I feel ripped off reading this :closedeyes:

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

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

If they dont hold till top end, it will have a big fat meaty midrange :thumbsup: .

i hate to nit pick but 'Eflex' is Caltex's higher % ethanol blend, 70-85

'Flex-fuel' is the ability to run anything from 100% unleaded to 85% (or whatever your highest E%) ethanol. I know you knew what you were referring to, but just to save other people the confusion.

Fantastic to see more people getting in on it though!! More ethanol users the better!! Get on it people!! :D

Ethanol fuels are fantastic for turbos that are maxxed out on 98. On my rb25 with hks gtrs size turbo so ~245rwkw on 98 fuel maxxed out, then I changed to the caltex eflex fuel and made 280rwkw with even more response!

Ethanol fuels work very well on the smaller turbos that appear to be maxxed out on 98. Go for it!

for the people that have done flex fuel setups using decent boost levels

are your 98 or close to maps just done with a lot of timing pulled out or is the boost dependant on ethanol%? assuming any of the ecus support that kind of setup?

boost same, timing varies.

depends how you think of it... i think of it as timing at '0' (rather than negative) for the 98 map, which is then advanced depending on the ethanol %.

different parts of the map obviously vary in how much the timing is advanced but don't worry about the 98 map as i'm assuming that's already been sorted for most people as that's their fuel of choice.

really? i would have thought the boost would be lower if your e85 % is lower...

e.g. if i have 100% 98 then I'd expect to run 22psi or so... anything higher could possibly cause big problems....

will check with the Tuner tomorrow on this....

evc 6 i set at 21psi i think, 98 or E85, it's all the same :)

we believe the pistons are N1's, so not fully forged (not 100% on this, will have to try and confirm with Midori one day...) so i'm never going to run stratospheric boost and i didn't think running Eflex/E85 will help much in that department anyway.

if we were going with variable boost, then that would have to be controlled via the G4 i'm assuming... i don't know if this requires extra hardware/extra Link kit etc...

and even if we could, i don't know if i would run extra boost on Eflex/E85... why? i've got all the extra timing over 98, in the 400rwkw for pure E85, ~650nm of torque... don't see the point of stressing the engine anymore to be honest... it's not like it's underpowered :banana:

aaah

your situation is different to mine i guess... i got tiny -9s so I want to cram as much boost through them as I can to make the power lol

I just spoke to Chea and he confirmed that my boost will also vary depending on the ethanol percentage in the tank

Boost, Fuel & Timing will all change accordingly to ethanol %

mine is getting a Haltech boost solenoid so the boost will be controlled by the Haltech ECU too

oookkk bit of a hiccup

gave a hit in 2nd and went for 3rd and the gearbox went BANG!

no more 3rd gear :( box is goooonnneee

anyone in sydney have a GTR box for sale??

if i dont get one by the weekend I'm going to have to push the mods back

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
