That is huge, interesting. I did a conversion a few weeks back, only got a 12 odd kw increase from 348 to 360 at 19 psi. This is with all supporting mods, big exhaust, -5's, fuel system etc. Pulls like a train it's awesome and im happy but looking at some of these results it's not a big increase.

For those on straight e85 tunes how do you go about sourcing fuel? Do you buy it in drums or fill up jerries?

Only place I know that sells it is in Rozelle which isn't a close drive.

EDIT: Also misread that dyno chart, 370kw is crazy!

Minto united for you then freind

Minto is straight E85 not eflex?

Also, back to my earlier question about the pods. Would $200 be spent better on buying a stock airbox or a pod enclosure?

EDIT: How much e85 would you expect to go through at a track day?

Here is the latest -7 and e85 result. Std rb26 with camgears and r32 gtr airbox.. Saw no gains over 22psi..... but a decent gain from 312rwkw on pump 98.

That looks very similar to a -5 result. Interesting!

what setup and ecu?

Best E85 servo for you would probably be newbridge rd :)

Pretty sure Newbridge Rd is just an eflex. Minto isn't too far though and it's pretty much on the way to Wakefield and Eastern Creek.

I won't get an eflex tune unless I absolutely needed one. $2k is bloody expensive!

This is the 2nd -7 + e85 50kw gain i've seen in the last 3 months, just shows that e85 is really needed in some cases to maximise the set-up potential

That first one (if it was usmair or whatever), didn't come close to the MPH to back it up, in fact the MPH showed it has zero gain, where the "dyno" said there was 40rwkw...

I'd like to see Trent's result hit the strip and pump out a MPH.

As with a few other people on here actually... It seems some have pretty "hefty" increases that seem to defy what everyone else are getting.

(not having a go at anyone here either, just wanna see more info).

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
