If so Im going to call uprev and tell them they didnt even increase my rev!
#79
I thought yours was at 7600? And you have no new valve springs or valves or cams? and it runs up there just fine?

When I first got tuned Shawn Church told me that he bumpedup to 7600 I was extremely concerned. But after a few conversations on the subject, I conceded to his knowledge.
your tuner was probably not that familiar with the Vq engine. The tachometer reads high. Nissan designed it like that.

Also when I rev it doesnt even go passed 7. like you said if it read higher and it was set at 7 like the tuner told me, i would have been reading 7100 or 7200.

Technosquare determined years ago that 7100 is the safe limit for first gen DE (for those that dont know, Technosqaure was the first to crack the ECU and was the only tune available for several years)...
Beyond 7100 it is advised to upgrade valve springs, oil pump and rod bolts... cams and valves have nothing to do with the safety of higher rev limiter - but can be part of helping take advantage of power in the upper end...
The reason people bump rev limiter (to safe limit) on stock internals is to max out revs and the drag strip so that you can finish the 1/4 mile in 3rd gear (shifting to 4th will fubar the entire run).
All of this is very old information, very much common knowledge to many of us that have been around a while... and have been racing and modding Gs for a while...
BTW, UpRev bumps rev limiter too... I have no idea why they wouldn't have bumped yours

yea I didn't think about it in a drag race sense but I can see how it'd be necessar.. on stock internals tho and with our restrictive stock plenum it's very difficult to keep making power that high up in the band
#88
no since we were just testing our lower plenum.. But we do have a ported and gasket matched lower collector that i'd like to use next time.. But yea we should definitely see better gains on a rev up.. Now it's just a question of finding someone with a stock rev up for some dyno time

As others have pointed out, its alot harder to launch a manual than autos who simply just stomp on the gas and dont worry about anything else...why do you think theres so many videos of slow cars "beating" others cars like OMG I'm a civic and i just beat a porsche when you can clearly see that the other guy either didnt launch right or missed a shift....it takes a lot more experience to actually perfect the launches and shifts in a stick shifts to get the best times possible as opposed to an automatic where anyone can just jump in any type of car and get pretty much all the best time that auto car can run...
I wouldn't brag about beating a stick shift with like 10hp more, go to the track get your best time for the day, then compare...I also don't know why you would raise your limiter to 7600 when you shift at 7100, i guess just another thing to brag about haha
Nonethless cool numbers, I'm sure I'll get to those numbers with the mods i have planned -_-
