Hi guys.

i have just installed my new poncams into my s1 r33 gtst, and i was wondering what is a safe rev limit i should set the motor at?

its running acl race pistons and eagle h beam rods with arp studs thru out.

im running a n1 oil pump with jun collar, and all balanced etc

the car has a gt3540r-iw and also is a auto.

what are peoples thoughts on a safe limit?

before cams 317kws and rev limit set at 7300rpm

cheers

Darren

so is 8000 a reliable setting for longevity?

and yea i was thinking of adjusting to suit the power curve. where does that normally drop off with poncams in a 25?

mate

on a hydralic lifter varies

put it onto the dyno and see where your power drops out

but dont rev it over 8500

if you want the lifters to last longer rev no more then 8000

if you run solid lifters

9500 rpm

^^ as above.

I ran 8200 for that reason. My head was in brilliant order, so it was very fresh. Hence i got away with it all on the stock gear.

Some gus get valve float and lifters not so happy etc. Others dont.

Its really dependant on the condition of your head and how much buggery you give it over how long.

I run to 7800 rpm

Stock engine, stock heads, Poncams B

GCG highflow.

Power is 240rwkw from 6500 to 7500 then the power slows off. Peaks at 250.

sorry to use ur thread dangerman4 but dont want to double up, i just got my power fc last night and the rev limit was set a 6900rpm, im assuming thats too low reading all the posts, i just didnt want to raise it as its just stock internals atm. So if i raise to 7800rpm should be good??

I would be doing that first high rev on a dyno for safety sake. I'm at 7500. Maybe I should raise it. I think my power would drop off though. Turbo out of puff I think.

Our Track 25 runs to 8500 on a totally stock head.We had a sponsors day today and this car ran all day long at 8500 and this head has done 5 years track duty even winning the state title a few years ago.

This year is the first season it had forged pistons and eagle rods,ran all those other years on a totally stock import 25 even the season it won the championship.Now has Eagle rods,Arias pistons,N1 pumps,Tomei head gasket with Wolf ECU.Who said 25s are no good.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
