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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
