So the other day I poped in an seen my mechanic to talk about a set of cams for my r33gtst making 307rwkw an after about 5 minutes he ask me if I've considered e85, I said no as I "thought" there were no stations around where I live that stock it!

He fills me in with quit a few locations only 15minuts from where I live so now I'm interested all of a sudden:)

Having never researched e85 myself my trust was 100% in his hands..

Can someone give me some info on problems that I might incounter?

Also what's a realistic area of power that I will see after the tune is done?

Mods

High mount 35/40 63r

Greddy plenum

Cooler

3inch exhaust

Fpr

Custom rail

875cc injectors

Twin walbro 400lph pumps

plenty of benefits of going to E85 but i guess it depends on what you are doing with the car? My personal opinion is that if you are daily driving prob not the best option but each to their own

you will def need new injectors at the very least

Oil tends to become contimated due to the E85 so run something that suits...plenty of topics arount the net on it and most people lean towards the HPR range

as for your power increase you are looking at 20 -- 30wkw without changing anything but this will allow you to run more boost/timing etc etc so depends on what you want to achieve

Read the FI section - and search with "E85"

There are PLENTY of threads that go into intricate details - so closing this.

That said with a .63 GT35 has always been a bad turbo combination, simply changing to .82 you can net around 370rwkw on 20-22psi on pump with minimal lag increase (also plenty of detail in the FI section)

      *that* is a question for chatgpt (or someone that understands maths....but I'd try chatty). Drop them the table and ask for the formula

      Alright. Exhaust has been looked at, and booked in 'soon'. I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be as good as possible but I'm going to go with it anyway. If I get a reasonable thing that works for 10 years I mean that's twice as long as I've lived with the current one. I have a more pressing issue. I have fixed my MPVI3 (by buying a new one). Excellently, one can wire in analog 0-5v inputs to the ECU itself. I had wideband already via Serial so I also wired it in via the direct input. The idea being I can use the standalone logging without a laptop and have Wideband data in it. The other wire I thought I'd use oil temp. This is where I've gone crazy. HPTuners requires you to implement a formula so you know how much volts = how much temp. This seems relatively simple to me. However I cannot find the scale for this anywhere on the internet, nor decipher how to figure it out without removing the sensor from the car. All I know is that voltage actually goes up as temperature goes down. I am using the actual gauge, so I can see what the temp is. The signal wire has been branched off into the MPVI3. EXAMPLE: 2.68v = 58C 2.7 = 57C 2.74v = 56C 2.8V = 54C 3.06V = 49C 3.18V = 47C 3.37V = 43C I think the gauge is 50-150C. It may be more. It may be less, because I can't find it for the love of f**k. It appears all the information about the gauges I have has been scoured from the internet, but the sender is VDO 320.021 I believe the resistance chart is this How the f**k do I convert this to a voltage? Once I have a voltage... I then have to perform this transform of said voltage to show it in the scanner: https://www.hptuners.com/help/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm @GTSBoy you're probably my only hope here TEST YOUR MIGHT

      Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol.

      Hmm. I had a good look (w/o searching, because I'm not logging in) and couldn't see it either. I distinctly recall the thread, not many weeks ago. It must have been removed or perhaps put into the back section. If it was in Off Topic you should at least have been able to search it up. So if I'm not hallucinating, it is fairly decently removed.
