What was the state of your injector O rings after this?

How well does your petrol tank seal? When you go to a petrol station to fill up does it go PSSHHH?

How long have you been E85 and how often was it driven (eg, was fuel sitting in the tank for a month at a time between drives?)

Orings were fine.

Can't remember if i head the pshhhh or not... I'm not sure if i even hear it on the new Evo..

Been on e85 a year and half. Didn't drive it that often, only weekends. And even sometimes could go weeks without a drive

Switched to it about 3 times I reckon

I have taken the precaution of pickling the fuel system in 98 when I've gone long periods of not driving, but it is a daily driver so that's rare.

I think having old tanks of E85 is no good...if it hasn't been driven for ages I would empty it and refill.

Long enough for the e85 to turn?

Plenty of reports on the evo x forums of the issue coming up after a few weeks.

Mine was just a minor issue of it sliglty blocked one injector after a year. But even then I could have lost whole my engine if I kept on driving it without noticing something was happening. My first sign was one of my spark plugs melting and subsequent ones fouling pretty quick

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
