Hondata

Turning the factory VSA off by pressing the button for 3 secs is good. In R+ mode hold it for over 10 seconds. With VSA completely off R+ mode is better.
Reducing torque in 1st & 2nd helps as well.

I have not ventured out of the check boxed calibration area yet. I am certainly not a tuner.
more research is needed....

It is the factory VSA closing the throttle. This is because the amount of power in 1st & 2nd gears is a lot more that what the tires can cope with (and probably 3rd too). The solution is to reduce the torque in 1st, 2nd & 2rd for sport and R modes.

Here are the boxes checked.

I am glad that what i attached was helpful ...

Sounds like you are having the factory VSA kick in. Post your calibration and a datalog.


In the first data log file 00, the severe "Braking" happened. I was in R+ mode for file 00, and sport mode for file 01.

If there is a specific way to do a datalog, besides running up from 2nd gear to 3rd ...

Should I do a datalog while accelerating? thats probably a dumb question... since TC doesnt turn on standing still.....lol...

I am not that confident in my "tuning" abilities. I got the Hondata just in case I do mods later. It's nice to clear codes etc.... I also heard the TC is super awesome. So I would need to do a ton of research to figure it out.
Thank you for replying Spunkster!

Could this only be happening when the engine is "cold"
Does the car have a closed loop, until it gets to optimal temperature?

I had a 06 civic si before this and the vtec would not kick in until the engine was warmer....

It’s finally spring in Minnesota, we finally can get traction, no snow!!!
I have an FK8 2019 with base tune for 91 octane, improved throttle response and traction control.
I am new to tuning, and TC...When the traction control kicks on in either of the 3 modes, it feels like someone it hitting the ...
