Civic EP3 — Stage 2 ECU Tune
- enhanced torque delivery
- high-revving performance capability
- optimized K-series engine potential
- improved power band characteristics
- street and track performance balance
This EP3 Civic runs the popular K24 block with a K20 head—a solid foundation for naturally aspirated power without the complexity of boost. The owner added bolt-on modifications and requested a Stage 2 calibration to make the most of the hybrid bottom end and breathing improvements.
The file delivered 102 kW at the wheels with 168 Nm of torque. Not huge numbers, but honest ones for a basic K-swap with no turbo or full exhaust work. The tune focused on cleaning up fuelling and optimising timing to suit the head/block combo and whatever breathing mods were fitted.
It's a sensible street setup for someone who wanted more character than the stock EP3 offers without chasing big power or forced induction. The calibration keeps it driveable while extracting what the hardware allows.
What fuel does this tune require?
Fuel type wasn't recorded with this file. Recommend checking with your customer or defaulting to 98 RON unless otherwise specified.
Is 102 kW low for a K24/K20 hybrid?
It's modest but realistic for a Stage 2 naturally aspirated build with basic bolt-ons and no aggressive cam work or header. The torque figure suggests it's a usable street tune rather than a high-compression screamer.
What ECU platform was this tuned on?
Platform details weren't recorded with this archive entry. The EP3 likely runs a piggyback or standalone given the engine swap, but specifics aren't documented here.
