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 :(

lol

It will be a test mule, But ill be the one riding it. :(

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

what changed?

what needs to be done to the car to make it run on e85 properly

whats fuel economy like

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫
