

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.

Actual horsepower gains and boost levels depend on the ECU calibration, vehicle condition, and operating environment.
