20psi yeah? did you guys have a chat about boost level on stock internals?

yeah my limit is still 20 for reliability sake but on a bigger turbo like this it is still ultra efficient so the head room is higher than say a high flow at the same boost. (the point of diminishing return).

I would be happy on E85 to push probably another 20-30rwkw out of hamish's car for dyno queen status but we really wanted a direct comparo @ the same boost.

Oh and prepare your self for an sms daniel :D i hear you want to play dyno's on friday.

hahahah, me????? of course not... :D

Stao will be happy, he's always telling me to run 30psi :)

:)

haha 30psi rolls off stao's tongue too easy :) if only it was soo easy.

aahh... interesting

seems like run of the mill oils car manu's don't have issues with.. but it seems the high end oils aren't necessarily suited.... interesting

i should probably do an UOA on the Amsoil when i change it next

what boost control are you running?

i would have expected boost to hold up better with E85 due to the increased combustion gas due to extra fuel?

did you find that the engine runs a lot cooler? EGTs will be cooler

its good to see some comparision maps on a dyno that can't wheel slip..

the tests we have done at work with a GTRS on a stock SR20de+t with E85 found that even with LINK G4 ecu and boost control (i think its called vipec over there) we couldn't stop boost creaping up from 14-16psi from approx 5700rpm although we think the internal gate was the limiting factor with that turbo.

now hes running a GT2876R and a 38mm wastegate with no issues.

I'm hoping that early next year i can get my car tuned at my workshop on E85 once my fuel system is up to scratch. 324kw on 98 pump gas on 19psi on a stock rb25 on a dynapack dyno would be interesting to see what gains there is on my setup.

best part is i can have a simple switch that can switch my fuel, inginition, boost tables to suit the E85

worst part is theres no E85 on the pump in NZ. and its approx $2.5 per ltr here. 98s expencive enough at $1.82atm

sinthetic oils are what iv been told to run. 5w30 for street cars and 0w30 for race cars if its too thick the oil pressure is to high even when the car is up to operation tempature.. we have been using elf oil in the ones we have done..

im running a blitz dsbc spec s (the single solenoid one) and i'm guessing that's where the boost is going

not concerned at al tho... having 2psi less @ 7000rpm is pribably a good thing :D

would be nice to be able to flick a switch.... i think the only way i could do thoat with the pfc is to physically have 2 :(

good news guys!

as halle informed me, e85 is now available at the pump for 109c @ fueltown southland!

i have contacted the store and spoken to the manager, and the fuel is supplied by powerplus. the fuel is also a 91/ethanol blend like united's

http://www.powerplusfuel.com.au/

after speaking to geoff, he informed me that getting the fuel from csr was impossible as the big fuel companies have signed contracts for the next 6 months preventing anyone else purchasing e85, however they are not using it themselves... and the contracts are probably going to get renewed.

the fuel, is selling at a rate of only 300l per week, so c'mon guys, lets go help 'em out!

i'll be filling up and testing later this week, and will post results when done.

hmm not too far, might swap cats over to E85. Was going to mix up my own 98 and methanol but i may try the pump gear first. We made just shy of 430 on 98 so it should be a good laugh on e85 or a jungle juice.

Oi hamish when you get a min drop past and we will look at the fuel economy.

are you ready for the E85 on-slaught Trent?! :D all the east-siders will be wanting tunes now.

Guess who lives 5mins from Fueltown Southland :P:blink::)

I feel this must be represented in picture form, to illustrate the awesomeness of what has just occurred...

Point A = new E85 source

Point B = essentially where i live

Point C = old E85 source

route-1.jpg

It's karma i reckon :D

My E85 trips have been cut by a whopping 90%! It's almost exactly 1/10th of the distance to get E85 now!

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
