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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
