I was talking to a bloke about this today and was thinking about getting the drifter re tuned for e85 but not sure if its worth it. currently only making 240rwhp on the rb20 with vg30 turbo on 15psi, all the usual bolt on mods but internally stock, stock afm and injectors, i am how ever running an intank 040 and an 044 with a surge. what kind of gains can i expect power wise changing from bp98 to e85 with the car exactly how it currently is?

Im at a cross roads now :ermm: ive been told that i will need 1000cc injectors for 270rwkw on E85! couple of lads in here claim to be running 550cc injectors and both are making over 300rwkw on E85

if i went for 1000cc injectors would i have to change my fuel rail too? I was told you use approximately 30% more E85 than 98.......:O

30% is pretty right. The tuning style also has a lot to do with what size injectors will be required. Running it lean with less timing will obviously mean you can get away with smaller injectors. Tuning rich with more timing obviously means larger injectors will be required.

They must be running them pretty lean to make 300rwkw on 550's

I was told today that my 550's will be ok for 270rwkw on E85 but they will be pretty clos to being at their limit by a nice gentleman from JEM so im gunna take his advice and bolt em in when my turbo comes :cheers:

damn some people must be tuning lean.... each to their own and everyone has a different philosophy though

Although i realise its a fair whack more power, my 1600's are at 90% at 460odd. That wil change soon though as the ID 1600's have been recalled so its up to 2000cc's :D

I am fairly sure the 2000's will have similar issues, especially on ethanol, as they are both natural gas injectors from what I'm told. The o-ring isn't rated for petrol (long term) and won't be warranted, especially with e85. If this is true the 1000's may be the only Bosch option.

I also have reservations on the spray pattern with the 2000's as the jellybean plate after the nozzle is designed to desperse the natural gas, not sure how it will work at high liquid fuel flow. Has anyone seen a video of the spray patterns on these injectors?

I'm doing a upgrade on my car I'm getting 2000 cc injectors .....haltec pro series ecu ..........and I have a.t88 on my gtr but I'm going a bit bigger I was thinking t 51r turbo my car.makes 700 HP at all wheels I want more power :-(

My car is not tuned lean with 555 to make 300 kw , its a very safe tune. But yeah in the end comes down to how the specific tuner tunes if he dorsnt believe he can get away with 555 then gota do whats hes confortable with.

What kinda turbo and boost are you running mate?

Ive gotta HKS 2835 kai coming and im hoping to push bout 16-18psi down my cars neck.

A guy off here who has the same turbo is only hitting 67% duty cycle on his 550's with 18psi boost

Im running a hypergear tr43i (the really really old model) I guess comparing it to power terms of a garett would be closet to a 3071. Im running 17.5 psi.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
