I was talking to a bloke about this today and was thinking about getting the drifter re tuned for e85 but not sure if its worth it. currently only making 240rwhp on the rb20 with vg30 turbo on 15psi, all the usual bolt on mods but internally stock, stock afm and injectors, i am how ever running an intank 040 and an 044 with a surge. what kind of gains can i expect power wise changing from bp98 to e85 with the car exactly how it currently is?

Im at a cross roads now :ermm: ive been told that i will need 1000cc injectors for 270rwkw on E85! couple of lads in here claim to be running 550cc injectors and both are making over 300rwkw on E85

if i went for 1000cc injectors would i have to change my fuel rail too? I was told you use approximately 30% more E85 than 98.......:O

30% is pretty right. The tuning style also has a lot to do with what size injectors will be required. Running it lean with less timing will obviously mean you can get away with smaller injectors. Tuning rich with more timing obviously means larger injectors will be required.

They must be running them pretty lean to make 300rwkw on 550's

I was told today that my 550's will be ok for 270rwkw on E85 but they will be pretty clos to being at their limit by a nice gentleman from JEM so im gunna take his advice and bolt em in when my turbo comes :cheers:

damn some people must be tuning lean.... each to their own and everyone has a different philosophy though

Although i realise its a fair whack more power, my 1600's are at 90% at 460odd. That wil change soon though as the ID 1600's have been recalled so its up to 2000cc's :D

I am fairly sure the 2000's will have similar issues, especially on ethanol, as they are both natural gas injectors from what I'm told. The o-ring isn't rated for petrol (long term) and won't be warranted, especially with e85. If this is true the 1000's may be the only Bosch option.

I also have reservations on the spray pattern with the 2000's as the jellybean plate after the nozzle is designed to desperse the natural gas, not sure how it will work at high liquid fuel flow. Has anyone seen a video of the spray patterns on these injectors?

I'm doing a upgrade on my car I'm getting 2000 cc injectors .....haltec pro series ecu ..........and I have a.t88 on my gtr but I'm going a bit bigger I was thinking t 51r turbo my car.makes 700 HP at all wheels I want more power :-(

My car is not tuned lean with 555 to make 300 kw , its a very safe tune. But yeah in the end comes down to how the specific tuner tunes if he dorsnt believe he can get away with 555 then gota do whats hes confortable with.

What kinda turbo and boost are you running mate?

Ive gotta HKS 2835 kai coming and im hoping to push bout 16-18psi down my cars neck.

A guy off here who has the same turbo is only hitting 67% duty cycle on his 550's with 18psi boost

Im running a hypergear tr43i (the really really old model) I guess comparing it to power terms of a garett would be closet to a 3071. Im running 17.5 psi.

    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
