Same idea as gas. For me the car is a daily and I did the experiment with my van ( 75/25 mix) and got morerange out if it.

Ok so the soft lines need to change?

I played around with non pump ethanol blends when I had the PFC in my 33 25T and while its interesting its a PITA after a while . I just stick to Eflex from the one servo nowdays and although Insight fitted and tuned my "V66" plug in I've been doing all the pre boost tuning . When you've had the alky a while you can't stand the smell of raw ULP or its exhaust fumes , using it pushes you to fiddle with the ecu settings trying to get the best drivability torque and consumption figures .

Something I reckon plays a big part in drivability and consumption is the injectors you use and most people use bigger ones obviously . I am keen to try some sort of current tech Bosch EV14 like IDs because I sometimes come up against minor drivability issues and I wonder how much of this is caused by using dated injector technology . Spray patterns and droflet size must become more critical the shorter the injector pulse width gets and thats were a lot of part throttle urban driving obviously is . The injector transients must be a fair bit faster with modern injectors and that would make tuning easier I suspect . I think the bottom line is if you want production car like drivability and a shot at good consumption you have to use good injectors from the outset . If perfect round town drivability and good consumption is not important then anything big enough that you can get to "idle" acceptably may be ok .

Production cars are pretty well behaved generally and they show up your ride if its a bit how ya goin' .

Having a wide band controller wired into your ECU is a great idea and I wouldn't be without the Tech Edge now .

Later I may play with flex fuel but ATM Eflex is good for me .

A .

My understanding of ECU tuning is limited. I can wire the thing up without issue.

Injector sizing again I am relying on other people for this. Was told GTR would be the right size and right impedance for what I have.

The Link unit seems to pop up in a lot of threads hence the reason I was looking at it.

What ever I buy is getting pulled apart and tossed into the stock ECU casing for ease of use and making the thing a lot harder to pick out if the car gets inspected.

Since I have time tomorrow I am going to talk to one of the people that sell link locally about the flex fuel option, time taken to set up and the data output idea I have.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
