Was in my buddies 2015 GT3 , not mine because I have it sitting prettty getting ready for PPf, lol, but he was racing a buddy with a turbo’ed Supra, and he down Downshifted 2 times on roll on’s in 3rd gear and shifted to 2nd and limiter hit and the good old PDK did its thing ( thankfully because he is a ****ty driver! It got us to thinking , anybody know what rev range will show on a rev report if rev limiter is hit off track? I know on track you can get rev range 3, 4 if a wheel lifts off the ground in a turn, etc., and that’s pretty much the only way. But on street let’s say a typical downshift from any gear and you go over 9K not paying attn ( like him today) but it upshifts for you After rev limiter kicks in without a tire coming off the road, will that just rev a range 1? Can you even get a range 2 or 3 or higher tires if tires are on the ground and on a straight away? I know everyone says you can’t have “money” shifts with the PDK But if they were truly accurate then the reference reports that we get wouldn’t have 1, 2, 3... Thoughts ?

Are you asking just because your bored?

Don't have an answer as my GT car is pretty new to me and have never run a DE report but I have wondered the same as I drive mine in manual 99% of the time and have screwed the pooch banging up against the rev limiter a few times when playing and I also hit the wrong paddle once or twice and effectively did what your buddy did but just on accident (this is my first PDK car).

mikey997

exactly, most people have screwed the pooch here and there shifting in manual mode, thatS what made us start talking about it. I think he was concerned about it for when he would probably run into the finger follower issue In the future at some point, a potential engine replacement, and there’s a few rev range 3 or whatever that my produce if you do a screw the pooch shift even if it’s only for a few seconds before you Up shift, what would that register as? We just don’t know what rpm in manual mode it’ll run to if you do a bad downshift. There’s got to be some sort of rev range limit on the ECu report where they will not cover under the 10 year warranty Extended warranty. It goes back to my original question, if you’re not lifting a wheel off the ground in a turn or on ice, can you really go above our range 1 ?

mikey997

yes, but still no answer...I’m surprised that nobody on this board would know the answer to this. Where is all the tech gods when we need them? LOL

PDK won't downshift knowingly into an over rev condition even if in manual mode. It is designed to prevent exactly the type of mistake that you are describing.

Because your question is academically pedantic, at best, and practically irrelevant, at worst.

Because as @Pyrat2 said up above, PDK is designed to foreclose the possibility you raise.

If you have the car in sport/manual and run it to the rev limiter you can get range 1 hits and a few range 2 hits. I did it in my 15 but not my 18.

mikey997

This is not accurate, as Alan C stated above, you can get ranges 1, 2, and even 3 with a PDK, obviously or people wouldn’t have reports with Range 1, 2, and 3 ....I guess the question if you dig deeper is if you do a money shift and you’re in manual mode, will it automatically up shift for you quick enough to avoid a range 2 or a 3?
