I finially am in a position to buy a z a do a fi setup( possibly a fi setup), but cant decide on a non rev or rev up. Money is not the object. its which is more reliable and better to build on? help!

Side question: people with FI...do you tell your insurance provider that you added a sc or tc?

 

none rev, stronger engine for boost.

 

I thought revup supposed to have stronger rods since it is meant rev higher? Care to share some info why you say non-rev is stronger?

 

non revups ftmfw.

if you want to tell insurance, they will cover your mods. if not, then if you total your car, your ****ed.

 

Non-Rev and after the build show all the receipts to your insurance company
along with pic. You really need to cover your azz just in case something
happens! There have been numerous members here that didn't have their
mods covered, not everyone came out on top.

For those who have showed their insurance their mods, how much if any did your rates go up?

 

glad u asked cuz i pick my g up tomorrow from getting my vortech installed... ive been screwed by ins when my 350z got F$%#' and i added coverage.... i have all state so im sure they can do something for me this time.... im going to call def tomorrow

 

wrong

 

^^+1 my thoughts too..

 

so can any of the other fi guys chime in on which engine is more suitable/ able to withstand more abuse from an FI setup and why? Specifically a vortech setup. Thanks

 

Here's a quote I found on this forum:

"The Rev Up motor has variable cam timing on both exhaust and intake where as in the non Rev Up is only on the intake side. It also has a higher rev limiter at 7K RPM. The Rev Up also has strong connecting rods, con rod bolts, crank, exhaust cams, etc."

If that's true then the rev up would be better suited for an FI install, but probably not by much.

 

If money is not an issue. then why not just do a built motor? then it wouldn't matter if it was non rev or rev

 

+1. on the built motor.

 

rev up is stronger but like someone else said build it first

 

i don't think it makes a difference. both are time bombs under boost.

build the motor. I don't know where u are located, but ask you're builder (Sam@GTM on west coast, Sharif@Forged on east coast) whether having exhaust cam control is important. You would think having exhaust cam control is good, but it limits your choices for cams.

re: the insurance question - it's a good idea to document with photos, videos, and receipts, but no need to tell your insurance company anything until you need $$$ - then supply the documentation (most will cover extra parts with docs though it won't raise the reimbursement for a total loss). The bottom line is that if you want the car covered for more money that what THEY feel it is worth, you will have to pay more.
