millers Member 113 Member For: 16y 11m 16d Posted 20/09/09 10:54 AM Share Posted 20/09/09 10:54 AM since when is the rev limiter set to 5500? should be closer to around 6200as for the cutting out I have recently had the same thing. I changed coils, plugs and fuel filter then finally changed the fuel pump and havent seemed to have an issue since. mine was leaning out quite badly in top end though (stock tune and not doing it every time) and sometimes stuttering at idle.take it to a proper mechanic for servicing and get it on a dyno to check AFRs Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61750-engine-cuts-out-on-5-half-revs/page/2/#findComment-934867 Share on other sites More sharing options...

millers Member 113 Member For: 16y 11m 16d Posted 21/09/09 12:54 AM Share Posted 21/09/09 12:54 AM just double checked some of the stock tunes have here. BA1 and BA2, auto and manual, turbo and NA all have the rev limiter set at 6200 not 5600. the only ones that are different are the ones that have been tuned.

Normally the rev rev limit is increased from 5650rpm to 620rpm after heavy duty valve springs are fitted.I see in your signiature under mods, you have valve springs listed, did you get them fitted or did you purchase the vehicle like that?

Real Posted 24/09/09 12:26 AM Share Posted 24/09/09 12:26 AM Took mine for a spin to see where she clunks out at...Hit about 6200-6300 in-between probably before rev limiter kicked in...It’s a BA MKII custom tuned and runs a T56 gearbox...As for my rally and racing experience I wouldn't be recommending getting your revs that high for gear changes!Keep it on about 5k and you will find the next gear level will come on stronger with boost than hitting 6200 which will cause your engine to dip in revs and try 2 come back harder putting a hell of a lot more strain on your engine.. everyone has their theory’s but that’s mine and it always works for me!

Each of mates xr8 and xr6t mk1 I moded for them all had 5650 rpm rev limiter before the tunes, the xr8 went to 6200 after the tune, same with the xr6t but we changed the valve springs first.
