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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
