What makes the Honda Accord VII special
Honda Accord VII tuning: the weakest engine gains the most
Which Accord VII gains more from a tuning box, the diesel or the petrol? Honda Accord VII tuning favours the diesel, although it has the lowest stated output of the three engines. From 2002 to 2008 the Accord VII came as the CL7, CL9 and CN1 saloon and the CM and CN Tourer; the engines were a 2.0 i-VTEC with 155 hp, a 2.4 i-VTEC with 190 hp and a 2.2 i-CTDi diesel with 140 hp.
The diesel was Honda's first of its own, and a European engine only. It had a five-speed manual gearbox until 2006 and a six-speed after the facelift of that year. The Tourer estate followed in spring 2003 with the same engines.
What each Accord VII engine gains
With the GAN GT the 2.2 i-CTDi gains 41 hp and 93 Nm. The 2.0 i-VTEC gains 19 hp and 23 Nm, and the 2.4 i-VTEC gains 23 hp and 26 Nm, both with the GAN GA+. So the diesel adds more than twice what the 2.0 petrol does, even though it starts from the lower figure.
Honda Accord VII chip tuning: questions
How much more power does Accord 2.2 i-CTDi tuning bring?
Stock, the diesel makes 140 hp and 340 Nm; the catalogue puts it at 181 hp and 433 Nm with the GAN GT. The same figures apply with the five-speed and the six-speed gearbox, and the module does not reprogram the gearbox. These are the stated gains for this engine type, not a dyno reading of your car.
What does a tuning box add to the Accord VII 2.0 and 2.4 i-VTEC?
Both are naturally aspirated and work with the GAN GA+. The GAN GA+ gives up to 12% more power, and both catalogue gains sit close to that limit.
Is Honda Accord Tourer tuning any different?
No, the estate has the same engines as the saloon, so the same figures apply.
Is a tuning module the same as a Stage 1 tune?
Not quite. Stage 1 usually means an ECU remap without replacing any parts. The tuning module also works without replacing parts, but it does not change the ECU software: it adjusts the sensor signals, comes off in about a minute, and the OFF button in the app restores the factory settings.
