i find your attitude towards ethanol surprising roy... for someone that loves to tinker as much as you do and tries to run his motor on the ragged edge, i would have thought that if there was an obviously better fuel choice, you would have been all over it

i didn't find it was too bad with the GT-T - on the cruise, so freeway driving etc, my consumption only varied by about 10% to 98, and about 25% for urban duties. If you do lots of freeway km's, it's quite a cheap (and powerful) fuel.

it is like how he is obsessed with rb20s for some reason, makes no sense.

LOL, i have the injectors that will give my fuel system enough head room. My problem is the amount of kms my car does as a street car makes it pretty hard to go E85. So the only real option is flexi fuel and cant justify the spend on electronics. So when I start doing more street kms in the Sierra the R32 may find its way on to E85 as it wont be doing so many work kms to Geelong, Yarrawonga etc etc

So until then I will just sit back and hang shit on people who are fortunate enough or dedicated enough to be running corn feed :thumbsup:

LOL, its all a bit of fun but its hard to justify replacing a $600 engine that has done 60,000kms and still makes ~260rwkws. If I can get an eflex setup going it would be able to catch up a little in the power game as anything under 300 these days is cannon fodder. But seems the eflex arrangement is about 3k. :( I am close to having an eflex setup for free which if it works will be ACE :)

What's the price comparison between 98ULP and E85? have never seen it for sale up here in brisvegas

i pay about 100-110c a litre here in SA. haven't noticed a huge increase in consumption on the track, even with a bigger turbo and 50% more power.

That's pretty good considering I just filled up on BP98 @ $1.61/L

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
