Honda & Acura turbo sample Tune Report

Honda & Acura turbo 1.5T sample: 2018 Civic EX-L Sedan, file and log

A real report format, built from a 2018 Civic EX-L Sedan 1.5T FlashPro test order. This is the turbo section of the Honda & Acura hub, not a port-injected K20/K24 sample. The calibration and the log are test data. No customer file is used.

Your goal

Check the tune before adding more load.

The report starts with what you asked about. The calibration and the log are read before any paid change.

The short answer

The file reads cleanly. The log shows four items to check before adding load. Boost did not follow the request closely. Measured fuel differed from the command under load. Knock retard was present, and one fuel trim was large enough to review. The grade is B because the log does not cover every load check.

Calibration: Civic 1.5T test read. Log: FlashPro test log. Both are test data.

Findings

What the calibration and the log show, in the order we would check it.

Watch

Boost did not follow the request closely

What the data shows. Peak boost pressure was 22.4 psi against a 23.0 psi command. The largest gap was 1.8 psi over and 15.7 psi under across the loaded rows.

What we would do. Check the boost control plumbing, the pressure reference and the sensor scaling before changing a target. A command the turbo cannot follow is not fixed by more duty.

Watch

Measured fuel differs from the command

What the data shows. The largest lean error was 0.250 lambda and the largest rich error was 0.056 lambda over 945 loaded rows.

What we would do. Check the wideband, fuel pressure, trims and the active corrections before editing a fuel table. A lean error in one row set is a check, not a reason to add fuel everywhere.

Watch

Knock retard under load

What the data shows. Peak knock retard was 6.00 degrees, with a peak at load of 5.00 degrees across two loaded runs.

What we would do. Check fuel quality, charge temperature, boost and the knock channel before pulling timing across the whole map. Repeat the same pull before changing sensitivity.

Watch

One fuel trim is large

What the data shows. Short-term fuel trim reached 21%. That is a correction the ECU is already applying, not a mixture target.

What we would do. Check the intake path, the MAF or MAP scaling and the fuel system before treating the trim as a tune error.

Logging steps

Record a warm idle, light and medium takeoffs, a steady cruise and two or three loaded pulls in the gear you use. Include rpm, MAP or boost, throttle, commanded and measured lambda, and short and long fuel trims. Add knock retard, ignition timing, intake temperature and the FlashPro channel set for the exact family. Keep the native .fpdl and the CSV export.

State the fuel, the octane or ethanol content, the intake and exhaust changes, and the boost target in the build notes. A log without those details narrows what the report can conclude.
