Hi all.

Ok so i have decided to save the rb30 build for a later date, mainly because I need to get my motor out, built and back in as quick as possible due to it being my daily and having no spare. Anyway, I have a forged bottom end on its way as well as arp head stud kit plus vrs to rebuild head and gaskets to stock.

I also have a haltech plus a hg 43g3 on the way and walbro fp. My question is, I have some 800cc injectors here from a previous build. Do you think these will be enough? I know 300kw is prob starting to push them but will I get away with it for a while? I havent played with e85 before so i dont even know if 300rwkw is even realistic with that setup. Opinions? Thanks in advance.

From what I've gathered, you need to pretty much double your injectors for an e85 build. If your turbo is in that range and you've got a decent tuner 300rwkw on e85 should be a breeze.

I'm currently pricing up an e85 build on my rb25, aiming for 400-450awhp and have been told I'll need a big fcker of a pump and 1000cc injectors.

My guess is should be ok with upped fuel pressure

Hope that helps

800cc injectors = 435hp at the wheels

We used to devide injector size by 12 but have found it to be more like 11

435rwhp = more than 300rwkw. So I should be right. But I may be better to just go 98 Ron for the moment and up injector size and retune in 6 or so months when I have cash. Don't want to be too close to the limit.

435rwhp at what duty cycle?

435rwhp is a safe maximum assuming your pump is up to the task.

For 300rwkw (400rwhp) you need 4.5L/min fuel flow to be safe

If i have 750cc injectors and i go for a tune with a nismo fuel pump @ 14v how much rwkw can i expect ? I am wanting hopefully around 320rwkw on E85.

Or should i grab some 1000cc injectors to be safe ?

And if i want to drive to the tuner, can i just plug in that nistune cable and then set the injector size on the pre-existing tune or is there more to it ?

Thanks

Need to know more than what injectors u have mate lol! The nismo pump will be fine I believe they are good for up to 400kw........Stand to be corrected if I'm wrong lol

Ok cool. Sounds like it will be close enough. I'm running a walbro 90000267 e85 pump. If that runs out ill just use my old one as a lift pump and run 2 of the e85 pumps off a surge tank.

I think the way to go is to just run e85 and tune it to a safe injector duty cycle and be happy with it until I've got money for bigger squirters.

Cheers for the assistance.

Its already made 304rwkw on 98 fuel so the other mods are fine, im just worried the injectors are too small for e85. Is it bad if they are at like 90% duty cycle ? Its not a track car so i wont WOT all the time.

I have made 360rwkw with Nismo 740cc with some head room. You will be fine at 320rwkw.

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
