Speed limiter does not work in 6th gear

The speed limiter does not work in 6th gear.
The limiter works in all other gears.

Hondata, please analyze the attached calibration and datalog to determine the cause for this error.

The calibration used is the Civic-Si-RRB-2-Tuned with the speed limit changed to 55. Note that the valet calibration provided (Civic-Si-RRB-4-Valet) exibits the same problem.

The speed limiter is also dependand on RPM and the RPM point is not adjustable. The speed limit adjustability was designed to increase the speed limit and not reduce it. 70 is about the lowest you can limit the speed to.

Hondata,

Are you stating that you will not/cannot support the advertised valet profile/feature?

This is the primary feature for which I purchased the Flashpro. If you cannot support this feature, which is advertised both on your site as well as in the profiles provided with the product, I want to return the product and receive a full refund.

Please let me know if you can/will resolve the speed limiter feature, or if I should proceed with returning the product.

We advertise that the speed limiter can be removed.

Perhaps it would be better to state your exact requirement and rational for the product and we can see if it will meet your needs.

For a valet mode I'd suggest a boost cut and/or rpm limit would be far more effective than a 55 mph speed limiter - but it seems your requirement or reasoning is not for a pure valet mode.

I guess if I had the option I would use a combination of the two. I took my car for service one time and it kinda sucked becuase I flashed it before I left and I set the limiter to 3000 rpm. Didn't need a boost cut becuase I don't make boost til 4000 anyway.

Since the civic has such short gearing it's hard to stay below 3 grand during normal driving and I didn't like how the rev limiter felt or sounded so I would've liked to raise it but if I did raise it to say 4k but then that would be a bit silly for valet because you would be able to go 80mph give or take in 6th.

If you could lower the speed limiter to say 30 mph but allow the rpms to go higher that would be cool.

I wasn't gonna nag about it but just saying. I lOVE MY FLASHPRO.

I would say to the OP you should just give your flashpro back for causing a stink and being a douche. I wouldn't even give you a refund.
