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.

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.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
