a brand new highflow from hypergear is 880 + the oil line and post (like another 150?) that will have a no nonsense result, dont buy a mystery turbo.

why does it seem like there are way too many sizes available for these things? I mean, 6766, 6262, 6266, 6466, 6462? What's going on lol

Jez you havent got your drifter back on the dyno yet

INSANE

Your probably not wrong, I wont go there for now. Hate 'he said she said's', especially on the net lol. V8s did end up going E85 though, but with the guaranteed content CSR shit. I have heard reports that eflex is fairly consistent at the e70 mark.. But I just cant get past the fact its a varying content fuel. Like I said in the HG thread, I fully believe in it as long as its used with a content sensor. Once it properly rolls out in NSW and is available everywhere I will honestly be buying a flex capable ecu and getting it tuned on that

How did I know I would get an FP HTA response out of you But your right and I will need to consider those too!

Would you like to share your opinion here.. My setup: OEM S15 DE 10:1cr VCT delete S13 DE cams Water injection (not planning to use meth and still on 98) All relevant supporting mods Thoughts if I strapped a 5557? Do they come in a twin scroll? I would be willing to run it in the early 20psi range. I am only considering setups that big now because of the WI kit, otherwise I struggled to avoid knock on a 28RS and the wrong cams Why does it seem like you indefinitely just lost your job? Move to Sydney, FARK.

*Throws frisbee at your hand* Piieww Lol FC no compatibrrrrr with ethanol'oh contento sensor'oh

Sounds like I need to buy a JZA80, today. I need to revisit the SR results buried in this thread. Faith has been bestowed.

LOL no I am a supporter of it, when its setup to be what it should (content sensor ECU and ethanol rated consumables in place). The results are nonsense, but I cant justify the cost/effort when its hardly 'available' in Sydney.

The FNT change was fairly well doc'd and Stao noted massive improvements in the driveability of the things. The most recent FNT revision to the G3 has it looking as good as a Kando 20g on spool and surpassing it on power! Yet on paper and on road could be different, I could not be sure unless I drive both. Must.. Resist.. Troll..........

I've watched this thread quite closely over the last couple of years, and I am confident in saying you bought an excellent turbo. Whether it made 240 or 280rwkw it is what it is, theres no guarantee to a number with any turbo and plenty of people have strapped GT30s and struggled. That's just the way it is. Your feedback is testament to the effort Stao has put into developing that unit, and anyone who has read the thread as thoroughly as I have would also know it is a great turbo. There is a reason I try to recommend the thing to people If I was to do another RB25 the SS1PU would be my only option for a 240-270kw setup.

Speechless... Has to be attributed more to the 2J than it is the turbo's right? I mean its a TWIN SCROLL EFR vs a Single scroll PT lol.. Insane..

LOL well Hello there Scott.

From memory anything with PU indicates a larger hotside. So its probably got a bigger rear housing and possibly a larger rear wheel. Stao can clarify.

LOL All good guys, I'm happy to hear different opinions and/or be told I'm wrong. At the end of the day I'm only voicing an opinion myself. No discredit to Ethanol based fuels at all from me, but I would only go there 1) when its fully rolled out and available in my state, and 2) if and when I run a content sensor. I get my content woes/information down a short grape vine from the very top of CAMS hierarchy. Not that it changes anything, but like I've said before we all form our opinions somehow.

Thanks mate, after I had a good read of your explanation of the photo it really did tell 1000 words

LOL I wish I knew that about 2 days earlier. Nah I'm sure it will be fine. One thing I am now wondering though.. And Titan should be able to clarify.. Does the system purge when your using the optional solenoid? Or still suffers from the same issue? It cant be that bad really.. Surely the hose would fill up really quick and be fine if your careful with your first few boot fulls. I will go into my experiences when the time comes.

Looks like its a stainless tank then. Thanks guys,

Interesting. So you think the Snow kit is a toy? LOL Just interested to hear your feedback, having owned one. And thanks Titan, Ill grab the solenoid when the time comes.

To be more accurate, different suppliers have different methods of mixing their fuels. One of the main reasons BP98 got the wrap it did years back is because BP guarantee their blend to be the same all year round. However, you are correct and both Caltex and Shell 98 blends are 'seasonal'. They still are a 98ron fuel however the additives used to reach that target change with the seasons and availability of materials. This was a major reason why BP won the sponsorship rights to the V8s. Without being argumentative, I am of the strong opinion an 'untuned' variation in ethanol content can and will have a devastating effect on the motor. Remember that there are 2 separate components to the fuel, and you are also varying gasoline content too. Aww Diddums, did my mean comments upset you? Don't worry, I'm sure your 20hp will come back. There there, I wrote you an essay and made it all better now.

Hmm, but I want a big alloy tank in the back of my car, not a plastic one that doesnt specifically fit where I want it to lol

Wrong. Ethanol burns completely differently to petrol, 10% variance in content could have a major effect in terms of 'rich or lean'. Just because you don't tune it to the ragged edge doesn't mean it wont lean out.

Lol yeah your perfectly correct, yet what I neglected to adequately mention was that you can easily put measures in place. In my case I am going to have a low level warning and have my car tuned to low boost without WI and high boost with WI. I am actually going to look for an EBC with a remote switch too, so I can wire it up to switch to low boost on its own. But short of a content sensor equipped ECU, there is no telling if Caltex have dicked you till you lean out and melt something And while you might say that is the same thing as 'putting measures in place'... Its a lot cheaper to buy $500 worth of WMI parts and refill distilled water than it is to buy a full ecu and have someone tune it properly for varying content. I priced the exercise up for myself, it was in the vicinity of $4000 for a basic (effective) flex fuel setup and tune. It went up close to another $1000 once I asked the tuner to have the car able to go right back to straight 98. But he was happy to tune it to straight e-flex for a reasonable price if I wanted, and it 'should' be fairly consistent around the E70 mark

Im going to design my own sort of tank and get Mick to fab it up (hes a supreme boily) For now I just ordered the standard stage 2 kit, 3qt tank yeah. Once I do the bigger boot install ill probably get the upgraded solenoid and a low level light yeah.. Like you said for the money, best not to go cheap on it I guess. Maybe when I design my tank I can get ye ole Mick to make 2, Im intending to mount it on the hump between the rear strut towers.. Yet the R33 has its battery there and the S14 has a nice empty space lol. I'll design it with some sort of baffle in mind to take care of the sloshy sloshy. You wont be able to fully avoid it but putting the low level light in the right spot will tell you when your getting to danger zone.
