iv just finished my build and want to get the most out of my setup so was wondering if i should get it tuned on e85 fuel

mods are

fully forged rb26

tomei poncams, cam gears, power fc d jetro, fuel pump, 800cc injectors on greedy rail, spitfire coilpacks, hks ignition and HKS GTSS turbo's

whats the most power that gtss turbos can produce? anyone have their 26 with gtss turbo's tuned on e85?

What fuel pump exactly?

More or less listen to the above guys, they know. I'd be using my limited knowledge to say around mid 300's before your injectors maxed.

Be sure the pump you have will suit your flow requirements though.

yup, as has been said or injectors will be the deciding factor.

make sure you remind your tuner to check the duty cycle and stop the tune at around 90% (wherever you guys are both comfortable)

i'm sure most tuners will do this anyway, but it is something that occasionally gets forgotten

yeah man, if you can get E85 easily enough where you are then I say go for it. there is sure to be some gain to be had in conjunction with more boost (25psi or so should be fine).

380rwkw is the highest figure I have heard reported from GT-SS's

I am considering testing their limits on E85 also and have sourced ID injectors to handle the fuel supply

Think of what you'de make on 2530's though :thumbsup:

Dont change to E85 you will probably regret, You will make the car "thirsty" it will drink alot. My idea is to change the turbos to GT-RS.

Its right you will get better performance and better "security" in the engine but as i said it will drink alot.

Clearly GT-SS's were chosen with response in mind - 330rwkw/PULP 380rwkw/E85

Now.. why on EARTH would be pick 450rwkw/PULP of turbo if he is chasing response, and on a 2.6l?

Silly suggestion, no extra 'security', just a whole lotta lag.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
