yeh, thought we would give it is much as we can as my tuner and i want to give the E85 a go. the added octane and cooler temps should allow it.

Sounds like excellent news!

11:1 is a good compression ratio, a little higher than original...

Cant wait to see/hear a video of the engine roaring...

How much parts do you need to change to use E85?

I heard that from stock, you only need to change the injector, fuelpump and fuel filter and it should be able with a tune to run E85, or am I mistaking?

yeh, its all Gary stuff. the brakes are 330mm, wanted to run 17s, speaking of which, i picked a nice set of 8s & 9s up today.

suspension and brakes look good Stu. Is that blisteins, eibach springs and noltec adjustable bushes?

and the brakes are the 356 like we run?

Looking at your rear shocks you are running a GTR rear cradle. Would you happen to know the weight benefit? I mean do the bigger shafts just offset the alloy hubs?

The upgrade to the GTR cradle wasn't done for a weight advantage but for a strength upgrade. I don't think anything was weighed when the conversion was done.

nice. they were a good buy. I was nearly going to grab them as a spare set for the silvia. then remembered I already have 3 sets of rims for the silvia.... :P

A complete GTR cradle compared to a GTS or GTS-T would be similar in weight but provide a lot more strengh to handle the extra two cylinders.

We did the conversion to alloy GTR hubs on Clinton's R32 and saved 3 kg per hub (the important part though is the reduced unsprung weight).

Heavier parts include the shafts, diff housing and additional front diff support bracket.

Common parts are the top arms, traction arms and lower arms (the only difference on lower arms is the balljoints).

hey Roy, i agree with Victory, the weight difference in the shafts will be compinsated for in the alloy hub assy. you may end up giving a kilo or two away in the centre but thats it. i couldnt tell you if the cradle assy was any heavier though. its difficult to weigh these big items, especially on bathroom scales.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By MidnightR32 · Posted

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
