haha that's funny. My stockish RB25DET cuts the fuel around 7000rpm :D but i guess it's A) safety and B)pointless to go harder as the stock turb is outta breath by then anyway.

Does it sound good over 8000rpm? I reckon it would be as angry as a Type R, hopefully angrier with an extra two pistons spinning around.

Yeah no point reving them that hard when they are stock.

They sound fair quiet on boost but once it gets up about 6,000 rpm and above you can hear the engine struggling and whining.

But again I haven't rev'd it that hard too many times so haven't taken much noticed.

I'd rather hear it on limiter!! :P

From what Roy has said im pretty sure his has seen 8500 on numerous occasions!

And its not like his motor is lightly tuned either.

BUt prob wait till he comes in and drops his 2c :D

But i feel the same as well as you guys... I remember going to Launch my car once and i forgot to put it in gear :S

I dont know what it revved to but it did make a odd noise, like not something breaking and not flutter and not my BOV... Motor still seems A-OK though!

Hahaha revving it on idle to 8,000 rpm odd wont cause damage if its just there and back. But constantly holding it there, or under load say in gear it will cause some damage, but depends on the situation I guess, and things such as tune.

Yep also keen to see what Roy has to say. I know he revs his motor hard on occasions but that’s tuned motor. I need more feed back on a stock motor :P

i've hit the limiter a few times. it just cuts out all power. just back off abit and get back on it.

mines a std rb20det auto with std ecu and my safc reads about 300rpm lower then what the tacho reads.

7992 is where my factory limiter was (according to my old R-FIT) So 7,800 sounds about sopt on.

Yeah thats what I thought.

If it kicked in 7,800 rpm that would be awesome!

Std rb20's with the rev limit raised to 8900 love the limiter all day long.

ps wolf ecus are shit for an rb application.

pfc remap ftw

Any reason why WOLF is shit? Would be keen to hear the explanation behind that.

After market ECU's are only as good as the tuner, that goes for any ECUs including PFC and REMAPs.

8,900 rpm is way to high, maybe if its been modified and tuned.. but still why the fk would you rev it to 8,900 rpm?

LOL...my engine is a $600 short motor from EKW, it was built by Nissan and tuned by a built fella. But the motor is std.

As for rev limit, i would stick with about 7,000rpm and i am confident the thing will last a lifetime. If the thing doesnt breathe that well up high and drops off power, then dont rev it...it hurts your acceleration and the engine needlessly

Some thinking of mine about abusing RB20s :wacko:

Dont rev the engine harder then you need to in order to fall into the meaty range of the power band on a gear change. Make sure your fuelling and ignition is on the money at the higher rpms and the engine isnt pinging. Also, make sure you are not getting your water or oil temps too high (water 95deg C and oil 100 deg C) To some that may be low but when i see those temps i tend to back off the motor and drop the revs well back to let it all cool down.

So, that all said. I have used 8,600rpm (According to PFc handset) and 1.5bar of boost in my engine. Its a credit to my tuner and the reliability of a std motor at 260rwkws. I typically run a rev limit of 8,000rpm and around 1.3bar.

You can see in the attached graph which shows rpm that even with a reasonable sized turbo the power does fall off at 7,000rpm

gallery_462_50_8431.jpg

So i am to keep my car's revs between 5,500 and 7,000rpm as it never drops below 240rwkws. So at motorkhanas i bounce off the rev limit a fair bit as i am in 1st. Occasionally in 2nd gear. At the track i generally touch the limiter if its a slow corner and 2nd gear as i need to wait that moment until road speed actually catches up with wheel speed (touch of wheelspin)

But apart from that i generally shift up at around 7,300rpm when into 3rd and 4th gears etc etc. When at Sandown and Winton there are a few corners where if i give 2nd gear hell the cars gearing allows me to avoid a gear change and get great drive / power on exits. So when at Winton and Sandown i will up the rev limit to 8,600rpm and i get damn near it on my 2nd to 3rd shift, occassionally hitting it if i get a bit of wheelspin. But at a place like Phillip island where its all 3rd gear stuff and higher i tend to only rev it to a bit over 7,000rpm before changing gear.

So, yeh they rev nice and handle the revs and boost well. But as i want this motor to last as long as possible so i can find out how much abuse and power it can make ...i do tend to apply some logic to how i drive the thing...though most ppl think im just a butcher :(

This is 8,600rpm (maybe 8,800 cant remember) and 1.3bar

and a lets

    • 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.
