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

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
