I would be tempted to fit bigger injectors and lean on the stock turbo a bit. The e85 will give you more power whilst running lower exhaust temps compared to ULP, so it should reduce the heat load on the exhaust wheel. I wouldnt be surprised to see 220rwkw at 15 psi with a stocker on e85

Ok last question.

After the injectors are installed, a decent tuner should take how many hours to do a full map on e85? keeping in mind I have it tuned on 98 at the moment. Plus I read that fuel filters were getting changed every few weeks for a while after is that true?

Apart from that all else should be sweet though right.

Its all the same stuff.

E85 either comes from CSR or Manildra. Unless Powerplus are making it themselves which i doubt.

As we were going through installing the new fuel system all parts that were taken off the car were inspected, everything looked great :)

The injector O-rings are not brittle and have no sign of cracks or premature wear at all. I was comparing them to a new set that i have and i cannot tell the difference between the two.

To save you scrolling up on this page, here it is again :bunny:

Mines not the injector O rings that are the problem, rather the O ring between the fuel filler and the tank has swelled and no longer seals.

The car is a 1990 but even a brand new nissan o ring seems to swell up and fail to seal. Perhaps their manufacturing changed in the r33 series of cars?

didn't bother doing a cold start on mine....

it starts....

eventually

I jack up the cold start enrichment by around 25% at -10C and +10C, then 15% at +30C and finally 10% at +50C. I leave 80C alone, although some guys have found adding 5% works OK there as well.

You might want to have a look at the cranking time, it depends on your injector speed and type. Have a play, you can't hurt anything, after all E85 doesn't contaminate the oil like petrol.

Cheers

ok

1. gary... you're alive!

2. thanx man, would have a look but the car needs another tune on e85 anyway as we found a split cooler hose was present at the time of the last one... i'll pass those values on to trent.

wonder how much more my injectors have in them..... they were pretty far on 311rwkw with e85 cant remember the max dc atm (not 100 lol), but should be looking @ 325-330rwkw if they can make it...

740's??? mine maxed out at around 335 340rwkw

Haven't been on here for a while and last time i was there was talk of unavailability issues?

How's that all looking now? Who and where's stocking the good stuff?!?!?!?!?! (In Vic)

My car is going in in a month and i sure as hell want a re-tune on E85 but it'll be availability dependant!!!

Cheers!

when i go to hoppers i fill the tank and 2 x 20lt jerry's as well... that's right on $100

i also keep a 20lt sunoco tin with e85 stored on a crate in the garage so that i can change the map to e85 before i leave the house :P

740's??? mine maxed out at around 335 340rwkw

My 555's maxed at 337rwkw on E85...

I have upgraded to 850 Sards and am now seeing anywhere from 80-85 inj duty on my Power FC and making a consistant 350rwkw on E85 with a base pressure of 43.

Your 555's still have more in em on E85 joeyjoejoe imo.

Maybe the 2 Mainlines and 1 DD were reading high who knows but thats my experience so far.

    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
