interested to hear how you get on with this Hanaldo...

Id also be interested where you get your parts from and your calculations of length of hose and fitting types?

I could never estimate the fitting angles that were needed for a clean tidy install... so I went and did other things, like collect CF...

Ive still got the rails, reg and large injectors waiting for my e85 upgrade sitting waiting for time and the braided lines...

I'll let you know where I get everything from in the end, but I'm probably just going to do some rough measurements with the HKS rail dummy fitted and then purchase a little more hose than I think I'll need, just in case. Going to just buy the hose and fittings and put it together myself, means I can just cut to length when I need to.

Fitting types should be easy enough. 90 degree fitting into the fuel rail, 180 degree fitting on the return side, going to run the return line parallel to the fuel rail and then back to the reg. Still need to figure out sizes for fittings into the regulator, but they should all just be straight hose ends I think.

someone tried to recomend i upgrade to 3/8 hose to go with my -6 fittings..

but although the fitting is bigger the inlet hole is still the same size as 5/16 hose..

Kind of made me wonder whats the point of going larger hose then so I didnt get it..still 5/16(7.5mm) off the shelf fuel hose everywhere..

So what filter you recomending Scott?? probably should upgrade mine as well..are the basic ryco filters even E85 compatible

Im using two of the proflow dash 8 sized small ones, one for each rail.

I paid $100 plus whatever barbed/dash fittings you want for the ends. The element is washable plus replacements are available. Make sure you get ethanol tolerant bunna style orings to seal the dash fitting.

Injectors online again mate. :)

Actually not sure why I was even considering one with threaded ends, would require more fittings that I don't really need.

What about the Earls inline barb end type, like this:

It's the only barb end filter they offer but it's only 35 micron sintered bronze element, is that ok? Flows 4-5 GPM. Would prefer one of their new billet inline filters, but they only come in threaded ends and I imagine are quite expensive themselves.

why exactly would the ethanol destroy a normal filter anyway? its not as though fuel isnt corrosive to begin with..... just a rumor to spend more money?:blink:

unfortunately too many shops treat e85 like methanol...

braided everything, 12 surge tanks 8 pumps, billet rails, 24 injectors etc....

all it does is overheat the fuel anyways.

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
