VQ35DE Rev Up

Recommended Posts

Hi does anyone know how you can tell if you have a VQ35DE Rev Up engine instead of the VQ35DE. Have a 2006 06 GT 350Z.

 

I dont have LED lights etc, and it would seem I have a 06 before they did a version change.

 

According to http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/What_engine_do_I_have%3F it would suggest I have a Rev Up?

 

Many thanks in advance..

 

Non-rev up :)

Going on that info i would say that you don't have the rev-up engine. That was first introduced in this country on the GT4, after that they were put in the 2006 cars but these normally had led lights. Its called the rev-up because it revved slightly higher 500 rpm i think and produced 20 bhp more. :thumbs:

Is that the only difference?

 

So if we could find a way to increase the rev limiter by 500 rpm on a standard VQ35DE engine it would give us the 300bhp the GT4's and MY06 cars have? Everything else is the same?

No that wont work ;)

 

Rev-up also as Variable inlet and exhaust valve timing and revised pistons ;)

all 350 Zed engines have variable valve timing :thumbs:

 

Yes but only on the inlet on the 276bhp engine? where it was on the inlet and exhaust on the 296bhp engine, hence the slightly different sound. ;)

Think i am right Tim, read it somewhere :blush: But definate difference in valve timing/ electronics, revised pistons, heads. :thumbs:

Not to mention the extra weight of the mods resulting in a power to weight ratio the same as that of the non Rev Up cars. :)

 

Don't forget the dodgy alloys that crack off too!

 

That info is incorrect and off topic ;)

hehe, when I was selling my zed I took a 296 version out and it certainly reved and pulled stronger than mine (which was no slouch either), the exhaust timing really helped the revs climb quicker (it felt)

I know what you mean, they do feel like they should be quicker. But the extra weight (where it comes from I don't know!) negates the real performance imporvement you'd expect. :wacko:
