Got a 34 gt-t with about 90,000 kms. Got a microtech in and with the way it's tuned at the moment i'm getting good power from when the turbo spools up (4000rpm) to redline (7000rpm). However the gain in power between 6000 and 7000 is unreal. A friend (300zx owner) tells me it is common to increase the factory redline and after reading a couple of threads it appears this is the case. Which interests me as i'd like to extend this power range.

So basically I'm asking if i can increase the redline, and if so, what's a safe limit.

R34 gt-t

Stock rb25det neo

650cc injectors

600hp garret turbo

hybrid intercooler

bosch fuel pump

splitfire coils

greddy intake manifold

3 inch dump with 3.5 inch rest of exhaust

Basically everything without touching the internals. Currently running 308 rwkw on 18 psi boost. If you need more info let me know.

Any opinions are welcome.

Cheers

After my car was tuned i noticed my rev limit was set to 7500rpm.

I dont hit the limiter often,it might happen when boost comes on in first and my foot is on the floor but i normally change before then anyway.

But to be on the safe side i might lower it to 7200rpm.

I rev mine to 7800 rpm, it starts to run out of puff by then anyway. I do however run a set of cams. Standard bottom end.

Maybe with that turbo you might try dropping in a set of sticks, make the power a bit earlier and not have to rev so hard.

308 rwkw might be leaning on the bottom end a bit, but R34s do run GTR rods, so maybe not as much as we think.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
