Anybody done this back to back testing.

E.g. Shell 98 AFR 12:1, then run shell extreme (E5) and checked how much the AFR had moved?

Anybody done this with E10?

Is the AFR change enough to warrant a retune? Or most of the time ok if tune was to 11.8:1 AFR with optimax?

Thanks

And from this did he deduct that a leaner mixture increased EGT when run on the same tune? There is three things your have to wieght up 1. is the less density of the Ethanol 2. the fact that alcohols generally produce lower EGT's. 3. How much oxygen the ethanol is carrying.

From my experience with a wideband, the AFRs moved about ~0.3-0.4 leaner using E10. E5 would be half of this.

Thanks Busy2k - thats the kind of info I was chasing.

So its not that significant.

i.e. If the tune is safe with normal 98 (i.e. 11.8:1) then it should still be safe running boost98 (E10) it sounds like. I think the ethanol lowers the EGTs slightly anyway?

Since you have to up the timing anyway - I presume by using the ignition correction on the pfc - then can't you increase the injectors by some amount - also in the correction bit - to lower the AFR and thus make the tune happy again?

You would have to remember to do it every time you turned the car on though.

Yep by putting in the E10 it should be still quite safe. But to get the most out of it, you may have to up the ignition timing 1 or 2 degrees. Changing the fuel injector correction (ie from 50 to 51% if using 740cc injectors) should be enough to offset the changes in AFR. A dodgy way to permanantly increase the ignition timing is to advance the CAS 1 or 2 degrees if you have a timing gun.

    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
    • Hi. Which coilpacks can i use in my engine? I looked at the Splitfire but the closest "match" i found was SP-DIS-008 but even that they do not show RB20DE NEO so iam not 100% sure. Or maybe different one which will 100% work? I saw many on ebay but they are some cheap "strange" ones. What about Yellow Jackets? Many thanks 🙂
