Yessir, its used to prevent damage to the engine

Ok sorry for the dumb question so it won't effect the car wen I do a launch on the car cuz wen I rev it stops at 4500rpm n sounds like a mini 2step some guy was telling me tht not all newer si have this!? Tell me if his wrong lol

If you dump your clutch at 4500 you'll be just spinning your tires. Why would you need it to go higher than that at a launch?

Daam even wen is on neutral it only go's only up to 4500rpm but only wen I hit V-TEC it go's all the way to red line

In neutral my 2012 si coupe just reved to 7k. Scared the cap out of me. My 2006 si coupe would only rev to 4500.

My 2012 Si didn't come with any launch limiter, I think that started with 2013. I do know that you can change it to whatever you want in flashpro

Yes , you are correct. My 13 did it , before flashpro. Now its been lowered to 3200 rpm. It doesnt sound as good but it is better for my launches at the track.

The 2013 and 2014 Si has a rev limiter at 4500 rpms when you are in neutral and stopped. Its there to prevent damage to your engine as freewheeling it can damage it. The 2012 does not have this feature and instead will rev to fuel cutoff which is 7200 rpm.

I own a 12 Si and never payed attention to the rev limiter until I installed bolt ons and flashpro. I thought there was something wrong with my car after bolt ons when I tried to rev it up. I just dont know if it started before or after FP.

That's a new feature then, my 8th gen revs to 7k in neutral
