How many of you guy or gals have tried brake boosting, I’ve tried it it feels like the throttle just cuts out. Idk if I’m doing it wrong or what. Any tips ?

Haven't tried it so can't say if what you are experiencing is normal. It might be something set up in the ECM to recognize brake being held and accelerator being depressed together. You may want to check with the aftermarket tuners (Hondata/KTuner) to see if it's something they are aware of and if their tuner can disable it if in fact it is being controlled by the ECM.

Not sure if your question was answered, but it is a factory lockout feature that disables you from hitting the gas and brake at the same time. It's more for older folk that may accidentally press them at the same time and potentially run into a building. I have Ktuner on my car and I can confirm that Ktuner disables this feature so I can now brake boost
Interesting , Pressing Brakes10% and Gas 35% before a Run Off ~ but during a Roll to Build Boost Or
From a Stand Still ?

So I've tried both, from a standstill you can't build too much boost (0.5 bar) but rolling you can build up to 1.5 bar
Does anyone know how to enable brake boosting through Hondata?
Only K-Tuner allows that feature
I don’t believe brake boosting is a tuner programming thing. Should be able to do it on any stock car.
Stock car wont let you rev over 2,000 rpm if that before cutting out...

Even with my K-Tuner it won't go over 2,000 RPM

You need a pro tune. OTS won’t allow...
I brake boost every race (track/ street) 3000 rpm with KTuner and custom tune. Please see my YT channel FBROCK1, for demo.
