I was more refering to the rapidly expanding gas and the huge heat shock it would cause, like a 600-700deg exhasust manifold and then spray some cold water into it

Edit - oops still signed in to Prues account lol

Ahh ok, I was getting mixed up with an old engine idea of injecting water in with the fuel to keep engine temperatures down: barely any combustion energy is lost due to the expansion of the liquid water and wouldn't affect the exhaust as it would be at temperature.

You're right though, it'd only do damage after the pistons

Sorry for the late reply haha.

I have a few graphs to show the difference between E85 and PULP 98. Same car, same dyno, same night, same tuner.

PULP 98 VS E85 Same boost.

As tuned

PULP 98 VS E85 at 2 bare85vs%20pump%20max%20power.jpg

Basic spec list is:

GT block

Tomei 2.8 (9.0 compression)

270 @ 10.25 cams

ported head

HKS GT RS's

HKS dumps and front pipes

kakimoto full mega N1 cat back

Power FC

ID 2000 cc injectors, Nismo lift pump and 2 bosch 044's feeding the engine

+ all the bullcrap to support it.

The midrange improvement on E85 is amazing! Once it comes on the tacho just flicks to the limiter. RWD is quite fun!

well done, crazy results...

Gosford caltex is doing tank works at the moment which means yeeeeehhaaaaaa E85 will be in my tank soon :action-smiley-069:

Was a little bummed at the final figure to be honest.

Its funny... My last tune on the same dyno before the ARC cooler went on was 370 rwkw on 98... and this time I didnt crack the 350 mark. Bit strange.... They have changed dyno's though.. maybe that has something to do with it. Either way it feels 461946129649% better on E85. The throttle response is amazing. It almost knows what your going to do before you do anything with your right foot!

Are you sure they've changed dynos?

Not a bad figure there... What were you expecting it to make before going E85?

Congratulations on the result. What exhaust manifolds are you running?

Usual variance is you say +/- 15rwkw, fits into it though whether they have/have not changed it :D

The 350rwkw run you are only running just over 22psi (or so??)

The final 416rwkw run is 25-27psi. Boost + fuel have given the result there don't forget.

GT-RS's on 20-22psi aren't doing much anyway. You really do need to get 25-30psi into it and hence the 416 run has seen a nice solid punch when combined with the E85

The gains are quite good as it comes up onto boost in the midrange. Not surprised at all you notice it, RWD surely has to be pointless :action-smiley-069:

Although overall, the end result is nothing that -5/2530's can't do (power vs boost wise), with better response...

Yeah they have.... only had it a few months I think

I was hoping around the mid 400's. As you can see the difference between 1.7 bar and 2.0 bar netted an extra 12 kw. Yavuz reckons its the exhaust housings and the exhaust choking it up a tad. Hmmmm i dunno

Yeah the midrange is what I was hoping to really gain out of this. As we all know GTR's have sweet FA under 4K anyway (unless you have a dirty 30.... which one day I will have haha).

Ash there are times which I had the 2530's hanging off the side of mine, Esp with the OS 5 speed sometimes you just cant carry that much speed into slow corners..... this is where a 6 speed would really shine! Get her onto a fast flowing track like Eastern Creek and thats where it would love it! But lets be honest... I aint changing turbo's. Effort, time and money. 600 HP road car is enough for most people yeah? lol

Ha. Spinning the rears at 140 in second (OS 5 speed) in the dry is hell fun! haha

hehe gotta love the extra bit of length the OS gives :action-smiley-069:

It does indeed depend on what you are doing and the setup of course :D

Was just musing on it as i have with Steve-o a couple of times of late about -10/RSs vs -5/2530s

Yeah they have.... only had it a few months I think

Oh indeed – having a ponder on the throne just then.

I too wonder if there is an exhaust restriction... easy way to be checking that one :D

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
