lutch will max out at 300 anyways.

So only wanted to get about 280-285

My gearbox has been out 3 times already so I'm not too keen to go down the slippery slope of upgrade after upgrade

You don't need to upgrade injectors for that power goal.

Washable stainless filters are not fine enough, the dreaded black gunk seems fine enough to get through them and clog the injectors. I was recommended to install 10 micron paper elements to guarantee it would catch the black crap present in e85. (I assume from the manufacture of the fuel.) Moran refuse to warrant their injectors without a similar filter fitted in the fuel line...

E85 is a great cleaning solution and should flush any varnish buildup through, but this can block the filter internal to the injector, which in the EV14's is nearly impossible to clean.

wait, what? gunk in E85 from the manufacturer? (I thought it might happen if petrol stations filled ULP tanks with E85 without cleaning the tank first).

Is this a common problem or isolated?

Common, it builds up over time and circulates your fuel system, building up in the injector filter eventually. (Which is deep inside the injector on the ev14's.) For some reason my fuel system has been fine for years, but I have replaced 3 sets of ID's for customers due to this black crap recently.

I have a feeling it is from the carbon filtering of the ethanol during production. It does look a lot like carbon silt.

Currently running my rb20 on e85. Using a bosch 040 intank pump, all lines are speedflow series 200 hose (teflon), with tomei fuel reg, aeroflow inline fuel filter, standard fuel rail, and 565cc hks injectors. Making 266kw/357 hp, and mine doesn't chew through fuel like that at all.. Dyno graph in the rb20 dyno result thread

Nah easy. I just carry a laptop with a 98 tune on it in case I have to stop for 98. It never fusses over a few litres of E85 left in the tank, and vice versa.

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
