Porsche Over Revs commonly occur on Porsche 911 996 997 & sometimes 991. For Cayman & Boxster it is the 986, 987 & sometimes the 981 range.

Dude your posts are getting far too predictable now ie that device you are trying to sell and the advice you are giving is quite lame to be honest.. I have watched quite a few of your vids about ugrades that need a lot more work besides fitting yet you mention nothing?? For example lowering springs?? Ipd Plenum??
If you are going to make a video about over-rev on a Porsche, you should first familiarize yourself with how to read the print. You say how many times the engine has been over-reved. It's wrong. The number on the printout stands for the number of ignitions that have occurred in that speed range. There are three ignitions at one revolution on a 6-cylinder engine. In other words, the number 2, on range 6, cannot be correct. The sensor that measures the speed of the engine, the crankshaft sensor, only measures full revolutions. Small numbers that appear on ranges 5 and 6 are therefore considered incorrect reading. This engine is therefore most likely perfect. Do you have documentation on how many engines have failed due to over-rev? I doubt it. Have you heard of anyone at all? You are conducting erroneous intimidation propaganda with such videos, and should delete it.
i think this vid is a sales pitch
deffo just a sales pitch for the scanner
So you’re suggesting over reving an engine is a non-issue ?
Are you serious ?
So you’re in the middle of purchasing a GT3 RS and the owner mentions he really hates to get rid of it but he just couldn’t get the hang of downshifting during his weekly track days at Sears Point and was tired of watch that tach scream past the redline every other lap due to missing third and jamming it into 1st………
No worries, ma man……here’s the $224,000…….
Bullshit.
I tell everyone who is thinking about purchasing a Porsche to have an indy Porsche Shop do a Pre-Purchase Inspection done, money well spent. Also, those who are looking at TIPTRONIC and PDK gear box Porsches need not worry about over revs.
Didn't even consider that! Love my PDK, just another benefit ;-)
What's up, Satch?! Love your videos man. Thanks for your contributions to the Porsche Family.
Even if the first 2 gears do t do damage, if I saw that there were multiple over revs it would tell me the car lived a hard life and would probably run away. Just because you own a sports car doesn’t mean you have to beat it every time you drive it.
Rev ranges are not "gears".
@@Baerchenization Ok !?……..please, what is your point ?
Hi Satch. Once again thanks for the little tip. I never heard of over rev. Cheers pal.
Great video and something that did indeed slip my mind when buying my car to check! Luckily I've had it for 4 years, so I'm pretty safe to say all is OK! Although its a shame you can't check it on the 986 Boxster.
I personally do think if a car has been over in ranges 3-6 - to just walk away from the car. There are lots of different cars available to buy from imo to buy something that could potentially be a headache in the future due to this.
I have the Foxwell 510pro and can confirm that it cannot read overrevs on a 03 996 (C4S). I got mine at 50k miles and now has 98K so, if the previous owner(s) over-reved the car, it's pretty irrelevant by now in my case, LOL. Good video.
The 986 doesn't store over rev data. That aside, your understanding of rev ranges is at best flawed. While a missed shift can be problematic, unless the driver is an idiot, the sound of the engine should tell them hey, you're in the wrong gear. It is highly unlikely that exceeding the limits occasionally will do any damage. If that were the case, there would not be a single Porsche vehicle on the road today.
when is their going to be a feature uploaded which doesn't involve the promotion of this scan tool??
To Terrell C & Blaze B, have you noticed both your blank profiles have been created on the exact same day, month & year ie 2021... why would I even consider wanting to watch anything through a 3rd party site? clearly its a dodgy site & I've absolutely no thought of even wanting to try such!!
ps your blocked & reported!
Well worth remembering. Many thanks!
Great info, I will check that out on my cars now. Thanks
Nice one Al, I watched another youTuber use the Foxwell scanner to program his steering wheel upgrade on a 997.
It´s not the nr. of occurences the car hit the overrevs, but it is the nr. of ignitions the car made when it overreved, so 2 ignitions is nothing, if you imagine the total nr. of ignitions / minute...
Good information, thanks!
Hey mate long time subscriber, joined the club this year with a lovely midnight blue 997 C2S... have a question, where the best place to buy the GT3 alloys , what price we talking... liking the new 991 911 👏
This missed the 928. the 911 is the poor man's 928. the 928 won "Car" of the year - no other sports car has ever won "Car" of the year. the 928 has two production car land speed records(1986 and 2020). the 928 is the biggest bang for the buck in exotic cars as well as the entire Porsche line up.
Excellent tip!
This is a scan tool commercial disguised as an overrev count scare.
