Hey CivicXi community,
Let's dive into a different comparison between the 2023 Integra Type S and the 2023 Civic Type R. Both cars are impressive, but we've uncovered some exciting tuning differences that might give the Integra an edge in performance.
First here are some general specs...
I made this video to teach everyone the major factor in engine damage. It's not power. It's excessive torque. We have developed very safe flex fuel calibrations , (which can be tuned) to make 60-80 hp more while keeping the torque in check. Details here...
We added support for the FL5 CTR software for the FK8 fuel system. It's available via a software mod now. The stock fuel system on the FK8 was marginal. It's even more marginal on the FL5. With this, Hondata's fuel system delivers 24% more fuel. We are working on a flex fuel calibration and...
After the release of the Hondata 1.5 fuel system we were asked "what do you have for my stock Civic Si engine". We were listening, so we developed a safe E85 calibration with a flat torque curve that makes power to the redline, for use with the 1.5 fuel system. This is so much more fun to drive...
There are no plans to release a 92 octane tune. You could try the 93 octane tune and monitor the knock retard on the datalog or Hondata app. The ECU will automatically adjusts for a lower octane fuel.
Emissions. The ECU continues to fire the injectors after throttle lift off to reduce cylinder temperatures and nitrous oxides.
We've added another rev hang setting.
Rev hang race more aggressively closes the throttle and disables an overboost error.
The FL5 ECU is returned to you with the stock calibration, but with the ability to be programmed with FlashPro. It will run identically to before sending it to us.
Honda cannot tell that the ECU has been jailbroken and previously reflashed. They can tell if it currently has a non factory flash in it. There is no reflash counter or record of CVNs like other vehicles.
We have always advocated for being upfront with the Honda dealer about what you have...
You would run a 93 map. You then have the option of custom tuning. The Canadian ECU is the same as the US. Our guess is that the 94 Octane would have 10% ethanol.
We have not looked at the UK/Euro FL5 yet, but if it is like the FK8 then the tables are identical to the US vehicle but the power claims are higher. You'd have to ask Honda why this is...
The way we use maximum boost to control engine output around peak torque and then air charge at higher rpm. Otherwise it would overload the fuel pump at maximum torque. Also the dyno would surge and clamp down just after peak torque, which is not so bad, but the ECU would also see torque was...
No idea what IDC is. Fuel injectors are the same size more or less as the FK8, and are running to 33%. So a bit more headroom on the injectors. Where are you seeing the boost drop (not the rpm range; the source)?

The fuel system is maxed out. New month we will test our FK8 fuel system on the FL5.
