found this on ebay i know lol. he says its a stainless steel filter capable of 10microns and thoughts or experiences?

It look much the same as all the other brands, but no mention of ethanol compatibility, unlike the two I mentioned.

Seems to be a good price though. Worst case you shove a paper element in there, and replace the two Orings...

Did I miss something...is there a special filter needed for E85?

Yh from the research I've done some paper filters disintegrate with the ethanol. Just like how it eats up most things.

Yh he said it's compatible so will go for this.

I haven't seen ethanol eat anything yet, 5 years of testing should be plenty right? Perhaps with pre 90's fuel systems it may be an issue.

I think people get mixed up with Methanol. Don't believe the hype...

The extent of my E85 supporting mods are my 040, Nismo 555s, Z32 and PFC.

Have been running it for 3-4 months without issue. Just running a standard Ryco inline filter and standard fuel lines...thought this was fine as long as you changed them with your oil filters :/

+1

standard lines are fine and a ryco filter is all i have too...its fine but does need changing more regularly as cheap insurance..mine did get horribly blocked after a few thousand kms...i think where you buy your e85 makes a big difference tool..try find new servos with new tanks if possible

Website may be a bit biased, given the domain and title, but I do believe this information myself and real world results (that I've seen) appear to support it:

I use a genuine Nissan fuel filter and change every service, I only fill up from caltex Tempe/kirawee and united yavoona(rookwood)

I cut my filters up everytime I change em and they seem good to me never found any more dirt in the filter compared to when I had 98...

So 70 psi fuel pressure on boost. I hope you have a good fuel pump. :P

Actual output will vary wildly, but I would guess around 380kw or so, perhaps more if you can bump up the pressure with a high pressure capable pump.

The pump is not my concern, another Z32 is running E85, 22PSI on stock snails on 800's and is hitting 90% IDC. The Z32 is pump is fine, he even runs a 75shot over that too.

was thinking around the 350+ mark, doesn't necessarily mean rocking up to im240 running 30 pound and expecting to pass though..

But in saying that, showing up with a setup that is well capable of much bigger power but doesn't veer off the photo's and parts listed on the engineers report.

Hey guys.

So very happy to be back home. I missed out on soo much being away!

I am really happy that this thread is still going on, sorry that i have not been active in it, its just that in the UAE there is no ethanol fuels, although i did hear that one workshop was buying 100% from a pharmaceutical company for their race cars... The 98 fuel there is amazing, i have seriously tuned 1000hp cars on the stuff, but since i have been back I have learned how bad the fuel here is compared to what it was back there.

So since i have been back I have got Guilt-Toy 2.0, yes it is the same car.... :)

I tried to keep this car standard, however i keep doing mods to it, why i have no idea...

I started with a completly stock car, then went with a full turbo back stainless exhaust, and bell mouth dump, and a hks 2535 turbo charger, has a pod filter and decent fmic that came from Nytsky's car apparently.... walbro 460 e85 pump, kinugawa wastegate actuator with 1 bar spring, evo mr bov... thats about it!

I went with a z32 ecu that i modified to suit a r33 gtst rb25det series 1, and i am doing eprom tunes, no need to go for a nistune board if you can burn eproms yourself! (putting my experience to good use for myself for once!)

So yeah i have been driving around on 230ish kw for the last 7 months or so, and now i have got a decent set of injectors and decided to chuck them in, they went in today and a quick 10 minute tune to achieve 244rwkw on 12psi on a pretty hard tune on the timing side of things, what i want to achieve and prove to myself more then anything the difference you can gain from 98 to united e85.

We got a united servo 15 mins drive from my place here, so im going to go fill up and see how she goes!!

I own my own dyno now!!, and plenty of time to play around and do what i enjoy so much.

So here is the dyno sheet of the car today, on 12psi boost i am 100% sure i cannot extract anymore power out of this stock rb25 engine at this boost level.

In the next week or so i will be going to united e85 and tuning it on the same wastegate pressure of 12 psi, to see what gains i can get on the same pressure then i will be turning up the boost and going for my magical power figure (dream figure) of 300rwkw from this small hks turbine.

The turbo is going strong, and it is just a hks 2535 internal gate setup, have the stock intake pipe as well.

Will be posting some pics and anything that i can during the change over. I would like to get 2.0 passed the emissions test and engineered like the original was before it went overseas.

So yeah thanks for keeping the thread alive guys, SAU FOREVER!!! you guys rock and expect to see more posts from me doing aussie stuff from now on!!! I was talking to a customer whos car i tuned the other day and he mentioned this thread, and how he went through them all, and it made me realise i better get back into it!

Anthony

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
