Lads i need some advice, did a bit of searching and didnt come up with much.

R32 Gtr running t04z with all supporting mods

fuel system is 850cc tomei injectors,sard reg,hks twin feed rail, big sx fuel pump with surge tank and gtr standard pump as feed

Now its currently running at 19psi on pump fuel, and i want to get a race fuel tune for an event that is coming up.. i was planning on running e85, and after doing some research have come to the conclusion i will need larger injectors(some say as big as 1600cc!)

so do i go bigger injectors and run e85, if so what injectors should i look at? plan is to push the t04z up to around 26psi.

or do i use something like ERC, VP racing, ELF.. and if so which brand/model do you reccomend..

i wont be doing many events a year with this car, so i dont mind spending a bit on racefuel for a one off each year. also what hp should i expect with 26psi and your choice of fuel?

thanks in advance!

do what i did and do a fuel blend. I went with 50/50 E85/PULP and it works out to be 42.5% ethanol content. very easy to mix since the ratio is simple.

power gains on my car went from 320 rwkw at 20 psi to 360 rwkw at 16 psi plus a load more timing and reponce. i didnt want to upgrade my injectors so this was the best result for me without having to change a single thing! Pretty stoked with it over all!

personally i would go this over some expensive race fuel.

cheers simon, this sounds like a good alternative. how come you didnt wind it back out to 20psi? injectors maxxing?

nytsky 1000cc was going to by initial choice but after speaking to the fella who will be tuning this, he has advised to go with 1400+

Quick rundown on my setup, any holes that need to be filled lads?

standard gtr lift pump

2.5l surge tank

sx fuel pump ( Supports carbureted engines up to 1300 HP and fuel injected engines up to 1000 HP at 45 PSIUltra high-flow rates exceed: 80 GPH at 12 volts and 45 PSI, AND 120 GPH at 12 volts and 10 PSI)

sx filter

-8 teflon from pump to y piece at engine bay.. splitting into two -6 either side of rail

-6 teflon return to sard reg

-6 teflon reg back to surge

injectors are 850cc tomei's.. too small..

what brand injectors? been looking at id2000 and bluemax seem to do some good sizes too.

what would you expect a rb26 t04z at 25-26psi stage 2 hks 272 cams running e85 will make?

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
