yeah he is where i got the idea from :blink:

the Blitz 555's are $690, will i need an aftermarket fuel rail for them or new regulator?

Don't be WEAK!!!!

Go for a set of 800's so you can tune it for E85 as its now available in SA and soon to be rolled out everywhere. :)

haha Joel loves his E85. my worry is the availability, if im running close to empty, and there aren't any e85 servos around?

Don't tune for it just yet.. But at least you know you will have the head room in the injectors when your ready to. :D

A set of sard twin spray 800cc's pull up fine and return stock economy. Don't buy single squirter's they are crap under 2k.

You need around 35% more injector with E85. So for ~300rwkw you will need ~700cc injectors with E85.

Depends on the dyno but 550's generally hit 80% at around 300-310rwkw. + the E85 as you can crank some timing in to it and it just won't ping will make another 30rwkw odd.

Just sucks 34 injectors are so expensive in that size. ;)

Mate, Nismo gear goes straight in without any different plugs, fuel rails n all that bullshit...

Cubes, whats the go with E85 eating at your fuel pumps, lines, injectors? Im curious!

im now officially an unemployed bum ;)

but i must say working for the gov was the best job i ever done

best day working there was handing out free suncream to people at the big day out giving me a free ticket into bdo and getting paid my normal accounts wage while there :D boo ya

feel free to let me know if you hear any accountant type jobs going.

Yeah i read that too Ryan, apparently even the fuel tank should be changed the stainless steel, and you have to remove all rubber, foam etc from the fuel setup.

bah its load of crap. :D

Ethanol actually cleans. Not quite as good as water injection but damn close.

Unless you leave it in your tank for 1+month only then does it begin to absorb water.

Unless you have an aluminium fuel tank you don't have to worry. ;)

Bosch fuel pumps are designed with ethanol in mind.

The 'only' issue E85 has is with 'old' fuel line.

I've replaced my fuel hose from the tank to front with suitable hose from pirtek cost me a total of $40. These cars are 10+ years old now its worth while replacing fuel hose regardless of fuel especially when base fuel pressure (36-40psi) + boost (20psi) = up to 60psi of pressure running through 10+year old often surface cracked fuel hose = disaster waiting to happen.

Dino fuels leave deposits, so when you change to Bio fuel it will clean out the system. Its a food idea to replace your fuel filters regularly for the first few thousand k's (ie at 2K and again at 5k)

As for fuel lines, if you still have the original rubber ones replace them (they are overdue anyway), and if you have replaced them in the last 2 years you should be fine. Its the same argument for E85 as Bio-Diesel, much of it is scare tactics, other bits are common sense.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