A compression test wouldn’t show if a cam chain was stretched. It would show valve damage. I never even considered this when buying a Porsche. This is way beyond the scope of your average buyer. Maybe a trusted dealer is the way to go. I’ve had air cooled 911’s for best part of 30 years and I’m looking at 997s hopefully to keep forever. And it’s a minefield I can afford a good car. But I can’t afford a bad car so I do appreciate your wealth of Knowledge. Every day is a school day. When it comes to cars. There’s never been any other car for me. But it needs to be the right car.
Just on another note.. would you know what would cause a sputter on a 1983 911 sc at about 4500rpm? We have checked the voltage regulator, the resistors at the distributor cap, the plugs, the leakage. Thanks in advance
Cool
Thanks for this :-)
hey Satch, what diag tool would you recommend for the 996?
Nice video. Does anyone know what Foxwell model, if any, will provide a DME report on 991/981 and newer vehicles.
Can I access the rev data on my Boxster 981s using an iCarsoft V2.0?
And do you know what the rev ranges are?
Thank you! 👍🏻
In the list it had ‘clear codes’, does that mean someone could erase the data if they had the same tool or does engine management always store the data. Thanks
Over revs are permanently stored.
the "Clear Codes" are engine management faults found, which can be deleted.. however most good scanners/computers & software can still see the wiped codes. these fautl codes really only highlight errors/issues within the operating system of the car.
The Porsche over-rev system is entirely different & is a permanent data type... you can remove it but that would easily be found & costly, its not a simple "push to delete info"
I would have thought porsche had car programed not to except a shift down at too higher speed
Can you do this with the icarsoft por2?
Porsche also log how many time launch control has be used
Can a PDK get overrevs? Could it happen if down shifting on the the manual paddle shifters on a PDK?
No. Can you imagine the claims if Porsche allowed a PDK box to select a gear that over-revs.
Unlike with a manual, you don't do the shifting - you just tell the car to shift and if it is physically not possible, it will not do it. But the PDK can do tricks you would not be able to do in a manual car, like instantly shift back from 7th to 2nd gear in order to rev out the last couple RPMs of2nd gear, if you hit the pedal hard ;)
Why over revs are only mentioned with Porsche cars? Never heard this for other brands
Is this a problem with the 987.2?
Is this needed on automatics (PDK), or only on manuals?
I’m wondering the same thing. Seems like this can happen only on manuals? PDK transmission should not allow that I would think
Just as one should do in any used purchase: have the car inspected by a Porsche mechanic that has the right device for your model. I bought my Porsche on impulse; but I had a good mechanic that educated me on the IMS bearing and other issues that were resolved before a catastrophic failure.
This only is important on a manual gearbox right? Or is it possible to over rev wit an automatic?
it's technically only an issue with a manual gearbox, automatic downshfts won't over rev, BUT, if you put it in manual mode (paddle shift) and down shift to an over-rev then that could cause a problem.
Hi i’ve got a Porsche, Cayenne, GTS 4.8 L. I just live in Durham if you would like to give my car a review on your channel Please let me know
My 996 will shut down the engine if over revved, I won't let a BMW go without a challenge.
What is the best diagnostic for 991.1?
I use the Foxwell NT 530 and its pretty amazing for the price
This is really interesting....I can imagine it could get quite addictive🤔
1:15 Hahahahah!
Any idea if the tool works on a 982 cayman?
My Foxwell doesn't show over rev data for my 981. 991 and 981 are usually very similar. However, the Foxwell does a great job of resetting oil & maint intervals on the 981.
No such thing

Just buy a Golf R , much simpler servicing , 4 wd and as fast . Porsches are expensive unreliable junk you would have more fun burning £50 notes in a metal bucket than owning one.
A lemon? A LEMON!? How DARE you, sir, denigrate my family name!
Wow 😒
@@rajjy1976 I'm joking, obviously.
@@logicreversed18t You forgot the obligatory 🤣🤣🤣 at the end, so as not to trigger any Woketards who don't know what a joke is these days!...
Oops, nearly forgot... 🤣🤣🤣
And second
Buy a used Porsche and a extended warranty!
Another reason the Triptonic cars are a safe bet.
Safe maybe but a manual 911 is a real treat to drive. And unlike PDKs the older autos weren't particularly awe inspiring
I’d die of boredom with a Tip...
I was thinking of purchasing a 2018 911 Carrera 4S at Auto Nation for $102,000. Now, I'm afraid too. I can get a new car and be worry-tree.
How long this phenomenal car will last until you need 15K engine rebuild? 20,000miles 40,000 miles? This is a car from the oldest car maker in the World and German Uberalles engineers still cannot make an engine that lasts 100K without complete rebuilt. Shameful.
First
Greedy......
