This 2008 Honda Accord with a 2.2 CDTI engine was measured on a dynamometer before the ECU was reprogrammed. The initial run produced 154 hp and 328 Nm. The DPF was already absent, so the measurement reflected the car's actual configuration.

Two calibrations were prepared after the initial test. The first, a Stage 1 version, produced 189 hp and 385 Nm. The owner could also compare a more powerful Stage 1 Plus calibration, which recorded 212 hp and 410 Nm.

Both versions were tested on the dyno to compare not only peak power but also the increase in torque. This gave the owner a measured basis for choosing the preferred setup.
