Stock Rb26 + -9S + E85

[usmair]

ok boys and girls

car has been booked in with the tuner and should be ready within a fortnight.

Current mods:

- PFC

- -9s with 18psi

- 3.25" front pipes

- 3" cat

- 3/3.5" catback

- Stock injectors and AFMs

made 270rwkw @ 15psi with a shitty compliance cat and exhaust on it... is prob making around 280rwkw at the moment

new mods (the major ones) will be as follows:

- Haltech ECU

- Haltech boost controller plugin

- Twin Intank bosch pumps

- 1000cc Injectors

- Aftermarket fuel rail

- de cat

- 3.5" catback

- EFLEX Tune (allows to run a mixture of both 98 and e85)

Plan is to chuck it on United e85 and wind the boost up to around 28-30psi and see what she makes

hoping for around 380kw

Stay tuned!

Very interested

Will the -9s still be ok at that boost level??

[N1GTR]

Which front pipes? I'm assuming your measurement is from the end of the merge

[SiR_RB]

28-30psi standard engine/head gasket etc?

[DVS JEZ]

Hell yeah. Life starts at 2 bar

[Brezza]

i think it will go bang!

no offence, but i doubt that you'll be able to push the -9's past 350rwkw (you'll probably have boost control issues especially above 24psi)

especially on a stock motor, i think you'll find that it'll probably spin a bearing

[usmair]

I sure hope so.. that amount of boost should be OK with e85

The front pipes are custom.. got a shop to fabricate em.. I think they are 3.25" from merge to tip... Can't remember to be honest.. ill put up a pic later

watching with interest, I'm assuming u using UniGroup

I’ll have to see how this goes, I am going to be doing almost the same, I got the fuel composition sensor with the haltech to run flex fuel. Who are you going to get to tune it?

[usmair]

PowerTune is doing it.. went with them as Chea knows his way around Haltechs and has done the flex tune with them previously

front pipes

Sweet, I will see how you go I might get them to do mine.

front pipes

Cool, do you know the size at the turbo end? Most seem to be 2.5 or 2.75"

Interesting to note Unigroup to like Link's whereas Powertune seem to like Haltech's. Each to their own I guess

[usmair]

28-30psi standard engine/head gasket etc?

PT did another stock RB26 with -5s which made 410kw and is holding strong so far...

we'll see... if it pops its just an excuse to rebuild

i think it will go bang!

lets see what happens...

gotta push the boundaries every so often

I'd say it would be 2.75"

not too sure to be honest

[SiR_RB]

those front pipes look chunky

are you gonna run the stock intercooler for that boost/power level?

yep if you boys want some let me know... they pretty good value too... think they set me back $300

running the stock cooler... was going to upgrade but have been told by numerous ppl (including the tuner) that it will be fine

[Piggaz]

Very keen to see this result!

Standard cams?

The whole flex fuel thing is awsome. Just drive around and not worry about a thing. Does the Haltech setup come with a Ethanol % display?

yep standard cams... wanted more mid range than anything else really

the Haltech doesnt have a e85 guage as such but you can monitor the % if you hook it up to a laptop

cant wait

[R31Nismoid]

I feel ripped off reading this

I thought this was the end result thread lol... Guess we wait 2 more weeks

I'm with a few others, not so sure the -9s will hold 28-30psi. They generally always fall over so very keen to see end result
