hey just interested to know,

when using 98 people say that 300kw's is the safe upper limit for a stock RB25DET, does using E85 mean that this upper limit is more?

I know that people are getting alot more, like 360kw on stock bottem end, but does that mean over the 300kw with ethanol is safe or just that its happening.. and not necessarily safe. is it to do with the temp/detonation or the stress on the parts?

just wondering cause i want to use E85 and not sure how much boost/power is a safe limit, dont need any rebuilds or gambles with the safe limits..

e85 is alot nicer on engines and a good tune will make the engines "safe" number higher, so a safe 300kw from a rb25 e85 will take this to 340kw as power is made off timing not boost ie 15psi 300kw 98 / 15psi 340kw e85

this fuel is win/win

Its just a shame that it isn't more readily available ALL over Adelaide.

I hope with the increasing amount of flex fuel cars coming to the market that this will promote more servos to stock E85.

Shall be tuning the new found love of the 3 diamond variety on e85 in the next week or so.

Atm it stands at: Standard evo 7, hks dump + apexi exhaust with high flow cat, running very lean and kicking back to safety map 18psi produced 184kw at all 4 up to 5,800rpm limit (didnt want to go higher due to leaning out but it would have been around 200-210 on usual 22psi by the looks of things)

Bought: 1050cc injectors, aeromotive 340lph pump

e85 Results: in a weeks time :) prediction 240 - 250 at all 4, not bad for a standard car eh ;)

Thats the great thing about evos, running dual maps on the standard ecu

My mate just bought a evo6 with only an exhaust and fuel pump, got steve knight to play around with it and made 250awkw on pulp. Steve did tune it on 30psi though haha, seems pretty high to me but i know nothing about evos.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
