In regard to the more fuel argument, even if you do get more fuel in there, the cylinder's the same size so the exhaust gases would be the same volume (unless more volume of air was in there) or would it be less because you know have more fuel and less air?

I never was that good at understanding engines :blink:

If you put more of anything in the front, you get more out the back.

So, Can you run higher compression on E85? Would it yield more results?

Hypothetically, Say you were building and engine and you plan to run it on E85, a stabler fuel should allow for more compression, yielding more power. Especially down low, and off boost.

Of course, I've no idea what I'm talking about.

Furthermore, I guess there's no going back to 98pulp after you build a high comp engine. And on the track, most engines are on boost rather than off. So it's prolly not viable.

But is it possible?

Very possible - we intend on running more compression with the F6 we are building atm, aiming for around 850rwhp on E85.

i think its more of a reality then a posibility, just look at the compression ratio alcohol / methanol cars run.. over 11:1

yep for sure.. the higher effective octane rating of E85 means you can squander that advantage either

with higher boost at the top end, or much higher compression to gain more torque everywhere although

at higher compression I guess this would diminish the ultimate boost limit at the top.. where the headline

power figure is made.

Now what you really want is a variable compression ratio engine! that would be the best, especially

if you combine with variable cam timing.

compare the flexibility of a hawk's wing to the relatively fixed wing of a plane! smart variability should be the ultimate

goal of every machine..

Is that N/A or boosted tough.

E85 would be awesome if you were turbocharging a normally N/A car. No need to reduce compression.

ok so i have a rb25+t turbo conversion, with higher comp ratio,

what would i have to do to run this fuel, apart from a tune, bigger injectors?

the car already has the usual mods, bosch 023 pump, Fmic, full exhaust, and getting a remap soon,

thanks, sorry if it has been covered, but 20 pages is a lot of reading lol

put on decat today and run it up again

I cant believe the results mate, amazing!!!

340rwkw out of a .68 housing. Thats GT35R territory.

Cant wait to get mine on the road and tuned on this stuff.

Yeah still blows me away....You wont be dissapointed thats for sure

who's up for running E85 for power cruise ? where is the nearest outlet? I was thinkin bout pushing my beast to 400rwkw for power cruise and with standard rb25 cams im going to need to be running e85...

Anthony,

There are two Enhance service stations that sell e85 that are about 15 mins from WSID: Coner of Rawson and Ferndell, South Granville, and Hume Highway, Carramar (south side, just west of Meccano lights).

thanks charlie..

was good meeting you yesterday, thanks for saying hello!

I am if i can get my engine run in properly before hand.

I have 2x 20L drums that will be filled with E85 that i will be taking just incase.

im keen...need to add a 2nd set of injectors though...and maybe another fuel pump.

/nods

okay.. im going to do the switch back to e85 on the second week of feb.. i went to the united servo in newcastle and asked them about e85, the guy had no idea what i was on about and gave me the nsw area managers number.

Im going to be ringing him up and hassling him :)

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
