Used for about 6 months lines looked good.

Pulled the injectors out to compare the O-rings to new ones. Couldnt tell the difference between the two. O-rings were as flexible as the new ones, no cracks.

Apologies if this is in one of the preceding pages (or on another thread).

Was reading the latest HP magazine about Donnan making a methanol/U98 blend in lieu of E85 and he reported very good results. There are a couple of points in the article that seem too good to be true:

* The methanol by the nature that it is blended with U98 is not "corrosive" as per straight methanol as used in drag cars.

* The methanol was easy and cheap (~$1.00/L) to obtain.

* Similar flow rates to normal U98 means that existing fuel hardware may be suitable, although a retune is required to gain the maximum benefits.

Anyone have experience with this?

I just swapped an RB25 powered DR30 from Martini race fuel to Powerplus E85, The Injectors are now to small so i had to drop 5psi boost, The car raced this weekend and did its best ever lap times in 15years in super poor weather Almost matching WAs best ever Skyline time in perfect conditions, 61.8 long track at Wanneroo on 8inch rims and RE55s in a DR30 and the poor weather is flying.

what heat range spark plugs are you guys running with your ethenol verse pump gas?

over here we run

ngk 7s in 90% of the turbod nissans we tune on 98 pump gas. as it helps aviod detonation

i think from memory we ran ngk 7s in the ethenol mixed cars we tuned also.

although a slightly warmer plug may benifit cold starting with the cooler burning ethenol

although we havn't really don't a lot of playing around with ethenol fuel apart from a couple cars to see what kind of gains you could get out of them

Next one.

The V8 supercars aparently run E85 now.

Anyone know what blend the control fuel is for the V8 Supercars ?

85 % ethanol + U98 / U91 /109 / etc etc ???

I been checking the regs but can't find any solid info.

We sell 85% Ethanol and 15% 110 Racefuel in 205 drums in Perth, Huge numbers of WA Racecars are using it now. 116RON, 108MON.

Gains over Racefuels E85 has been very good.

Whats the cost for 205 litre drum?

Just thought i would mention, a silvia that was tuned at JEM a few day ago cranked out a very impressive 407rwkw on E85 (out of the bowser)

This SR has had alot of engine work and produced the numbers with a hybrid T04Z at 30psi.

In 3 weeks JEM will get their hands on my mates RB25/30 that has been solely built to run on E85.

Hoping to crack the 500rwkw mark ;)

Fingers crossed!

One of these days someone'l strap on a GT4088R (which you can buy locally) and they will be the "new" gun turbo for that power range . The switched on Americans absolutely love them because they are very resposive and provided the engine is up to it make the power standing on their ear . Magic combination of housings/wheels/trims BUT must be used only in twin scroll form with the proper matching turbine housings .

If you ever get to hold one of these 88Rs in your hands you'd think hmm , big (T4) mount flange but not that much larger overall than a GT3582R with a 1.06 A/R turbine housing . Normal in/out comp housing fittings meaning none of that GT42R bulk or odd truck connections . They were designed to be a performance petrol turbo so have no diesel engine ancestry .

One day , cheers A .

I like this mans posts.. totally on topic and off topic at the same time :down:

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
