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.

I forsee lots of expenditure in your future...and lots of smiling when you start the GTR

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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
