Do you ever pass 98RON through the tank? it's good to run 98RON every 10 tanks of E85 or so.

No-one told me this, and now I have gone and ruined my car... 5 years straight now. :/

and how do you go about doing that on an e85 tune?!!?!

I'm basing this on the assumption he has 2x tunes (which he might not).

Says who?

Five O Motorsports themselves and various other US based forums.

LOL... man you guys are digressing! I was saying to pass 98RON through the car every so often to keep the injectors happy.

Remember that these crappy highflow injectors are modified old tech sidefeeds that were designed in an era where high alcohol content fuels were nothing but a dream.

lol.... yes I am aware of that, but for some we just don't pour all our money into our cars and do what we can

But what has it cost you? In wasted time and hassle?

yeah and loads of swearing - if I "had" a NEO motor I would have just drop in modern top feeds and would have called it a day.

Dude I've got the same injectors as you haha

I heard good things from 2 people and thought they'd be sweet..... nahh

Yeah I wish I had one too. I swapped out a dead R33 motor for another 33 25 that I have now.

Didn't realise the huge benefits of running the R34 motor at the time, should have done that instead

higher lift stock cams, drop in top feeds, beefier factory bottom end.. drool

Drops a 34 Neo in because changing the fuel rail is just all too hard. :P

Yeah just read up on that if running e85 constantly injector tips tend to gum up and even gm commodore flex cars in the states got told to run a tank of pump 98 clears up the gum

I'm on single nistune map so e85 constantly but am going to just run a e85 fuels system cleaner now on with every oil change

If you change fuel filters often enough shouldn't have any problems, 3 years so far for me full time e85 and everything is clean fuel filters, injectors.

I agree, mine has never been apart since I shoved the 1000's in there 5 years ago. I would imagine the tips may have some black gunk around them, but it hasn't blocked the internal injector filter, and the 40 micron stainless filters obviously let it through without gumming up. I do run teflon fuel lines though, and I am a little worried the black gunk is from the stock rubber lines.

There are two choices, change your paper filter more often, or change to a slightly more coarse stainless 30-40 micron and hopefully forget about it.

Another thing, don't use the little filter in the top that fits into the adapters, unless you want to replace them regularly. They clog up with that black gunk quickly as the surface area is minimal. I have seen it a few times now.

Thanks for the tip. That is pretty crazy, I thought E85 should be cleaning the injectors since it made every thing else internally pretty clean. my daily driver KIA is on E85 all times and done 23,000KMs with it so far. I will pull it out for a check up this weekend.

Yeah worth the check but even injector cleaner isn't the best solution

Running a tank of normal unleaded dissolves this gunk and mainly affects city driven cars stop and go

But if you mainly do highway kms not as bad

Might just add 10-15l pump 98 to a tank of e85 at each oil change might run very rich but dissolve this goo

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
