E85 In A R32 Gts-T Skyline

[R32 Josh]

i am what you would call a newbie.

and i was simply just wondering to convert my skyline to e85

what would i have to do ?

cheers, sorry if its the wrong place.

Plenty of threads out there dude

Check out the forces induction section and you will see a few ethanol threads in there.

Off the top of my head you need these basics.

-Injectors

-Tunable ECU

-Fuel pump

-Fuel Sensor

Are you after power, or just to convert to e85? There are plenty of off the shelf kits available to simply change the injector pulse duty for running ethanol in any vehicle, but it isn't like what most turbo guys run for maximum power. You really need a standalone ecu for that.

[R32 Josh]

im just trying to change it, i got done by HW and im getting sent to DECC Mechanic. my mate said i wont pass unless i change to e85 and change my exhaust

[Anfanee]

WUT?

[scotty nm35]

Oh. well any aftermarket ecu won't pass either... You may need to look at the kits.

It is highly likely you wont do an emissions test, just a sound test and inspection.

Just quieten the exhaust up, enclose the pod filter (if you have one) and make sure nothing vents to atmosphere.

And make sure you have a stock cat on. So they don't have a reason to test

DECC inspection needs to have factory items fitted. They generally take pics of the car when pulled over, when it goes for the inspection, and the on a database with stock engine bays.

Back when I had my DECC test the inspection guy had a checklist to tick, a quick glimpse I could see

He even had to draw a diagram of the exhaust, drawing all mufflers, the cat and how the exhaust ran under the car.

[NYTSKY]

Ive done 3 DECC inspections and passed with a custom 4 inch exhaust and an 800hp motor. Pics were taken on the rd and taken at the inspection, as long as you dont change "viewable" items between pictures taken its ok.

As long as all aspects are legal (noise, plumbed back) you will be fine.

High flow cats are legal in NSW.

Oh sweet

I was more talking about he should make sure he has a cat on the exhaust rather than not having one

From what you've seen, do the 100cpi ones pass?

I rather min 200cpi for peace of mind (ideally 400cpi, I'm guessing standard are 800+?).

[Manuel Kasko]

I think what he meant was they aren't a direct defect. If they could pass emissions or not is a different story and would depend on cells and quality I guess

[NYTSKY]

Correct, high flow cats themselves are not a defect. To pass emissions you need a Euro 5 cat with 500+ cells and a really good tuner.

My 500 cell cat and my one cell cat are identical from the outside so even if they took a pic on the rd and at the inspection they would see the same thing.

As for noise my 4inch turbo back was 88db with some minor "modifications".
