Want to see footage of this beast sooner rather than later please :)

I have a few runs on the pump blends that I took last night. I know the last E85 run they will take some video. Ill upload it tonight if I get a chance.

Ive got some footage of it from tonight (only cam phone footage) but just got home :( Went for a run in it tonight (on low boost) and faark me she lights up all 4 285 RSR's in 1st and just rips ya face off! Easily the fastest car ive ever been in. Its a special car Paulie well done son! :)

What's low boost? Who has low boost? Where's the boost ?

Different boost levels for different ethanol contents smarty :P. I figured I may aswell use the features on the controller.

BC OFF which is 20ish psi

"1" Is 20 ish psi but using the controller to bring it on earlier.

"2" is 24-25 early on settling to 23 top end - to be used with ethanol content over 50

"3" is 28 early on setting to about 26 top end.

Yavuz has put a "oh shit, I've left it on 3 and I have a tank full of 98" safeguard into the ECU. Over a certain boost level with under "x" ethanol content and it'll pull 10 degrees of timing.

Only drove it on "1" last night. Felt quite nippy!

Ill try and upload some videos now. It was only the 98 runs.

One thing I did notice was just how much using the boost controller made to the curve!!!! Even with modified actuators, playing with the controller can make as much as 75 kw difference through the midrange. Ill try and dig out some runs next time I'm out there. Damn crappy waste gate creep!

Great build and results .

Might have missed it but what oil are you running with E85?

I'm running Valvoline Racing 50.

You asked for an oil analysis of my Castrol Edge when I dropped mine out a few weeks back, eager to see if this weapon is rocking the same oil as mine

I'll be getting this tested after I do a few Kms. See how it comes out.

I thought you need atleast a API of sn for ethanol fueled cars that oil is sh

This debate is never ending! haha.

My last engine I was running the Motul 300V 15W-50 and people looked at me like I was an alien when I said I was running that. My bearings came out pretty bloody awesome considering what had happened. I never experienced any "jelly" stuff coming out of the sump like some said it would.

What would you recommend?

Awesome, interested to see how this turns out. How is it in price compared to the drug money that Edge is?

Honestly I was expecting all kinds of horribleness to come out of my sump with the conditions I run mine in, but it just looked like regular old oil to me. After all the reading etc I was halfway prepared for sea monkeys to be in the oil when I checked it.

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
