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

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
