Can't be done with Vagcom.

[kevinz]

what? is this with a DSG?

[Dr GP]

The OP has a real problem if he actually has a 4k rpm rev limiter . A 6MT will have a 72k rpm rev limiter and a DSG will have a rev limiter somewhere between 65k and 68k rpms based on model year. 4k? WTF!

[CronicPAIN]

With a tune can be remove

I would not remove it even if its possible. Absolutely no need to

The manual will not let you rev past 4k rpm while at a stop. Also on the b8.5, rev limit on the mt was lowered as well.

i have the DSG B8. thought i saw someone say there was a way to remove it without a DSG tune. my EPL DSG tune didn’t seem to take it off.

At a stop yes. But who cares about that? OH, just re- read your post. YOU dont really want to drive the car to the rev limiter.You just want to rev the car to impress ricers! Really?? BTW,my 2010 ,2011,and 2014 (6MTs )all had rev limiters at 7200 rpms. No difference between B8s and B8.5.

more or less just wanna hear how my exhaust set ups would sound past 4k when i do more mods. Please don’t hit me with the shame of being compared to a ricer, just wanted to see if it was doable lol

How about this for off the wall. Mount a Bluetooth speaker at the rear underside of your car. Get a sound clip of a 426 Hemi, Ferrari, or whatever you think sounds best.Then play it while you are revving at the stoplight. That should get a reaction!

I have a DSG B8.5 stage II APR. My engine was recently pulled for a cam shaft replacement and now my rpms are limited to 4K too. Let me know if you get this solved.

You could always make armpit fart sounds at the Honda guys. That ought to impress them more than just revving your engine. The rev limiter when at a stop is there to prevent high rpm clutch dumps that break things.

[Z06Corey]

Theres your launch control. Put it to the floor, drop the hammer at 4k.

[24VR604]

My 2016 6MT S5 is also limited to 4k with or without the e-brake on.

[jygesq]

Why bother, you know you can best any Honda,why get involved in these kiddy game? You really do not have to proove how great your S4 is.Enjoy the drive , use your power when you have to.not to impress other juveniles!

[Bartlett]

Can't you rev to redline in neutral?

While you’re at it maybe there is a vagcom setting for a tiny penis to match the need to rev match?

Press clutch down (and hold) then LONG single press on ESP button should remove the rev limit.
Unfortunately for OP - DSG can not AFAIK

[M3_Dylan]

Unfortunately you can't change the RPM limiter in Vagcom. Second of all, taking the engine past 4k, even to redline isn't terrible for your engine. Taking the engine to the redline might shorten its life by some small degree, but that's what these engines were designed to survive and it isn't that harmful to the engine. Spending time in the upper end of the rpm band is good for engine and will help keep the head and cats free of carbon buildup.

indicator that these cars are now priced low enough used that a different demographic now owns them.

[svander]

Man this forum has gone to shit. Who gets concerned about revving Hondas... insecure much?

No. Operating the engine above 4,000 rpm should be done only in gear with the car moving and some load on the engine. Under those conditions your argument has some merit. However, nothing good comes from free revving the engine above 4,000 rpm. That is why Audi disables neutral free revving above 4,000.

Literally my same thought. Wants to do this so he can rev back at Honda's...?

Yeah, you're right. I forgot he was trying to change the neutral rev limit. There is really no reason to need to take it up there. I don't understand why most JDM cars dont have a neutral limiter and just bang off the redline in neutral. Either way if you want to show him whatsup just gap the Civic by semi-trucks
