what he said ^^^ :)

mine were gonna be getting around the 100% around the 360kw mark with an E85 walbro pump so i upgraded to 2000cc inj. food for thought

Did you check and monitor fuel pressure on the dyno?

So I've just taken this ryco filter out..

Cannot blow through it. It's clogged so bad it's not funny. As in, air goes in and doesn't come out the other side clogged .

from my experience hearing from people running E85 i dont think you get much change from 1000cc inj, after about 350kw :)

**** running E85.

is the guy that built your car running E85?

correct me if im wrong but running more fuel pressure you can use less duty cycle??

Replaced filter, 80% duty in 3rd at 7500 rpm. Not sure how that compares to 4th gear on dyno however.

This was my exact experience.

I have heard other people run into walls at ~330-370kw with mysterious fuel problems on R34's when everything else seems ok, replace the filter. At least on E85.

I upgraded to 1400's thinking my 1000's had maxxed out but found out that wasn't the case. 1000's on e85 seem to really get hairy at 400, though some people reckon they've done 450+ on them? Can never really have too much injector headroom nowadays anyway. Good enough excuse to upgrade :P

Exactly, that is how we found the flow was dropping off. You have no idea what is happening without a gauge on the feed line, and you need to be on a dyno if the gauge is in the engine bay.

Speaking of which, it seems some factory regs can be too small for the 460L pumps, they don't bypass enough. The S15 I worked on recently was tuned at 60psi at idle, no wonder the car wouldn't idle well with twice the fuel pressure it should have had. It is definitely an important test that should be checked after any major fuel system mods.

are the nismo considered factory reg ?

No, they seem to work fine. I only realised the SR regs were too small after having idle issues on petrol after installing a 460L intank. Checked the pressure and found it way too high. Perhaps the RB's will be fine as there are 2 more injectors bleeding fuel pressure off...

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
