yeah he is where i got the idea from :blink:

the Blitz 555's are $690, will i need an aftermarket fuel rail for them or new regulator?

Don't be WEAK!!!!

Go for a set of 800's so you can tune it for E85 as its now available in SA and soon to be rolled out everywhere. :)

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Don't tune for it just yet.. But at least you know you will have the head room in the injectors when your ready to. :D

A set of sard twin spray 800cc's pull up fine and return stock economy. Don't buy single squirter's they are crap under 2k.

You need around 35% more injector with E85. So for ~300rwkw you will need ~700cc injectors with E85.

Depends on the dyno but 550's generally hit 80% at around 300-310rwkw. + the E85 as you can crank some timing in to it and it just won't ping will make another 30rwkw odd.

Just sucks 34 injectors are so expensive in that size. ;)

Yeah i read that too Ryan, apparently even the fuel tank should be changed the stainless steel, and you have to remove all rubber, foam etc from the fuel setup.

bah its load of crap. :D

Ethanol actually cleans. Not quite as good as water injection but damn close.

Unless you leave it in your tank for 1+month only then does it begin to absorb water.

Unless you have an aluminium fuel tank you don't have to worry. ;)

Bosch fuel pumps are designed with ethanol in mind.

The 'only' issue E85 has is with 'old' fuel line.

I've replaced my fuel hose from the tank to front with suitable hose from pirtek cost me a total of $40. These cars are 10+ years old now its worth while replacing fuel hose regardless of fuel especially when base fuel pressure (36-40psi) + boost (20psi) = up to 60psi of pressure running through 10+year old often surface cracked fuel hose = disaster waiting to happen.

Dino fuels leave deposits, so when you change to Bio fuel it will clean out the system. Its a food idea to replace your fuel filters regularly for the first few thousand k's (ie at 2K and again at 5k)

As for fuel lines, if you still have the original rubber ones replace them (they are overdue anyway), and if you have replaced them in the last 2 years you should be fine. Its the same argument for E85 as Bio-Diesel, much of it is scare tactics, other bits are common sense.

      Forgot to mention. I love the fact that Greg, Gregged Up, the model of his car, that has so many gregged up stories about its build! I had to have a little laugh. At the same time thinking "That's the sort of thing I'd do to myself!"

      Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......
