DrTroy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance.. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Rev-up also as Variable inlet and exhaust valve timing and revised pistons all 350 Zed engines have variable valve timing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Rev-up also as Variable inlet and exhaust valve timing and revised pistons all 350 Zed engines have variable valve timing 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.

I'll let you off on that one Think i am right Tim, read it somewhere But definate difference in valve timing/ electronics, revised pistons, heads.

Trev-the-Rev Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yes it does - different cams as well. Don't forget the different interior as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagar Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 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. 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the extra weight (where it comes from I don't know!) negates the real performance imporvement you'd expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
