what dictates the 500rpm difference between ea-ed sixes and ef-el ones? is it cam specs or stroke or something? cos i thought they were extremely similar engines all through the e series.

minor revisions as the motor was developed. biggest differences from ed to the introduction of the ef were the dual runner length inlet manifold & the use of extra counterweights on the crankshaft. revs a little smoother & breaths a little better to put it simply.

more revs = more wear on any motor
why do you need to rev it to 5500 anyway? u trying to hold third down the 1/4 or something?

I always thought it was the smaller lifters in the EF-EL that increased the red line? Less inertia and what not.

my nl with HP4 chip shifted the limiter from 5500 to 5800rpm but i start loosing power after 5400rpm so its not alot of use to me, i have got double cone valve springs and head ported/polished, Billit cam, with the HP4 chip i can shift the limiter anywhere i want but if its not making power after 5400 i dont see the point in making it redline at 6000rpm.

I think my EA redlines about 5k. Under `enthusiastic driving' I usually shift at 4500 though. Might be just me, but it feels like things would fly off if I went any harder. Maybe I'll play around with it when I can afford to break something :P |

At the end of the day simmo it doesnt matter what you do to the motor it will only rev to about 5250 coz thats when the ecu cuts the spark, my motor still makes power till it hits the limiter... I hate it, wish i could rev to 6000, that would get me to 100 in second without slowing the diff or gearbox :eclipsee_
