Did you know.... The first production car the Ford Model T 1908 was flex fuel compatible ? It could run just as good on ethanol as did on gasoline. There was a brass knob on the right side of the stee

Mick, I don't see the point of pushing every last kw out of an engine in a daily driver. I mean each to their own and all that - bit different for track cars. A tune will forever be a compromise betwe

what the wideband think of it?

and talk about quite cheaper than United/Fueltown

Flat 12 afr same as Southland. For some reason it feels like it has more poke if thats possible. Give it a try...

If you go to the Springvale road Caltex, pump 7 takes forever, use pump 8. :banana:

Sounds too small to me, If you are maxing your injectors now it would be a good idea to get at least 50% larger. You will require 20 - 30% more flow straight away.

I run 14mm 610cc Deka's with no problem on a VQ25det but on a 3L you may want more fuel than that. 044 should be fine.

Bang on mate.

My 570cc Siemens are maxing at 337 rwkw in the RB25/30 + GT3076R 20psi - single 044

Right now, I'm in no rush to fill up Ethanol but I'm keen to get the car ready on the next service.

Should I go 750cc or 870cc ? Same price too.

Would you expect with the 870's I might get rough idle/ bad economy.

What about driveability on a daily basis... The car right now is very smooth and linear.

Putting aside E85, would you expect the 3076 hasn't got much left and the 750's may be more suitable ?

Tuning is no issue with the Haltech S2000.

Sorry to drop so much at once.

Cheers.

S2000, just what my tuner recommended for mine once i'm bored with the Emanage Ultimate. :P

Personally I would go the 870's or larger if you plan to run E85 in the future. You're already doing pretty well with the 3076, is that with the .82 rear?

Yes, and stock manifold.

Also put the large can actuator on it. Holds 20psi flat line easy.

My mech says theres still more in it, maybe another 4 or so.

cheers.

Just got back from the caltex in preston and they have no idea of what E85 is also!! Does anyone know when its supposed to come in all those 10 pumps that they have said it should be coming soon in...

Definetly switching to E85 if it comes there soon, 5 mins from home!! :(

Just got back from Caltex, its definitely e85 and costs only 92.7c per litre.

Just to put a spanner in it, now on my third tank and it has richened considerably. Getting down to 10.5:1 now so looks like it is e70. One benefit is I got an extra 50k's to the last tank.

Im booked in for another touch up on a different dyno, I will have to make an e70 map now.

The price is fluctuating a bit, I asked the Caltex attendant and they said they are selling it at 20c under unleaded. I asked why as it has bugger all crude in it... Surely it shouldnt change price as drastically as 91. Perhaps we have had it too good at Southland.

I have tried most of the east side servo's Caltex listed, only Springvale and Clayton have it so far, the rest will be installed before the end of the year.

Latest tune, Caltex e70 FTW!

Stage 1 Sierra ATP highflow on a VQ25det. :geek:

So how come they changed from 85 to 70 just randomly I thought it was going to be switched at like hotter and colder months. What are you going to do now when it goes to 85 if your on the 70 tune?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
