I my DE

Although the uprev probably helps.

And the oil never needs topping up between changes.

[Nivek4209]

What years were these engine,s used

De

 

De rev- up

 

HR

 

Is it easy to tell the difference when going to look at a car ??

[Ekona]

Yes, look at the redline.

 

6.5 for DE

7 for DE revup

7.5 for HR

[Lexx]

HR engine has dual air intakes. DE only has one.

[addisj]

or simply look at the bonnet. HR - bonnet bulge.

[StevoD]

LSX

[Siman350z]

Yes, look at the redline.

 

6.5 for DE

7 for DE revup

7.5 for HR

 

Is that the rev limiter or where the red starts on the dial? Reason I ask is I think my de car may have had a rev-up tune but don't know how to tell....

[Ekona]

Just on the dial.

[Lexx]

Yes, look at the redline.

You car won't have had a rev up tune.

It's called UpRev and is totally separate from the manufacturers naming of the engine.

I drive an 04 DE, so first generation engine, but the HR is a better engine, plus you get the extra goodies of better interior, sexy lights and power bulging bonnet

 

The only thing the DE has over the HR is modability. More choice in intakes, plenums and plenum spacers. However, after spending all that money on upgrading the various intake system parts, you still won't have achieved the power of the HR.

I've been told aswell that the HR can take more power on standard internals

so the only downside to ah HR is that is uses a lot of oil? My Type-R was like that and I was forever checking it. It made me paranoid!

[Rock_Steady]

best engine. slap that under your bonnet.

At this stage of the game surely all of this is hypothetical, if an engine has not had regular oil changes with the correct oil and been run on 95 RON fuel then it's a ticking bomb anyway. Dan is right to a point but I wouldn't want that horribly high oil consumption that an HR can give.

This is news to me.....I've never heard this before about the HR. I thought it was the 06 Rev-up engine that suffered from high oil consumption.

My HR has never used a drop since I've owned her!

[Lexx]

Never heard of a HR using oil.

Rev up it can be a common issue.

 

I did 40 in my HR and it never used any more oil than an average car.

[addisj]

I found this which is a pretty good thread discussing the 3 engines: http://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/410769-stock-de-vs-revup-vs-hr-vs-vhr-numbers.html

[Jetpilot]

20b rotary, sounds like nothing else on earth

 

[leebottrill]

Well as I said I've got the hr and it seems pretty nice. Always feel I could do with a bit more power...:/
