Hi Guys,

I am going to modify my R32 GTR to run E85, my 1000cc injectors just turned up today!

And I have been trying to search around for fuel supply options for E85

I have currently got the following mods:

Rebuilt RB26 with forged internals

2860-5's

Nismo AFM's

full 3in exhaust

660cc injectors

Walbro fuel pump

Turbosmart E-Boost Street

std intercooler

K&N Filter in airbox

It made 350rwkw on a dyno dynamics @ 21.5psi

and made 317rwkw on a mainline dyno @ 20psi

Most people have told me that i'd need twin pump and surge tank setup to really make benefit of e85. but i want to try and steer clear from a surge tank in the boot because i've heard that there is fuel smell issues.

so an under car surge tank would be an option but there is very limited room underneath a R32, so where have people mounted surge tanks under the car if they have.

Also have anyone used any twin intank pump setups?

This would be the most attractive for me because it would be more simpler.

I have done track days and may do 2-3 a year, so its not a purpose track car. i dont drive it regularly hence fuel ecconomy and availability isnt much of an issue for me.

Even if i were to take it to the track again i would take my 3 20L jerry cans and make sure the fuel level doesnt drop below 1/2 a tank. so fuel surge isnt going to be a problem on track.

So if anybody has any results with a twin pump setup in tank please share it with me, it seems to be popular with the BMW guys, and on other forums like the WRX & EVO ones.

Cheers,

You wont get any fuel smells if you do it properly with teflon braided lines, but it is still illegal.

Twin intank walbro's would be the go but a single GTR Nismo/Tomei should just handle that power.

^^^ on e85? Doubtful.

Powertune do a bolt in kit for twin pumps in tank. Do a search it's been covered before or call them up

Yeah there is a similar kit around too @ half the price, one of my customers just came in with one.... forgot who did it though.. :domokun:

mmm I'm interested. if you can find out who sells them I might grab one for my new car. want to switch it to E85. currently running a nismo pump, already has 1000cc injecotrs, after a nice 380kw or so with the 2530s it has but don't think the nismo pump will do it.

Yeah, if you could find out who the kit was through it would be appreciated!!

I'm just wondering how difficult it would be to modify the cradle and put together a bracket for the twin pumps to sit in?

also at what limit have people found the std fuel lines to run out of flow? what power levels do you have to run twin lines?

Cheers,

I made my own twin walbro bracket. It surges at around 1/4 tank in my Stagea but that is due to the underseat tank mounting more than the pickup design.

A surge tank would be the best for track, even a small one may do the job.

Nismo intank pump, 400rwkw - no issues that we could tell from this. ID1000's

looked into all of this twin this, surge that, undercar etc... wasn't needed in the end.

pretty much same setup as well, built 26, 2530's.

It's funny how similar our setups are.... but I am using HEAPS more fuel than you. Different ways of tuning to achieve the same result?

I'm pretty happy with the twin pumps i have in tank.

i managed to get them mounted in the stock cradle. after a heap of fiddling with the wiring they're running good now.

it turned out to be a bad connection clip in the fuel tank lid. removed it and ran an earth wire straight to the pumps and its fine now.

still a little low on power.

353rwkw on 24psi but hopefully with either poncams or a bigger cat back exhaust i can stretch some more out of it.

the exhaust is a little restrictive after the front pipe, front pipe is twin 70mm going into at least a 90 or 100mm collector and necking down to 80mm exit. then the decat has a 76mm flange so there is a fair restriction there.

Sort that out! It's all over the place! Its amazing what a well thought out exhaust does for these things... I made more power on less boost on SMALLER turbo's with an exhaust that works!

i was thinking the same thing earlier,

a decent turbo back exhaust will do wonders.. 3" is small for those huffers.

i suppose when you start shoving 24psi of boost through -5's there is a fair amount of air flow!

those restrictions are probably causing the graph to table top.

the exhaust does sound quite full of air when at WOT.

at least now we know that 3in will flow 350rwkw but at slightly higher boost.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
