interested to hear how you get on with this Hanaldo...

Id also be interested where you get your parts from and your calculations of length of hose and fitting types?

I could never estimate the fitting angles that were needed for a clean tidy install... so I went and did other things, like collect CF...

Ive still got the rails, reg and large injectors waiting for my e85 upgrade sitting waiting for time and the braided lines...

I'll let you know where I get everything from in the end, but I'm probably just going to do some rough measurements with the HKS rail dummy fitted and then purchase a little more hose than I think I'll need, just in case. Going to just buy the hose and fittings and put it together myself, means I can just cut to length when I need to.

Fitting types should be easy enough. 90 degree fitting into the fuel rail, 180 degree fitting on the return side, going to run the return line parallel to the fuel rail and then back to the reg. Still need to figure out sizes for fittings into the regulator, but they should all just be straight hose ends I think.

someone tried to recomend i upgrade to 3/8 hose to go with my -6 fittings..

but although the fitting is bigger the inlet hole is still the same size as 5/16 hose..

Kind of made me wonder whats the point of going larger hose then so I didnt get it..still 5/16(7.5mm) off the shelf fuel hose everywhere..

So what filter you recomending Scott?? probably should upgrade mine as well..are the basic ryco filters even E85 compatible

Im using two of the proflow dash 8 sized small ones, one for each rail.

I paid $100 plus whatever barbed/dash fittings you want for the ends. The element is washable plus replacements are available. Make sure you get ethanol tolerant bunna style orings to seal the dash fitting.

Injectors online again mate. :)

Actually not sure why I was even considering one with threaded ends, would require more fittings that I don't really need.

What about the Earls inline barb end type, like this:

It's the only barb end filter they offer but it's only 35 micron sintered bronze element, is that ok? Flows 4-5 GPM. Would prefer one of their new billet inline filters, but they only come in threaded ends and I imagine are quite expensive themselves.

why exactly would the ethanol destroy a normal filter anyway? its not as though fuel isnt corrosive to begin with..... just a rumor to spend more money?:blink:

unfortunately too many shops treat e85 like methanol...

braided everything, 12 surge tanks 8 pumps, billet rails, 24 injectors etc....

all it does is overheat the fuel anyways.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
