Has anyone gotten up to 10,500 rpms on the E6K in the advanced mode ? , what happens up there ? , does the engine just die or are there fuel / ignition cuts or does it just stop accelerating ?.
I am presently at 9000 rpm , and would like to get up to 10,000 and then maybe 10,500 ( depending on what happens at that ECU limit) . I would have liked to take it up to 11,000 though , I may have to change the ECU to get that extra 500 RPM !!!.

 

The motor will continue to run till it blows!
It will just run off the 10.5k map. You won't be able to tune it above that. If you change the setup in the haltech to read every 1000 rpm you can tune to 16K rpm.
If you're using an internal reluctor type trigger then it's not that accurate above 10.5k with the Haltech.

 

yes the ECU can work that high but I would be interested in why you believe you need to rev the engine this high. this puts alot of stress on the engine and unless it has very extreme porting it may not be of any benefit. run the engine on a dyno to give you an idea of peak and sustained HP. there is no need to regularly rev the engine beyond peak power levels. I have seen a few PP engines that tend to sign off over 10K. do some research before you rev it to the moon, it may not be necessary.

 

I run a half bridge so I know the powerband would be higher , I am not sure how much higher I may have to go , I intend to go on the dyno and work from there but I just want to have an idea of what would happen when I get up to the RPM limit.

 

I don't want to switch to reading every 1000 rpm , because resolution and accuracy is way more important than running high RPM's.

 

no need to run a half bridge past 9500 or 10k

 

I agree. I thought the point of a half bridge vs a full bridge was for gains in the lower/mid rpm range. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Then swap to an E11...
It runs up to 15,000RPM, and you select the RPM points you want to map - default is every 500RPM.

The E6K is only limited to 10,500RPM every 500RPM or 16,000RPM every 1,000RPM. I don't see what the big deal with the reduced resolution, since the interpolation works very well.

Correct. It's a half-way meeting point, or compromise, in getting better mid-range and high-end power whilst still retaining a moderate level of streetability and low-end throttling. I haven't thoroughly tested any of my half-bridgeported setups past 8200rpm or so so I'm not sure how much more efficacious it is or how high of RPM's it will go much further. I would suspect mid to high 8000's breathability wise but who knows ....

I am now running at 9000 and it still wants to go further , It hits the limmiter in 1st gear in seconds!.I think 500 or 1000 more may be a good poin to stop.

 

just because the engine revs to 10,000 rpm doesn't mean it is making peak power there. good to check with a dyno to see just where the power is in the rev range. no need to beat the engine up just to rev it beyond its usefulness.

 

I agree , I intend to get to a dyno soon , but i want to try to have things set up properly just in case I decide to get up there.

 

is this a turbo car or a n/a car?

 

Everyone's porting is different!
On my motor it's pulls all the way to 9000 on a street ported 13B-REW with the stock intake manifold. On the dyno the power never dropped until 8700 and it was only down by 20 hp at 9000. The power was flat from 7000 to 8500. I saw crispeed take it to 9000 in 4th gear and the speedo was around 160mph! It never even felt like it stop pulling then.
