lol, i started using e85 about 3 years ago now on a half assed touch up tune that took 6 runs (later was retuned by someone better) never even changed my fuel filter and drove it daily on e85 for ages... never had even 1 problem. not 1

it does indeed seem that the only people that have had troubles with e85 are those that have never used it... lol

Been thinking about dropping in some new valve springs while the turbo issue is being sorted., performance springs sell two kits one is rated for 9mm lift the other 10mm... Which kit should I be looking at to run in my setup with stock cams??

Interesting, a friend had HKS cams in his RB25 that deleted the VCT and its always dangerous to judge and form an opinion on the basis of one car but perhaps there was maybe a difference in throttle response and maybe 100-200rpm, hard to tell with the change in cams...but not 500-1000rpm. I would expect the 500cc, 0.5 bump in compression and VCT would at least give you at least a 500rpm improvement

not at all, we did brents car way back i thik when we sold cammtech cams (great cams too btw) and i spent hours getting the cam timing to the point it lost very little.... BUT i can tell you now if i do one run with it on and one run off on the dyno the differrence can be huge. (more power and torque).. just ask tao, we have is car in every fortnight and one night were chasing a 500rpm lag issue between tunes and it turned out the vtc plug had vibrated off.

Every tune we do that has vtc get a run with it off and run with on constantly (but not a full pull to redline when on constantly) the intersection point is easily discernable.... in power and torque terms that is.

So seems like Eiji isn't interested in replacing this china junk turbo. He ain't responding to my messages...

Last thing he said was that he'd be happy to sell me a new turbine wheel and if i send it to them they would fit/ balance it for free. Then I got angry and now he won't reply lol

I'm in the same bad customer boat. A wrong oil line was supplied with my kit so emailed and asked how we can go about getting me the correct line, no response! Service was great until I payed but now seems to lack quite a lot.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
