I got the same bumper, but mine is a 1999. ;D

Was it just an optional extra?

It would have been an option that not everyone ticked on the facelifts, same with the lip for it.

Mine didn't come with it I'm just converting it to facelift.

Hi All,

Found a article - mechanical break down and road test of a Rev D B4... has all the info i was looking for.. and confirmed to me my car is boosting like it should...

Covers:

Engine differences

Turbo Differences

Extra Body strength

and a hell of a lot more...

Gaurds and bonnet are alloy on mine. Reubens statement that all BH/BE's have alloy arms is incorrect. TSR's still had steel ones.

I also have the side airbags in my seats and came with 2 pot front brakes

[Guest]

Guards as well! How interesting!

[Guest keltik]

Or if they arent alloy - they are a very soft steel which doesnt rust.

[Guest]

I'll have to grab a magnet and check my front guards now!

This is from what i know about the Rev D legacy

Engine:

Higher comp ratio

Different TB and I/C setup up. (different pipe work before/after I/C)

Uses Denso ECU system instead of JECS type (can reflash)

AFM insert type (75mm instead of 90mm intake ID )

Turbos are different.

4pots became a Factory option.

They added a few Braces around the chassis.

Different headlights (aka "terminator type")

grill

Bonnet

AFIK guards are the same as the headlight differances are around the grill area.

Mirrors with LED inidicator became a factory option

different trim layout inside. (blitzens got a crazy tan leather interior)

speedo custer is different

Steering wheel is different.

*I havnt seen a RSK without front alloy arms.

[Guest boostin]

All turbos get alloy arms.

[EJ20T]

my my02 JDM d rev has no side airbags and i work on a nz new d rev bh that is the same, is it a my03 thing? i dont think i have alloy gaurds but i'll check, has alloy bonnet tho, d revs do have extra braces in the rear over the others

[Guest keltik]

Where are the extra braces? Cos mine still flexes like a bitch

[D-Style]

Here one pic...

CBF finding more at this stage.

All TURBO BE/BH's, i should have made that clear... I'm assuming the 3L's will as well.

[Guest keltik]

Correct

[Guest]

This thread has a lot of good info... could be good to be sticky'd perhaps...

[D-Style]

some of my old Japanese web links for this stuff, most of them dont work anymore.... should post them one day

Im pretty sure d rev turbo manuals have 4.111 final drives, instead of the 4.444 found in A's and B's (same gearbox as ver 5/6 sti) gives about 2650 for 100kph in 5th, makes driving with a load tricky, if u tip the throttle over certain point it goes from slowly accelerating to giving full boost, pretty tiresome. but gives it the ability to get a max of 680kms off a tank vs 550 max in my brothers BH5A

[D-Style]

You'll find the ~a-b had a taller geared Gearbox and bigger turbos ~c went for shorter gears and smaller turbos. and then ~D was different again

Ahhh no, ive done alot of work on my bro's BH5A, it from factory has the same transmission as a ver5 sti sedan, so similar gearing to all the non type RA/R turbos, ive worked on a few rev C's and from what i see they have vf31/32 combo like a D rev but not sure on the gearing as they have been autos. the rev d's have longest geared 5MT for turbos i know of

[GravelBen]

Rev-D has VF33/32 combo not 31/32 (well mine does anyway!), not sure how much difference there is between the 33 and 31. Mine is pulling about 2700rpm @ 100km/h in 5th so the calculated 2650 above sounds pretty accurate.

[EJ20T]

mine also has the 33, but ive seen others with the 31. not sure if theres reason to it

[Guest]

I have the VF33/32 combo too... haven't as yet come across a Rev D any different..

[Guest]

Do just Rev d's have the double entry rear silencer as well or do all b4's have this?
