Visual difference between Rev-Up and non Rev-Up
Visual difference between Rev-Up and non Rev-Up
I have the opportunity to purchase two 'salvaged' VQ35DE based cars. The person who has them now knows nothing about them as far as specs and performance.
I believe they both have Rev-Up motors, but I am not certain. They are both 2005 G35 coupes and both motors have cam covers that look to have 4 cams in them. On my '04 non Rev-up my cam cover only looks to have two cams in it (one circle per side, as opposed to two circles per side on the salvaged cars.
Is this a reliable way to spot a Rev-up motor?

OP....you are correct. The revup has different cam timing gear covers. the cover looks like it is hiding 2 circles as opposed to 1. here's a pic of the front timing cover of a revup.

lawndart,
KP said coupes because he was referring to the G35 coupes. Actually, ALL 6mt G35s (coupes and sedans) got the revups - starting in 2005. The 6MT sedan had the revup in 2005-2006. The 6MT coupe had it from 2005-2007.
I love that pic. I'll like it even if I ever build this motor.

^^ Good idea. Whats the redline of the Rev-up motor?
I should have at least one of the cars today, if not both of them. One of the cars is missing some glass, so if it continues to rain today I won't get that one.

Revup has the redline at 7000 rpm.
Remember that revups were only put into '05 6MT G35C, autos had non revup engines.
Oh, and both non revup VQ35DE and revup VQ35DE have 4 cams, those are DOHC engines.
