E85 Twin Turbo -5 power results

[Stixbnr32]

Hello,

I am thinking of upgrading my fuel system to E85 and wonder what sort of power I will get with my -5 garrets?

I have to upgrade my injectors anyway to push these turbos further on 98 but will I get much more power going to e85?

 

Thanks

Nice. Built as in forged or just rebuilt? And remains 2.6?

And you get yours with the -5's on it or did you install them?

E85 will be the juice of the gods for you! Keen to see the power curve with that setup when it gets up on the rollers. Also I feel you will be going single in no time at all!

eFully forged bottom end.  Tomei Pistons and Nitto Conrods.

does have stock crank.

still 2.6.

Yes well single turbo.....pockets are not that big at the moment.

The driver for this is to get rid of the HKS F-con V as no one  good can tune it in NZ now.  So if I am going to retune I may aswell set it up better.

with the 600cc injectors maxed I got 384KW ATW's but we pegged it back abit for the street I got about 375ish.  I have 30,000 KM's so far on this tune and build.  Soichi who was a legend here in NZ did fantastic work.

So for a baseline do you have a dyno chart of the 384kW pull?

[Stixbnr32]

I sure do somewhere.  I will need to find it.

Don’t expect the snails to last long at this level.

I got just shy of 500hp with a fairly tame -5 setup + e85 (details + dyno in build thread in sig if your interested), based on a recent tear down it's likely not all cylinders were round at the time ?

Best thing about e85 compared to 98 was filled all the shortcomings of the low-mid range the setup had, it took a fun, but laggy setup to something very usable in all situations.

Car should be back in a couple of weeks as most of the work is done now, so will be interesting to see what a fresh 2.6 with only a mild compression bump produces in comparison.

Still in NZ?  Who will be tuning it?  I'd expect with a decent fuel system on board you should be able to go WELL into the 400kw @ hubs range on their dyno, I'd say high 400s could be doable.  One of the lads I know cracked 500kw at DTech with his HKS 2530Kais with some ethanol on board on a good RB28 build

[Stixbnr32]

Yeah still in NZ.  Hopefully one of the boys joe kyle or glenn suckling.

Easily 450kw+ on E85 I'd say, if everything is set up and working well together

Get a crank/cam trigger kit.. dont rely on the ol' sensor.

Good point, or at the least an NZ Wiring cam angle sensor kit

Joe doesn't tune. In Auckland now that Soichi has gone to Aus that really just leaves Glenn Suckling ...although there are tuners in Papakura and Pukekohe that I don't personally know).
