Some have had issues with ryco filters around high 300's kW on e85.

I'm not sure what to replace mine with before the new engine goes in

There are a few options, I use a SpeedFlow 10 micro SS screen filter, Weldon have 7 micro fiberglass E85 safe filter

And I am sure others have different things they are using :thumbsup:

Cool I think I'll get the same. $200 for the filter sound about right? I'm getting all my speedflow weld on fittings from the same seller.

Rewired directly to pump from battery (in boot) with relay

I had my one set up exactly the same when I was running one pump. However I had issues as the pump was overheating when below 1/4 tank and pushing it. It was all fine when it had more fuel than that.

I'm at 448kw on e85 stock fuel lines stock fuel pressure with a 460

Had a flow gauge on it and is at it's safest limit

Hey mate, out of curiosity what would be your next step if you were to push it further - can you go larger in-tank pump or will you have to look at going external?

Twin 460's?

The problem is the tank lid, and getting the thick wiring through it. If only there was a cheap alloy lid available. I have been keen to make a few on the lathe, but the sealed power connectors are my main issue.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
