Hey guys/girls....there maybe one...

anyway. My ER34 is off the road for 3 months..along with my driving habits (guess why *cough*), Im wanting to make my engine alot more revvy (not so much past 7/8k) buy more from idle - redline speed.

Im already working on Lightweight flywheel + Carbon tailshaft + lightweight rims, and general weight removal throughout the car.

Just want to know engine wise, what can I do to make my engine rev alot faster.

My goal is 220RWKW, with as much reponse, torque etc i can get out of it. Its for the touge, the touge, the touge. So my biggest enemy is turbo lag.

I already have:

(although barely any of this is to do with engine response/revs)

3" Exhaust, Bride bucket seat, Carbon bonnet, coils.

Get a super responsive turbo, like the APEXi RX6 B. I have friend here with a S2 GTST with a RB 25 and that turbo, it moved like crazy. what i would suggest is getting your rotating assemly lightend, crank machining, lighter pistons, lightened pulleys, a good damper. get some cams to make the midrange - high end power, get a ECU that can control your VVT, thats about what i can pul out of the hat for you.

reduce the reciprocating mass

so, as you said lightened flywheel, carbon tailshaft

also, im not sure if you can get lightweight pulleys for the rb25, but if you can, get some

are you rebuilding the engine internals?

Want revs huh? Just drop a PFC in it and set the rev limiter to 12,000rpm :laugh: Your engine will love you for it...

Nah seriously,

* Pod

* Turbo Upgrade (hi-flow?)

* Cams

* ECU

* Fuel Setup

I wouldn't be too concerned with the weight reduction stuff... if you're aiming for 220rwkw; you'd be able to piece a setup together that will enable you to pull enough power to move that mass.

if you are serious, which i dont think you are then

strip the boot interior

strip the rear seat interior

change the rear diff gears

heavy duty clutch

powerfc & boost kit & tune

hiflowed turbo

split dump exhaust

fuel pump

cold air intake kit

fmic

suspension complete overhaul (to get the power down)

-shocks, bushes, camber, castor for all 4 corners & pineapples for the rear

good rubber with suitable pressure

The question he is asking is quite a good one.

Notice he said 'not so much past 7/8k but, from idle to redline?

He's not trying to rev the motor to 14,000rpm. The goal is 220rwkw as a peak value.

Cover;

Reducion in rotational mass

Increasing the average power across the desired rpm range,

Reduction in total mass (power to weight)

and finally optimised gearing

is a short answer.

The power goal you have is sensible but, one last thing is getting an optimised response monster's power to the ground. You will need to look at tyres and suspension too.

PM for some more info if you like.

Keep the clutch pedal depressed - I find the engine is extremely responsive to revving by doing this. :)

lol, i had that happen, it was amazing ;)

Anyhow, on topic, if you read the sticky FI Guide, you'd come along to this thread which covers more than just the topic at hand, but more surrounding issues aswell.

And old thread, but still a very very good one, so read the whole thread

:ninja:

If you do decide to go for a rebuild, as well as getting lightened internals you might want to up the compression as well.

You only need low compression for big boost - if you're running low boost then a higher compression won't matter so much, but you'll pick up more power and response. Especially off-boost.

I don't know if it'll make the engine more willing to rev to redline, but it will make the engine pick up in the midrange (which is what you want for touge).

havent yet sky 34, just working towards it.

Rear of boot + rear seats/ rear interior are gone.

rear speakers are gone, passenger door internal pannels are gone,glove box is gone.

So would anything like cams/cam shafts help response?

If i did get a hi-flo, i wouldnt want too much that would increase lag.

ATM im more wanting to work on engine response throughout the rev range.

Gear ratio/diff ratio sounds awesome too.

i think what i want is the engine to rev faster, even if in neutral. i'd like to work on the engine to learn more. love to rev from idle-7/8k in 1 second... mmmmm F1 response.. u know what i mean..

i hope.

thanks for the other suggestions, open to more. will be looking at that thread as suggested.

to blip the throttle in neutral, you need to lighten pulleys, flywheel etc, remove anything draining on the engines spin eg. the A/c and perhaps rebuild with lighter, fully balanced internals. I doubt it would be anything like what you are finding in gt4 though...

if you want to do it in gear, you need everything as above, but more power too. It can only rev as quick as it pulls.

or buy shit rear tyres

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
