I ran the %^$ out of my 3.4 before swapping for a 3.6 X51 and both have been perfect.

It obviously feels like there's more room up top and the limiter has been set for engine life requirements.

Not really but I do use every last rev lap after lap.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quick question for X51 guys. At what RPM does your rev limiter kick in? Thanks, Jim

POST 2Original post

right before it blows up--j/k -- Not sure havent pushed it to that point-- Mike

POST 3Original post

Tach face shows it at 7200 rpm. It's very easy to hit the limiter as the engine pulls hard all the way to the top. It obviously feels like there's more room up top and the limiter has been set for engine life requirements. I have seen the tach sail past 7200 rpm shifting just before the limiter to 3rd gear on the T4-5 straight at Laguna Seca, but I'm off the throttle when this happens.

POST 4Original post

I've noticed this behavior once or twice too and wondered whether the warranty gods see this in your computer as a type II...

POST 5Original post

Lee, I thought type II was over-downshifting and blowing past the rev limiter? FYI...I hit the rev limiter for the first time this past weekend. Not proud of it and actually down-right pissed at myself for letting it happen. It was a wierd thing. I actually think I lost time b/c of it. The limiter kicks in and the car feels like gas is starved for a split second.....total momentum killer. BTW....diggin that new pic

POST 6Original post

Yes. I was thinking the logic might be: IF the RPM's are >7200 AND there is no throttle input THEN report a type II...

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I got the answer from Loren. The rev-limiter on an X51 is 7300. The same as a standard 3.6. I wouldn't worry too much about bumping the limiter from time to time. I use mine as a shift indicator when racing. Not really but I do use every last rev lap after lap. These engines can take a lot of abuse. Thanks, Jim

POST 8Original post

I believe in the engine. I worry about people...

POST 9Original post

Agree with you on the engine and what it can take. I think I spend the entire day between 6-7K RPMs all day when I am on the track and the car seems to love it! I do as well

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dell, I think you are the "people" that Lee is worried about. Just kidding of course. I really think these engines love to be run. I ran the %^$ out of my 3.4 before swapping for a 3.6 X51 and both have been perfect. Remember, the rev-limiter is your friend. Jim

POST 11Original post

No, not Dell. The guy reading the OBD2 screen that says "you broke it, you bought it"

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It would be interesting to know what Porsche's internal guidelines are on over-revs and other stuff the computer picks up.

POST 13Original post

I think it is the PST2 that will read it not the OBD2 scanner. Either way,as Jim said, you should be fine. Now if we could just figure out a way to read and "fix" the computer without the help of the PST2

POST 14Original post

I routinely bounce mine off the limiter all the time, no big deal. When I had it in for svc, they ran the computer, no error codes at all, wierd.

POST 15Original post

Thanks for the heads up Chris.....good to know.
