I'll do mine the day E85 is readdily available on the North side, that is the only thing holding me back. it is still (for now) a daily.

Hopefully they will bring it closer some day... When mine is running i use it as a daily more than i really should

My wife will kill me if I swap to fuel I have to drive 80k's for no matter how much fun it would be to have extra HP to play with. I will need injectors too and probably a surge tank and lift pump.

I would like E85 too but replacing the fuel system seems a bit of a pain in the ass at the moment.

I get away with only an in tank pump at the moment

If you are doing Crank trigger you might as well do it if only to prepare for the inevitable itch to pump moar power into it.

One step at a time! Install Link, then crank trigger, then Flex sensor and fuel system. But between crank trigger and flex sensor comes new daily.

Pretty much! I took it for a careful drive on the weekend actually, it sucks not being able to give it the boot!

Its a Walbro 460 E85 one.

Just read through your build thread, your old tuner was doing you a major disservice. With the same turbo also on 98 I made 260rwkw at 14 psi and 328 or somthing like that at 20psi on Richards dyno. Glad you made the switch!

i was actually quite depressed with the original figures from Mercury when it only made 260rwkw's after turbo upgrade. I thought it was really underpowered and thought it might be cause i kept it low mounted and internally gated that i lost a bit of HP.

Similar thing with my old Tuner, Richard has some Magic fingers when it comes to tuning and he is straight up with everything too which is a major selling point in a Mech / Tuner for me.

I was the same, stock exhaust mani and internally gated turbo

He is good!

Do you use Richard as well Andy? Top little workshop he has there i reckon. Two hoists and a dyno. there was 7 cars including mine there today. Its only him and a young fella who are working there too.

His knowledge is great, specially when it comes to explaining things as I know a decent amount bt am no car wizard. Think the young bloke there owns a cressida with some quality stance. Seen it there every time i go

I used him before Dan and Sean came along. Now Dan is gone I will use him should I need a mechanic again.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
