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?

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
