let me get my crystal ball out to find out the setup mods... or...

you could tell just us.

Can't expect us to answer if you don't tell us the constraints/parts etc.

for all we know you have stock turbos

more boost??

Yeah thats the plan. But to run more boost I have to build a fuel system, and if 800's are going to be big enough for e85 fuel then I would build the setup with e85 in mind. If they aren't big enough i wont worry about it. I was just hoping i would make more hp on E85 at 18-20psi than i would on 98ron on the same psi.

I disagree, i had 1000's maxed at 403rwkw so i dont think 800's will cut it

Mind you thats 400cc bigger engine

Try it and see

mmm… Well just doing some rough numbers - and I repeat, rough :(

700cc = 700hp/521kw (take off 70kw, drivetrain loss, yes I know that’s again, rough guess)

~440rwkw @ max/380rwkw @ 85% (PULP)

Then 800cc … ~530rwkw max/450rwkw @ 85% (PULP)

Friend of mine had ~300awkw E85 in an EVO with 1000’s and they were not nearly maxed – remembering AWKW so easily over 500hp @ the motor.

So ye it would be line ball. I’m surprised you had 1000’s maxed @ 400rwkw.

50/50 mix would be a ok though either way you'd assume.

I'm planning on getting Sard 800's myself, -5s and then going E85 if needed and rough numbers did suggest the 800's with a bit of a rail pressure increase would get me there.

If i max then so be it lol, I'll just go a 50/50 ;)

Just for shits I just did the 1000's

1000/745kw ~675rwkw @ 100% (PULP)

People are quoting what, 25% extra for E85?

1000’s based on 25%... (675-170=505)

So 500rwkw max, 450rwkw @ 90%, 425rwkw @ 85% (roughly)

30%

470 max, 420 90%, 400 85%

Just theory of course. And not taking into account any rail pressure bumping and so on.

Real world would indeed prove otherwise :(

Dont worry, there were a lot of people surprised at that fact on the day (happened at SAUNSW dyno day)! Remember torque eats DC so im sure that played a part

Nonetheless that didnt work so 2000's went in and its all good now.

Using numbers from when we did the switch, it needed between 35/40% (cant remember the exact) more DC.

So 800's at 85% is 680cc, safe bet of 30% extra needed for the e85, that leaves 476cc - before drivetrain loss.

I wouldnt worry about an Evo result, its all guess work but we can at least use the same maker/cylinder count to try and get an outcome. Here's a spanner in the works; VR38's using 990/1000's are pulling big numbers and are seemingly ok for DC

EDIT: On E85 the temptation to screw silly amounts of boost and timing in is pretty hard to resist. Mine wouldnt knock, so before the end of the month its back on the rollers ;) Its a good thing you've got Chris down there to stop you getting too overboard with it :D

thanks for that man thats what i was after.

I spose i just build the fuel setup so i can use both.

Now all i gota do is find out if an intank 044 feeding a surge tank then twin 044s will work with e85

A simple search will tell you that fuel setup answer.

You need to know how many ms your injectors are open for at their highest. Then you can work out how much fuel you are using......exactly to 0.1 of a L and then you will be able to determine if you double it, you'll have enough. General rule.....if your injectors are more than 50% duty now, then no they won't cut it

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
