Wow at the thread revival.

Since this thread i really did change my plans

NOW RB25DET NEO

Mild head porting

Heavy duty valve springs

Factory cams (keeping VCT)

Factory valves and guides

Garage 7 steam pipe manifold

GTX3076 w/ .63 rear housing

Ill be happy with 320-350 kW @ the hubs which this will shit out on E85.

Now this is an awesome setup, so much fun!!!

Mine with poncams -

Ians without poncams -

Type A or B poncams?

Both still using VCT?

What are the differences between your setups.

Im retaining the factory plenum for the time being.

Type B poncams with HKS exhaust cam gear and Performance springs and retainers.... 260's with 9.15 lift i believe!

The ethanol content mine was on to run the 360kw was E70 as that is the current E-Flex percentage, my car is setup to run full flex....

They are the same because i copied his :P

GT3037-56T with 6Boost manifolds, .82 rear housings, Tial 44mm MV-R gates.

Ians runs a side pipe, mine runs a full exhaust.... His spools quicker than mine as i think my exhaust is restrictive.

They both run Plazmaman plenums etc...

If there is anything else, just ask as i am happy to help! Simon-S14 ran a similar setup too and made similar results so its a proven performer setup :D

yep

but there is def a difference when tuning on e70 vs e85

my brothers car made 420kw on with 65% ethanol in the tank

the tuner told us to take the car back... put it around and come back with 85% ethanol (once all the old unleaded is gone through the system) so he can wind up the boost... expecting to make 450-460 on full strength e85

Doesnt matter, it shows the NEO + 3076 combo done right is a win everytime :woot:

Umair - The car is tuned to the current fuel available, i could have tuned on drum E85 and made a tad more (although the turbo was the limiting factor i believe) but it was tuned on E-Flex which is 70%, there is compensation in for higher E content, but it made the power on the pump stuff!

Ahh so identical setups. Nice.

How come hes using factory cams?

Do you find hes got slightly better mid range with stock cams on his?

Yes .63 rear is more restrictive, but is much better for response.

Yeah pretty much the same thing, i have a few slight improvements etc but pretty close!

It was to be an unopened engine with bolt ons and it made impressive power so i guess he didnt see the need.

If we had identical exhausts we could overlay the graphs and get a comparison, but mine behaves differently and comes on later so i cant give you an accurate answer, the mid range on mine is awesome and when it comes on boost its pretty aggressive, and that is on low boost so far, am yet to get it on high boost with the E70

How much response do you need? I think ians is around 3700-3800 and mine is around 3900..... There is the twin scroll result from Owen in the RB25 thread that is pulling full boost way earlier so you could look at that too!

Yeah... nah, the power difference between E70 and E85 would be the best part of zero

Yeah... nah, the power difference between E70 and E85 would be the best part of zero

I think this was raised in the Guilt_Toy thread a while back and was mentioned that the difference was minimal.... Depends if we are comparing an E-Flex to a Sucrogen or something like that? Maybe its not the percentage but more the fuel itself? Either way, my result was on E70 and was awesome! I was over the moon and will be for a long time :D

yeh same issue with me... im not gonna both driving 40mins to get full strength e85 so mine will primarily run on the Caltex eflex as well

but I doing the fuel flex tune on full strengh e85 is best because that way you have complete range of different proportions on e85 strength in your tune

Yeah... nah, the power difference between E70 and E85 would be the best part of zero

its going to be boost which will make more power but we will only wind up on full strength because it will be safer to do so

420kw on a stock motor... and we've been flogging the crap out of it so far!

yep im comparing eflex (70% most of the time) to united (85%)

its interesting stuff

i've hooked up my laptop to the Haltech and watch the fuel composition go up and down.... was sitting at 68% last time i filled up with caltex eflex

The 3076 wont make much more power as the boost was already trailing off on my car indicating the turbo was out of puff..... So it may be relevant to a different turbo but not so much the ones being discussed! In saying that the GTX probably has a bit more than mine does, so who knows....

mate does your flex setup varying the boost depending on proportion of e85 in the tank?

No, below 60% i run low boost, above that i press high boost.... Only picked up the car Monday so i am yet to try high boost.... Am up to E54 or something....

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
