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

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
