So before the flaming begins hear me out. Everyone throws a big hey day of just swap over the entire engine...but why? Minus an oil pump and stronger rod bolts and leaky piston rings, a different lower intake manifold, and of course heads, wiring, ecu, 02 sensors, and gauge cluster. I've also heard abs computer but I can confirm that. Then the tranny.
So
Ecu~300
Wiring harness~200-400
Heads ~200-600
Front timing cover ~100-300
Rear timing cover ~50-150
Wideband o2s x 2 ~400
Vtc solenoids-same
Nats removal/ reprogram ~150/500
Gauge cluster ~ 150
Oil pump ~ 175
Camshaft position sensors x 2 ~120

So piecing it together ~2k-3k! Yikes!! But what come with that? 13hp?...well that's not a lot but when you compare that too an exhaust for 1500~ish for close to the same or less power gain it sounds a lil better...but through in gaskets and misc parts add another 300...and since your in there why not throw some new head studs and what not in...so why? Why is this getting brought up again?! Why why why! Cause it always gets brought up...but let's say you got a oil eating engine, spun bearing, bent rod, junk yard special...get the parts for super cheap. Your swapping your top end and electrical for the revups.
Now let's say...all the moons and cargods align and you get all the bits you need...let's say magic,good deal whatever. You swap over the top end, front covers, electrical, ecu, throw on the gauge cluster..and either get it towed down to ye old dealership and have them reprogram nats for you or get a standalone, or uprev to remove it on your ecu! Done....but screech wait what about them rod bolts...well hoss ...that's gona stop you from revving upto 7200rpm. Unless you got the block sitting on a stand...which if your at that point your just rebuilding your engine as a revup, and this isn't for you. But let's say you've been arched over some fenders for a couple days/ hours however fast you are...maybe you got some magic fingers and can get up there and replace some rod bolts.
But for you folks that get a revup from your buddy's wrecked z or wherever. You need the harness, ecu, gauge cluster. Then you go to dealership/standalone/uprev. Hope your abs works(which apparently everyone who's done it still has abs; chime in if I'm wrong)
Now let's say you blew an engine and you find a good deal on a revup? Why not spend the extra 1300 for the ecu, wiring harness, gauge cluster, o2 sensors,then getting the nats reprogrammed or transferring your Osiris ? 1300$ for 13hp, it might be worth it for some it might not be.There we go.anything to add? Anything to throw in? I'll edit change whatever.

 

Almost the most pointless thread ever posted. Thanks.

 

Type in rev up into the search bar and see how many conversions or questions like that are asked. I'm sorry you find it the most pointless thread over. But I thought it'd be a nice thing to do, alleviate the questions or people going well this or that. It's there. But I apologize for offending you.

 

Yes, and all those threads are equally pointless. Drive an '06 and see how awesome that extra 13 hp feels. Not offended, just bored.

 

It doesn't feel any different because the added weight. This is answering others questions. It doesn't apply to you apparently. It's like getting on an external vs internal waste gate thread and going its pointless because our car has neither and I don't care about it; so it's all pointless. I had the hopes that either a new person would see this or someone that did have these questions, wouldn't be told it's pointless or save the x amount of threads on it from popping up.

 

Even Nissan knew the RevUp was a failure. or else they would have continued making them for more than one model year (yes, the '05 6MT 35th cars also have it). Probably cost them a bundle to replace all the oil burners, too. For $3K why not just sell the DE, buy an HR car, and get all the other upgrades that are also included?

 

Why upgrade your hr? Why not sell it and just get a corvette? Why does anyone do anything with their car? I understand what your saying but your somewhat changing your argument to this is pointless. To the revup is silly, well why do you have an 08 hr? Why not get a Vette or 370? By your logic I could argue that the revup that is still being used today and the non rev up aswell; but that the hr was used for two years and discontinued...well except for hybrids...don't believe me do some googling.

This is too answer the questions on the swap / conversion. But instead of asking I just answered.

 

Reading this thread gives me a headache - your grammar is atrocious.

Spend the money for this proposed upgrade on something which is much more desperately needed, English composition classes.

 

Well I suppose I should get some ice for that burn. Yes this is a report for work I'm turning in. No wait! It's an essay! No, it's the internet. Go ahead and proof read it for me. Spell check it, correct grammatical errors. Did no one read this? I'm explaining why it cost to much or the reasons to do it. But eh.

 

I personally would never do this swap and probably a lot of people wouldn't do it either but this is good info for someone that would be interested in doing it.

Just because this thread is pointless to most people doesn't make it a pointless thread. It outlines the parts needed to do the swap for people like npr said that are either given a rev up engine or got it for dirt cheap and decide they want to do the swap.

 

Thankyou IcanHaz.

 

I think that you've got to be some sort of sado-masochist to attempt something like this. So much effort & pain for so little gain. I appreciate the thought and effort that you've put into this npr, but its a sort of redundant point.

 

I'm not attempting it. It's just a layout of information to have people make an educated secession for themselves.

So whenever some one pops up on here it can easily be answered, or if some one where to get an amazing deal on a rev up engine; they know what they need. It's for the new guy who doesn't know what he's getting into, the person with luck, or the person with no other option.

It's just a it'll cost more than it's worth, or a if you got everything infront of you kinda thing.
