Upgrade with a Hondata fuel system. A Hondata fuel system delivers more fuel allowing more boost and higher these power levels. These CANFlex calibrations are conservatively tuned with the Hondata Fuel system for your daily driver with 400 lb/ft torque and 400 hp. More power can be dialed in by an experienced tuner on your built engine. The CANFlex calibrations add about 70 HP and spool the turbo 200-400rpm earlier with E85. The red circled Delta is the power gain. Throttle response is vastly improved.
Your Civic FK8 Type R requires jailbreaking before it can have the CANFlex calibration installed.
Your stock FK8 Civic Type R with CANFlex spools much earlier and delivers 28 more hp. Your Type R is so much more responsive and fun to drive. You can drive on anything from pump gas to E85. More power is available on a blend of E40-E50. (not tested here)
All CANFlex calibrations can be tuned by an experienced tuner for more power and torque with a built engine.
