Hey

It would be cool if people that have FI with revup that blown there engine post up. I really havent seen any blowns on revups. I am wonder if the "stronger" rod as helped.


Thanks

YES! I think... 75 passes at the track and counting

 

Glad to see a Stock engine holding up well on the PETT.

 

Blown. LOTS of time at 7000+rpms. 448whp@6.8psi. Rod bolt broke first, then the rod. I could hear it tapping loudly (kept driving it cuz I wanted to build anyway) and then WACK! Threw the side of the block.

 

Ouch^^^^ Did you find out what caused the problem? to much stress? Knock?? Tune??


Thanks


Mahdi

 

Yeah, just too much stress from wearing it out on a regular basis. The pistons, head, springs, and valves were all blue from the heat. I pitched a tent on the rev limiter constantly. I really wanted to see what the rods could handle just from reading about the motor. My tuner told me that the rods would give if I drove it like I stole it all the time cuz I told him I would. Oh well...

 

Jokestrap!
Dude your making great power at 12.5psi im building my rev-up right now I can make that kind of power great job.

I know why you are wondering this question I asked my self the same thing.
I just decided that blowing the engine would cost me more time and aggravation than building it in the first place.
So that’s why Im building it and going to drive with peace of mind.

You run the stock motor many have but the chances of something going wrong decrease with a build motor.
good luck to you

Yeah I am in the same place you are, but if I get build engine and I would turn up the boost, and then I would need double or thriple clutch and then my tranny would start giving up then my axles....and it just goes on. I am still kinda confused and undecided on what to do. I still have time to research till the TN kit comes out for the 06.


Thanks a lot

Wrist pin retainer ring failed on mine at 6k miles with no mods..... So now its getting a built engine.

 

drive mine every day had jwt tt on since Aug all is good but i will be needing a new clutch in a few months i can feel it.

 

are you still on stock clutch?

 

yea its already known that revups seem to take more to boost and show better response to mods. And so far seems to be doing better with low boost aswell, but remember its only been out for 1 yr but so far im impressed with the revup honestly.

 

Not true they are going on 2 years now. Remember the re-up came out on the 05 track and 35th ann 350z. I think I am the only one on this forum with a stock block pushing it limits every weekend. I run 110 or 112 VP for safety @12psi. Sharif at Forged Performance has done an incredible job keep this motor intact. IMO a rev-up can run 9psi ALLLLL day long just my 2 cents. Keep in mind that every time I up the boost Sharif re-tunes it. This car has probably over 120 dyno runs in the past year. "It's all in the tune" thats my motto.

 

yeah still on stock clutch holding up.

 

It's all in the wallet. 120 dyno runs?????

You Hear that SHARIF!

 

Your car must have a full-time spot in his shop. By the way, your car looks great, I saw it when I dropped my car off a few weeks ago.

 

/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\ Thanks! I just want to hit 11's before I go to Iraq/build the motor. We will find out this Sunday. Sound like your set up is going to be Sweet.

 

yea ur right they have been going 2 years but on the 35 anniversary models if im correct. But main stream models hasnt the revup only been out for 1yr. And im all up for the revup i plan on boosting a safe 9psi on my rev up after i put some milage on my Z and im done picking my suspension mods . Im all for it , im quiet curious as the the oil issues that everyone is having but , i will tell u i have more fun driving my revup then my 287 Z , to me on the highway its more pleasurable to feel the extra top end. the revup just feels to me more refined. I do miss the light to light tq though lol. Cant wait to put her on a road race course if ozoc or whatver florida club desides to get a event going. I believe personally that the revup was like a beta hr motor lmao.
