mines snow performance. its got a MAP sensor in the control box under the bonnet, when it hits XX psi it starts injecting and by XX its on full so it ramps up the pump based on boost so you arent injecting silly amounts all the time.

water meth injection, its not expensive and gives similar/same results as using E85.

And E85 is cheaper then regular ULP when you buy it at the pump... Runs cooler... You only have to worry about keeping one tank topped up... No extra weight...

Remember, WMI also increases your compression again... So if you go super high CR, you're at risk of bending shit.

i am not saying E85 is a bad fuel but in Canberra you cant get it at the petrol station and you cant get it in Goulburn, there is not enough demand for it to be put in considering the relatively small spread out population when you look at Melbourne with 2 stations covering the whole place.

E85 does have negatives too, it uses 30% more for the same power figure (which brings it inline with 98 prices), requires a much larger fuel system to support it, it cant be left for too long as it absorbs water (granted petrol also goes off if left too long), have to keep an eye on your oil as it can contaminate it if the engine isn't running long enough to get the oil up to temp.

WMI with a sufficiently sized tank (like my 9.5L tank) can go for months without checking (street driving though 9.5L is still a lot for track driving) even the smaller tanks last a fairly long time unless you have your foot in it everywhere you drive. WMI also cools the intake charge like E85 does and when setup correctly you can even go so far as to run 91ron petrol and still make good power. (in some cases remove the intercooler completely as well)

there is a new project for you when you are done with the supra steve, 4wd twin turbo V8 skyline.

Haha that would be pretty special! Someone has done that in an r33 gtr in Europe, I think. It was Denmark?

Next for me is the Ultima, v8, 7.3L, 990kg

Nah nothing as exotic, Eagle stroker in an LS Chevrolet block

Now you mention the Zonda motor I'll look up specs just for a laugh

It will have the lightest rotating assembly as possible though

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
