It wont be that easy :thumbsup:

what makes you say that?

as long as you have fuel setup sorted and you have appropriate boost control there shouldnt b too much dramas

ppl say you get 15-20% increase in power from e85

so a 330kw GTR should crack 375kw on e85... theoritically atleast

What makes Paul say that is no doubt that he makes 400kw, and knows that theory can be a long way from reality.

By all means try your theory, go get some ID2000's, a large fuel pump or two 044's, whatever EBC you like, -9's and see how you go at 24psi. Let us know how you go

Generally it seems to only be around 20-30rwkw though in terms of gains. I think 350-360rwkw would be more realistic.

What would be more interesting though... How much earlier would they come on?

Given everyone seems to gain a few hundred RPM response. Getting -9s on even sooner would really be quite something.

Whilst 200-300rpm might not sound like a lot, if its coming up in/out of throttle faster too... It would be awesome!

Yeh I'm gonna.. as soon as caltex get some elfex around my area

Would b interesting with -9s

ID1000s won't b enough?

I suppose it depends on who tunes it.

Im running ID 2000's (2225cc) and at 400rwkw im using a Duty cycle of about 63% IIRC (AFR's are about 11.6:1 Petrol corrected according to my wideband (Roughly .80 Lambda)). If you calculate that back thats just on 1400 CC worth of injector. Thats on a 2.8 with GT RS's at 1.75 bar. Its a little low as my exhuast was choking it like a whore.

Whilst 200-300rpm might not sound like a lot, if its coming up in/out of throttle faster too... It would be awesome!

That's what you do notice. That half to full throttle instant response. Well I use 'instant' very loosly with GT RS's. It was alot better with E85! pinch.gif

What area are you in? Its at a few places now, so if the skyline isn't your daily driver you'll be fine.

You're talking a 2.6L right? Mine maxed 1000's at 403rwkw but its an rb30 - capacity makes a difference.

Yeah this is an interesting point.

My throttle response hasn't got any better or worse since before and after the E85 swap. I took the time to make sure it was how I wanted it while it was on pump though.

Edit; I dont mean turbo lag.

I see that stated a lot but can't understand why! Can you explain why would engine capacity makes a difference?

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
