ok so i finally got my car back today and decided to try this e85 everyone's talking about....

i went on a mission to hoppers crossing united and picked up 40lt for the bargain price of $39.90!!!

i then went on my road trip to my tuner, Rob @ CREATD....

car : 94 r33 gtst with an UNOPENED rb25.

turbo : HKS 2835 pro s (.68)

fuel system : nismo 555cc injectors, nismo pump

management : power fc

we first did a pulp run for comparison's sake and got 270rwkw...

then we dumped the tank and poured in the jingle juice... the first thing you notice is the smell... its sweet... real sweet...

turned the key and when the e85 filtered through the idle was pretty horrible, but livable, the afr's were off... but we gave it a pull just to see the diff off the bat without any fiddling... 278rwkw... not bad...

after a few more pulls and some extra fuel + timing we ended up with 311rwkw! :PBJ:

below is a comparison graph with pulp (green) and e85 (red)

the tune is now nice and tidy, and the car starts, idle's and runs like a dream.

the 311 rwkw is insane with full boost by 3500

traction is now non-existant (with 5/7 greddy coils, positive camber, sways etc)

so after day 1 of e85, i am a VERY VERY happy camper! i even went back and filled the car up and grabbed another 40 lt in the jerry's...

gonna run it for a full week as a test and make my descisions then... but so far, DAMN good!

below is a link to the vid of the 311 run:

BIG thanx once again to Rob @ CREATD for yet another bang up tune!!!

I don't wanna rain on your parade but if you go for a run and need to fuel up with ULP, won't the car run like shit because of the different fuel?

The e85 sounds good and looks like a winner.

It's not like it'll happen everyday but keeping the boot full of jerrys for an extended run is what you'll have to keep in mind.

We don't have it over here yet but I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

Nice work Mr Shabadoo, have you tried the current tune running normal 100ron just incase you get stuck with no e85 available?

Will it ping it's ass off and be a limp home prospect or still be safe under normal driving?

Ye its good fuel no doubt - Matt who is tuning EVO after EVO at the moment is seeing crazy gains. :ermm:

Only issue's i have - its not widespread enough here in Vic yet really... and the price isn't really reflective in terms of economy.

Economy is worse than good pump... depends on the use of the car :)

yeah, i recon i could get 320 with the cam gear, but i decided not to push it anymore :ermm: (+ i want the response)

it took probably 2 hours tuning.... (we chat a lot, we really only did like 10 pulls)

Good results, but am i reading right that you are now running more boost?

yeah, its on 18psi for the e85, and 16 for the pulp, as the pulp tune wasn't gaining any more at that pressure

Awesome results man, and thanks for sharing - really good to see an overlay between normal pump and E85 on the same car :ermm:

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      By Duncan · Posted

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
