You are dicking yourself in terms of performance and reliability.

Save your money and highflow the stock turbo to run the 12 instead of running dual maps so you can run some magical sauce only to blow the rear wheel off the turbo which might take your motor with it.

plus guys before you get all excited US fuel octane number is measured differently to ours (they quote an average of RON and MON we just quote RON which reads much higher than MON ratings). their 91 octane (AKI) fuel is somewhere around our 95RON fuel (not quite as good as our 98 RON but nor far off).

as for the OP, there is no set formula. you need to tune it for the new fuel and see how much boost and timing it will take before it either stops making more power or it knocks.

also why only 12psi? with no more boost you will struggle to get much more power. if it's only for drag runs, wind it up a bit. even just another 3psi of so will give some decent gain.

I've read that 12 psi is the most you want to run on the stock, ceramic turbo wheel. just not looking to hurt the engine. I need that bottom end to hold up to the GT35 when funding is available.

So far my best is a 13.30 @107. 12 psi 11.8ish afr's. this is with a 2.0 60'. I have some mickey thompson et streets now. shooting for a high 12's, maybe mid 12's on race gas.

If you are keeping the bottom end stock (i.e. not rebored and forged etc ) a GT3076 will give you all the power you can handle - 300 - 330kw. A GT35 is good for a lot more than the stock RB25 can cope with.

It's not the boost that kills the turbo, it's the excess shaft speed.

US fuel also contains more benzine and other products that make it more knock resistant for the same 'octane rating'.

Your going to need a fair bit more power to run consistant mid 12's from a 13... Id spend some time taking weight out of the thing first. Then a ethanol tune.

Or nitrous.

I eventually plan on building up an engine for the car. the GT35 is just so I dont outgrow the turbo.

My car with me in it is under 3000 pounds, I should be able to shave a quarter second off the 60' foot time, I will be launching off of a two step at 5000. so a quarter second off the sixty has always been, and SHOULD be good for a half second off the big end. thats 12.80 without race gas.

I'm mainly just curious how much timing I can add for the race gas. Ive heard 6 degrees, 8 degrees??? also would I need to go to a hotter plug???

      Carb issues - E15S

      By GregosM10 · Posted

      Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though.

      The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.

      That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
