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

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
