lightning g6e turbo Member 83 Member For: 14y 5m 8d Gender: Male Posted 30/11/10 11:07 AM Share Posted 30/11/10 11:07 AM Hi guys,Well I have just bought a 2008 g6e turbo about 3 weeks ago, fantastic car. I was driving home tonight thought I would have abit of a play, popped it over to performance mode but just auto still took off and she hit the rev limiter in first, has this happened to anyone else, is it normal, I would have thought if I was in the manual mode and I didn't change quick enough maybe, but this was in the auto mode, can anyone help.Thanks guys.Mick.

Tony L Member 80 Member For: 14y 7m 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 01/12/10 07:20 AM Share Posted 01/12/10 07:20 AM In my G6ET on one occasion I floored it off the line ( in drive ) and before I knew it, I was bouncing off the rev limiter. It happened so fast, scared the crap outa me, specially as the car had very low km on the clock. Now I am very careful to ease off the pedal a bit towards the top of the rev range.

lightning g6e turbo Member 83 Member For: 14y 5m 8d Gender: Male Posted 01/12/10 09:20 AM Author Share Posted 01/12/10 09:20 AM Thanks guys, yeah pretty sure it was the limiter she spun alittle just after take off ( boost coming on ) gripped up and took off then really stuttered bad at top end change of gear time, I backed off straight away she changed and just kept going no probs afterwards just back to normal cruising.I had a ba xr8 before this it only did it if I was driving manually and didn't change qiuck enough, I had it tuned so I got rid of the full cut on that one and this sort of felt like the limiter did after I had the tune done on the xr8.I've heard that these have a spark cut on full revs change of gear, not sure if that's true but I was wondering, if that's true whether that may be playing up.I don't up her that often but when I do I want to make sure it doesn't hurt itself. Maybe the back off up top is the way to go. Thanks again guys. Mick.

kartman Member 88 Member For: 15y 7m 20d Posted 01/12/10 09:24 AM Share Posted 01/12/10 09:24 AM They will bounce off the rev limiter sometimes, I'd have to check the software again but it may also be some torque reduction occuring on shift, the ecu reduces torque by removing timing on shift but if the desired reduction isn't sufficient it can turn cylinders off.

Mine has copped a fair hiding and I've never had that occur...only when dumbarse here forgot he was in manual.If it was definitely in auto (or performance auto) then it should never hit the rev limiter, and in the FG if there's a fair amount of traction lacking it will even short-change in to the next gear.As for the spark cut from memory that will kick-in with more than 50% throttle in auto, or pretty much all the time when changing manually.Oh and congrats, & !
