-5s two off and probably only hill climb dont need to worry about a drum of it, its now on pump 1600 injectors and currently have a nismo intank pump. could i get away with that or do i need to setup a surge tank setup and pumps. so the standard fuel lines are fine. power goal as much as it can get hahaha with the -5s

-5's.

Well I am running 70% duty on ID 2000's (which are 2225 cc). *quick calc* = 1557cc worth of injector. Thats for 420 rwkw. Daniel has made 400 rwkw on ID 1000's. Different tuners, different dynos. No idea.

See how you go with your current setup.

Is it a built engine?

lol...

But ye... The setup you have should be fine. It's "in the middle" of other setups (where some are 1000cc & some are 2000cc). Stock rail is also fine.

Fuel pump - arguable. Seems fine for some, not for others, depends on the tuner - go with what you have and see really.

If your going E85, i might have to as well, can't have you with more power than me @ HH :turned:

Just a tip; the search button is in the top right hand side of your screen. Or on mobile version, down the bottom.

Every aspect of this conversion has been covered with results by various members who have done it previously.

I'd suggest spending the time and doing the research.

ripps, we have very similar setups (as do most of the people posting these questions) built 26, -5's (i'm running 2530's).

I just have an intank Nismo and ID1000's. That's it. Obviously there's nothing wrong with going a surge tank, dual pumps etc either, just depends on the setup

and r31nismoid i do believe you already have more power than me!

:unsure:

Noooo... I'm only on 350 ATM due to exhaust, surely you'd have more than me!

Ash... E85? No way! I'll believe it when I see it :thumbsup:

Well if the competition is doing it, you gotta change with the times.

Thinking a flex type setup actually. Lotta cash though to do it over my current setup.

ECU + MAP sensor is $1750 + $650 for sensor, looms and display + tuning

Sell Dinosaur FC for $700 odd, Nismo AFM's $500 odd.

It's not THHHATTT bad. You being the 'response' phene you are should be all over it!

DO IT!

hey guys, dont wanna start a new thread so ill ask here, as most setups are different im after an answer for mine -

Its running 18-20 psi and making just 300rwkw. As i'd like to lower the boost a little to save the motor that little more i was thinkin of e85 what would i need?

main mods included -

550cc injectors - dont know a/f ratio

gt3071 - highflow

pon cams

higher flowing pump - not sure which one its walbro i think not that that helps :/

and using a NIStune

and all other mods to reach the 300kw mark

P.S how good would an adjustable exh. cam gear effect the power (with having anything to do with e85 but as it is now)?????

Thankyou to who answers :thanks:

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.

      Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
