Integra DC5 — Stage 1 ECU Tune
- 12% power increase
- 12% torque increase
- Improved power delivery
- Improved torque curve
- Optimized fuel mapping
- Enhanced engine responsiveness
This 2001 Integra DC5 carries a K24 swap managed by a Haltech 1500 standalone, built around a naturally aspirated foundation with an intake, headers, and 2.5 inch exhaust. The calibration was developed for 98 RON pump fuel and focuses on extracting usable midrange from the larger displacement motor.
The workshop recorded 113 kW at the wheels with 205 Nm of torque. The file prioritises drivability and smooth throttle response across the lower and mid-range where the K24's grunt sits, making it a practical street setup. No forced induction, so it's predictable and responsive without the lag or heat management concerns that come with boost.
A clean swap build for someone after the K24's low-down character without chasing peak power. The Haltech platform gives room to grow if the build progresses later.
Why a K24 over the original K20?
The K24 adds displacement and torque lower in the rev range, making the car more tractable on the street without sacrificing the Honda response. It's a popular swap for daily-driven DC5s.
Is this tune suitable for track use?
Yes. The calibration is stable on 98 RON and the naturally aspirated setup is low-maintenance. Just monitor oil temps and brake fluid on longer sessions.
Can this file be adapted if I add a turbo later?
The Haltech 1500 supports forced induction, but you'd need a new calibration file once hardware is fitted. This file is naturally aspirated only.
