To fix it, all you need to do is set the ON and OFF RPM very close to each othern (with 50RPM). Or even set them to the same value. This will make the rev limiter softer and more usable. I suspect the calibration team at Subaru decided to set up the stock rev limiter to be feel violent so that it wouldn't encourage drivers to stay up there 
FWIW, in our off-the-shelf Openflash maps we reduce hysteresis to 150RPM. Easy to change if you want something softer. |
Is there anyway I can change this on my setup, with some downloadable software? I already have a flash and a cable, as I've gone FI recently.
Don't really want to have to go into the dealer to make these adjustments; if that is what you're suggesting; which I'm fairly sure you aren't.
