Running an old Wolf V4 that struggles a bit to get the tune refined.

Using 550cc RX7 injectors now but will run 910 siemens injectors if I switch to E85.

Obviously the bigger injectors will struggle more to find a good tune, but has anyone here tried tuning big injectors on a fairly old school ecu with E85? is it a harder fuel to tune or will it be easier due to the fact that it requires more fuel for the same power levels?

Will injector quality help this?

Don't wanna build a big fuel system with the works, get it to the dyno and find the ECU is just struggling overtime.

I don't think you would have an issue if you went with Bosch ev14's, not sure about the Siemens.

I recommend the Xspurt 1000's for e85 use, even ID's have apparently had issues with e85 coagulating to jelly, I suspect after mixing with the flow test fluid they use, and warranty returns to the US can be pointless. Guys, make sure you run ID's on petrol first.

yes but NOW they have a released an injector that is alcohol friendly.. :rolleyes:

you notice how it is exactly 30% bigger than there old ones :rofl:

ID725, 850, 1000 compatible with all known fuels. Compatible does not mean they aren't susceptible to problems caused by ethanol's love for gobbling up water, IF you abuse the injectors by letting ethanol sit in your tank for months they will die, this is common sense. ID1300 being stainless internals will have better resistance to corrosion IF there is water in the fuel. This is more likely in a race car that sees no action between meetings, with the older IDs you should pickle the engine by running it on petrol but with the ID1300 this is less important. In a road car seeing regular use I'm not seeing a massive advantage for the 1300's, heaps of people running 1000's + E85 without failures.

Yes I think the same of the stainless 1300s and if demand is there they may do the short 850 GMs and 1000s as well .

I can see where 1000s could be limiting on a 4 cylinder but 6s get an easier time with similar power outputs .

It's logical that a good injector sized properly will make the best of a more basic computer .

A .

Yeah would be nice, I ummed and aaahhed about the 1300's but they are quite a bit more expensive and at low pulsewidths they have a bit of ugly non-linearity. Totally doesn't matter for race cars, but I tend to think for road cars they might not be quite as well mannered as the regular offerings. I just ordered a set of short ID850-GM for my car so it fits under the inlet manifold more easily. Since my power goal is only around 250rwkw and it's a daily, 850cc is plenty. I'm not sure how frequently I'll run ethanol, it comes down to cost. I would like to run it regularly but time will tell.

Stao is making over 400rwkw using 800cc injectors and E85. That's plenty :P I couldn't afford new tyres at the rate 400rwkw would blow through them!

Definitely keen on running E85.. :) should be fun. I wouldn't run 91 octane in a fit, I guess what I said came across as cheap.. if I can get a good E85 tune then I will probably run it more.

Already posted in the hypergear thread and they said just go for it.

But I was wondering if anyone here knows how much power on E85 HKS 555 injectors could make.

Been running them in on my 98 tune for the past year making 250rwkw.

Thinking about going E85 but don't want to fork out for new injectors again.

E85 uses approx 30% more fuel than PULP. If you can multiply your current tune's duty cycle by 1.30 then you will get your new duty cycle (near enough), as long as that's less than 85% you're good to go.

A mate has an R33 with Nismo 555's and is making 240rwkw at about 45% duty. So there is heaps of headroom to run E85 on the same setup.

I keep telling people to go the 1000's but they insist on buying 5-600's, then complain when they max out. Just buy them and sell the 555's to some other sucker. :P

That adds extra money to my plans scotty :(

I'm not made of money dude!
Can you move to Canberra so I can have you do all my welding etc

Clutch will max out at 300 anyways.

So only wanted to get about 280-285

My gearbox has been out 3 times already so I'm not too keen to go down the slippery slope of upgrade after upgrade

Haha okay you talked me into it scotty!! fark!
I'm crashing at your place if I get kicked out for not paying rent.

Also now you have to help me with what highflowing E85 injectors I should be getting to fit in my stock rail.

Don't go telling me to purchase a new rail as well haha

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
