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

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
