Default How Do I Tell If I have a Rev-Up Motor when I did a 2005 motor swap?

I have a 2003 350z track, and I swaped my motor with a 2005 350z (unknown model) I understand some 2005's had the rev up motor? Is there a way to tell if my 2005 motor is one or not?

I cant do these tricks since my car was originaly not a rev up being a 2003, but possibly could be now..?

The red line on the tachometer trick won't work

What other ways?

if you hooked it up to your non-rev ECU and it cranked up then you have a non-rev. The rev-up has extra cam solenoids that you would have seen during the swap.

Post a picture of your front timing cover as well....if it matches your old one you have a non rev. They are very different timing covers.
