Ways to 'soften' stock rev limiter?
So I finally took my car to the track today for some drift practise.
One thing I experienced for the first time (as I was a good boy during break in) is how the ecu pulls the throttle right away for a good second or so (that's what I'm assuming its doing?) when you hit rev limit. Have never experienced it before, and it is bloody awful, especially for drifting. I ended up just working around it, but would really rather not have the second o death if I can help it. Wondering if anyone has a fix? (That's not another flash/tune) local tuner doesn't have ecutek capability yet, and I have another track day on Saturday. :/ Have thought about bee-r limiter and setting this to a few hundred rpm before actual rev limit. But have just been advised ecu may detect misfiring and throw Cel. Help!! |

Yeah it sucks as most drive by wire cars use a throttle cut to control the hard rev limit. This mostly effects racers when trying to stretch a gear out.
Next to a Hydra EMS I'm not sure what else you can do since drifting tends to result in long periods on the rev limiter. |

To fix it, all you need to do is set the ON and OFF RPM very close to each othern (within 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. Last edited by Shiv@Openflash; 09-17-2013 at 03:39 AM. |

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. |

Just ask your tuner if he can make the change for you and send you a new file. Or are you just using a base file provided from Bullet? They may be happy to know how you do this and roll it out on all their tunes....

They may also need to change the manifold pressure fuel cut resume value if your boosted.

Well frankly, happy for her and the cultural melting thing, but having lived in NYC, there are way hotter Indian chics out there, fwiw.
I would have to guess there's something behind the shiv(my dads name incidentally ) and the deity derived company name? Or not? So you're an ecutek shop? I've looked at your 335 stuff before I sold that car. Good to see you here. |
