I thought i would post up my 98 V E85 tune. I didn't realise i was making such little power in the first place....229rwkw from a GT3040 (0.63) then with E85 252rwkw.

Sorry about the quality and no idea why it is sideways

Feel free to express your thoughts. I think something is wrong as my 550cc injectors hit 94% on cold nights. Still fun to drive though :D

Yeah i was expecting the increased duty cycle but not above 90% Does anyone think it's running too rich?

Besides bad cold start (not a daily driver) it drives really well and is more responsive than before. Now having traction issues but i don't have the best tyres. First and second gear feel very similar but the torque in third and forth feels insane. Pulls hard all the way off the clock.

Alittle offtopic, but roughly how much power can 700cc injectors running E85 support?

Good question as ive got 720cc injectors, would e85 also clean the injectors and valves due to the alcohol content?

where in the Gold Coast area can you buy e85, how much is it?

Yes, the whole engine and fuel system will probably be spotless, my exhaust was pretty clean too. :D Make sure you change the fuel filter soon after as it may get clogged.

Most places seem to sell it for around $1L, not sure what Caltex plans to sting us yet.

another hijack...

i'm pretty sure my 700cc injectors run at 85% with 320kw at the wheels..does that sound right? are there more people that have tested e85 with 700cc injectors? hopefully i can get away with the injectors i've got.

will i get away with the 280l/ph (from memory) upgraded in-tank pump if i run e85? i'm guessing i'll be headed to around 350kw at the wheels.

No one's mentioned the .63 rear on the turbo?

Could that be the reason it's peaking at 5300rpm and not getting the results wanted?

as for injectors funning out on that power, that's got me worried, as I'm soon to be on e85 running 550's :)

IMO the power has pretty much come from the additional boost, not the fuel at all, as Jez has already noted.

Something is not right with that setup, you should be making 250rwkw on PULP at least & around 280-300 on E85 (if not more).

Injectors under that much duty also is worrying.

Two things are pointing to setup issues.

Where does a GT3040 fit in size wise compared to a GT3071, GT3076 or GT3082? Is it smaller as the name suggests?

I remember reading a performance place (think it was ERD) recommending a 0.63 housing on a GT3082 on an RB25. But if a GT3040 is smaller than a GT3071 then a 0.63 housing is definitely too small.

I dont understand how joey gets so much power out of his injectors. I would expect 550s to peak out around 260-290rwkw on E85.

Yes I believe something is wrong but not really sure where to start. As I said earlier all I have really changed is the rear muffler (removed cannon and put an xforce twin pipe thing). With my current setup I probably couldn't get any more power to the ground but would like to figure out what's wrong.

GT3040 is the old description (larger comp wheel), or what everyone else calls a GT3082 these days.

So its the larger of the GT30XX family compared to a 3071

Well if thats the case, 0.63 housing should still make a lot more than what he is.

I mean hiflowed standard turbos make more than that.

Interesting the power falls over at about 5,500rpm. Also the dyno only goes up to ~6,200rpm?? Something seems wrong, unless the rpm on the dynosheet is not correct.

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
