I am willing to bet that a stock RB25 bottom end will be able to handle 350rwkw with E85.

Get me a stock rb25 engine and i will drop it into my car. If i break it at anything under 350 rwkw i will pay for the engine.

This fuel is soo forgiving its not funny. You can get the MAX torque level and then advance the timing a extra 10 deg and it will STILL NOT DETONATE.

DETONATION destroys engines!!! if your not pinging your RB25 it will last shitloads longer!!! Look at old mate from wollongong who ran over 380rkw and ran a 10 sec quarter on unstable pump 98...

add e85 to the equasion and your talking BIG power. I would not be suprised if you can reach 400rwkw with e85 and a stock RB25. (maybe some rod bolts might be needed but you never know lets try it ???)

dont listen to him Dave...its his birthday and he's drunk.

he's already rang and asked can he use your new engine as a test mule :(

My thoughts precisely Guilt Toy, I think its hard for people to get their head around how good this fuel actually is in making power and looking after the engine. Two extremely good things to have if you ask me.

strap a turbo to mine and chuck some injectors in there and you can use mine :( I barely drive it as it is...

Just make sure you keep Glue or sticky tape handy wont ya for those pistons :(

BINGO!

Im going to squeeze every usable (safe) power i can with my E85 setup.

Maybe 340rwkw.

Looking at your build i would say its very possible indeed. You have the larger rear and cams so should be up there thats for sure.

I still think my car has more in it also because boost goes to 24 and then trails off to 19 by redline. If i can get it to hold 22-23 to redline who knows. The day it was dynod wasnt the optimum either.

1st run it spun its lips off to the tune of 279rwkw so we re strapped

2nd run it wheel spun again at the top of the torque and registered 323.8

3rd run the heat had set in from idling and the runs before, it still spun a bit at the top of the torque but it was the only usable graph at 323.2

The torque line is so steep a ramp its almost unbelieveable hence the spinning on the rollers. Good times :(

haha, i have cable ties in the car at all times! :laugh:

I'd be fine with it breaking, the battery got down to 9.1 volts just yesterday, I haven't driven it in weeks... I also found out that 9.2 volts is the bare minimum you need for HIDs to work :(

Im currently doing lots of research into reflux stills to make my own ! As it will be years until its up north QLD.

Reality is until lots of cars are E85 capable, it won't be prolific. I believe holden commodore is E85 in 2010 ???? This will be the catalyst i think , when the local cars can run it ..... can't wait.

i'm just waiting on my car to get back from the panel beaters and i'm good to go!

united are rolling out e85 at lots of servo's in vic real soon AFAIK

300rwkw on hks 2835 here i come!

You only have the .63 rear housing?

Jeez your power figure is impressive then, that would have to be the limit of flow for that turbo.

Might give 2bar a try, my new engine setup has slightly bigger cams and lower CR than the previous one so its a little more boost friendly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTHONY aka MAD SCIENTIST as Paul says :P

hi

long time reader, first time poster

did i miss something? i recall reading that guily toy tried 85 and it was poo

economy was horrible and it wasnt suitable - now all of a sudden its the best thing ever

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
