E85 On Rb25De Neo?

[Page34]

Hey guys

Been trying to find out how practical a e85 conversation would be for my na r34

Like wether it's worth the money or not

I have found stuff on turbos but nothing for na

I'd like to get a bit more power out of it whilst I'm on my ps and im getting it ready for a turbo later on

Cheers

Is your car stock now?

The only thing you would need is a Nistune chip and a tune which could come to $1000 - $1500

I would think that would give you a noticeable increase in power but not a massive one. A well made set of extractors would help but maybe not worth it if you are going to turbo it later. You should probably also get a more modern ethanol friendly fuel pump ($180).

If you do go ahead ideally you would do a before and after dyno run but to save money you could just measure your 80 to 120 time in third gear before and after.

it has a 3 inch cat back now and i will be putting on a hi flow cat soon

so i wouldn't i need to replace any of the fuel pipes or injectors? iv seen that ethanol doesn't mix with rubber very well

and are thoughs 255l/h pumps on eBay any good?

Totally not worth it if you haven't done much engine work - you'll gain a few hp at best.

I would avoid ebay due to many fuel pumps being cheap copies and then sold as a big name brand like walbro.

Best to buy from a established dealer like Kudos motorsports etc.

if you do tune while the engine is NA you will need to use a turbo r34 ECU as the na ecu wont work, the turbo ecu is the only ecu supported for the nistune

Waste of time man, unless your car has ultra high compression or something it wont make a big difference. A lot of the time you can reach MBT on 98RON.

Fair enough

Just cheaking it all out

Might think about doing at down the track when I turbo it or sell it and buy a turbo model

I have seen plenty of e85 conversions done on the cheap, minimal gains but the other benefits can be a bonus. Should even work out cheaper to run.

Simply running 30% larger injectors will do the trick on the stock ecu. Might be a bitch to start in the dead of winter though. Injector pulse width adjustment boxes are a cheap option also, but they need to be 'tuned'. (Like injected gas systems) or even bumping the fuel pressure is an option...

It can be great fun playing with ethanol via simple methods, but I suggest you get a wideband fitted at least, just to check your wot mixtures. $130us for the WB o2 unit is hard to beat.

e85 would be sweet on a NA+t conversion though

Would be better on a normal det.
