Wow at the thread revival.

Since this thread i really did change my plans

NOW RB25DET NEO

Mild head porting

Heavy duty valve springs

Factory cams (keeping VCT)

Factory valves and guides

Garage 7 steam pipe manifold

GTX3076 w/ .63 rear housing

Ill be happy with 320-350 kW @ the hubs which this will shit out on E85.

Now this is an awesome setup, so much fun!!!

Mine with poncams -

Ians without poncams -

Type A or B poncams?

Both still using VCT?

What are the differences between your setups.

Im retaining the factory plenum for the time being.

Type B poncams with HKS exhaust cam gear and Performance springs and retainers.... 260's with 9.15 lift i believe!

The ethanol content mine was on to run the 360kw was E70 as that is the current E-Flex percentage, my car is setup to run full flex....

They are the same because i copied his :P

GT3037-56T with 6Boost manifolds, .82 rear housings, Tial 44mm MV-R gates.

Ians runs a side pipe, mine runs a full exhaust.... His spools quicker than mine as i think my exhaust is restrictive.

They both run Plazmaman plenums etc...

If there is anything else, just ask as i am happy to help! Simon-S14 ran a similar setup too and made similar results so its a proven performer setup :D

yep

but there is def a difference when tuning on e70 vs e85

my brothers car made 420kw on with 65% ethanol in the tank

the tuner told us to take the car back... put it around and come back with 85% ethanol (once all the old unleaded is gone through the system) so he can wind up the boost... expecting to make 450-460 on full strength e85

Doesnt matter, it shows the NEO + 3076 combo done right is a win everytime :woot:

Umair - The car is tuned to the current fuel available, i could have tuned on drum E85 and made a tad more (although the turbo was the limiting factor i believe) but it was tuned on E-Flex which is 70%, there is compensation in for higher E content, but it made the power on the pump stuff!

Ahh so identical setups. Nice.

How come hes using factory cams?

Do you find hes got slightly better mid range with stock cams on his?

Yes .63 rear is more restrictive, but is much better for response.

Yeah pretty much the same thing, i have a few slight improvements etc but pretty close!

It was to be an unopened engine with bolt ons and it made impressive power so i guess he didnt see the need.

If we had identical exhausts we could overlay the graphs and get a comparison, but mine behaves differently and comes on later so i cant give you an accurate answer, the mid range on mine is awesome and when it comes on boost its pretty aggressive, and that is on low boost so far, am yet to get it on high boost with the E70

How much response do you need? I think ians is around 3700-3800 and mine is around 3900..... There is the twin scroll result from Owen in the RB25 thread that is pulling full boost way earlier so you could look at that too!

Yeah... nah, the power difference between E70 and E85 would be the best part of zero

Yeah... nah, the power difference between E70 and E85 would be the best part of zero

I think this was raised in the Guilt_Toy thread a while back and was mentioned that the difference was minimal.... Depends if we are comparing an E-Flex to a Sucrogen or something like that? Maybe its not the percentage but more the fuel itself? Either way, my result was on E70 and was awesome! I was over the moon and will be for a long time :D

yeh same issue with me... im not gonna both driving 40mins to get full strength e85 so mine will primarily run on the Caltex eflex as well

but I doing the fuel flex tune on full strengh e85 is best because that way you have complete range of different proportions on e85 strength in your tune

Yeah... nah, the power difference between E70 and E85 would be the best part of zero

its going to be boost which will make more power but we will only wind up on full strength because it will be safer to do so

420kw on a stock motor... and we've been flogging the crap out of it so far!

yep im comparing eflex (70% most of the time) to united (85%)

its interesting stuff

i've hooked up my laptop to the Haltech and watch the fuel composition go up and down.... was sitting at 68% last time i filled up with caltex eflex

The 3076 wont make much more power as the boost was already trailing off on my car indicating the turbo was out of puff..... So it may be relevant to a different turbo but not so much the ones being discussed! In saying that the GTX probably has a bit more than mine does, so who knows....

mate does your flex setup varying the boost depending on proportion of e85 in the tank?

No, below 60% i run low boost, above that i press high boost.... Only picked up the car Monday so i am yet to try high boost.... Am up to E54 or something....

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
