It wont be that easy :thumbsup:

what makes you say that?

as long as you have fuel setup sorted and you have appropriate boost control there shouldnt b too much dramas

ppl say you get 15-20% increase in power from e85

so a 330kw GTR should crack 375kw on e85... theoritically atleast

What makes Paul say that is no doubt that he makes 400kw, and knows that theory can be a long way from reality.

By all means try your theory, go get some ID2000's, a large fuel pump or two 044's, whatever EBC you like, -9's and see how you go at 24psi. Let us know how you go

Generally it seems to only be around 20-30rwkw though in terms of gains. I think 350-360rwkw would be more realistic.

What would be more interesting though... How much earlier would they come on?

Given everyone seems to gain a few hundred RPM response. Getting -9s on even sooner would really be quite something.

Whilst 200-300rpm might not sound like a lot, if its coming up in/out of throttle faster too... It would be awesome!

Yeh I'm gonna.. as soon as caltex get some elfex around my area

Would b interesting with -9s

ID1000s won't b enough?

I suppose it depends on who tunes it.

Im running ID 2000's (2225cc) and at 400rwkw im using a Duty cycle of about 63% IIRC (AFR's are about 11.6:1 Petrol corrected according to my wideband (Roughly .80 Lambda)). If you calculate that back thats just on 1400 CC worth of injector. Thats on a 2.8 with GT RS's at 1.75 bar. Its a little low as my exhuast was choking it like a whore.

Whilst 200-300rpm might not sound like a lot, if its coming up in/out of throttle faster too... It would be awesome!

That's what you do notice. That half to full throttle instant response. Well I use 'instant' very loosly with GT RS's. It was alot better with E85! pinch.gif

What area are you in? Its at a few places now, so if the skyline isn't your daily driver you'll be fine.

You're talking a 2.6L right? Mine maxed 1000's at 403rwkw but its an rb30 - capacity makes a difference.

Yeah this is an interesting point.

My throttle response hasn't got any better or worse since before and after the E85 swap. I took the time to make sure it was how I wanted it while it was on pump though.

Edit; I dont mean turbo lag.

I see that stated a lot but can't understand why! Can you explain why would engine capacity makes a difference?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
