That was on E85. Neo engine's pretty good, didn't have issues taking boost, and I didn't experience valve floating issues either. The external gate is welded to factory exhaust manifold, search the index page on my thread, there are few pages explaining how.

Yep We're jealous of full boost at 6000rpm with a gtx35

Back again, 372kW @ 1.75bar (1.8bar spiked a little)... motor has not popped and even went to a track day on the 30th of May. Motor did push some coolant, I believe the OEM head gasket isn't too happy

Might as well give it 30+ You're building a 3.0 anyway

I run 98ron as the car can sit for months at a time. I dnt mind e85 but will wait until the new engine is run in.

You have the fuels all backwards, it's the 98 I wouldn't leave for months as it goes stale and detonates. Ethanol has no problem with sitting for a few months in a sealed container or tank.

E85 draws in moisture from the air. Thats what stuffs everything.

Hence why I said sealed container. How much water do you think it will suck in through a wall of steel or plastic?

I have had none of the issues you have described, actually I have had no issues at all in 5+ years running e85.

I had some ethanol stored in a plastic container for about 6months , opened several times to mix with some 98 and I found that it had turnt cloudy, I'm guessing it must of absorbed moisture from the air or maybe there was moisture in the 98 it was mixed with?

Go back to p1

People said that about this club

And their predictions are becoming truer and truer with each 100kw.

Reminds me of a saying - There's old motorcyclists and there's bold motorcyclists, but there are no old bold motorcyclists!!!

  • nylon 66 fibre & plastics, PCTFE, PTFE, polypropylene, and furane resin
  • hard rubber, neophrene, nitrile rubber, chlorosulphinated polyethylene, and silicone rubbers
  • concrete, glass, graphite, porcelain and stoneware, and vitreous enamel

are corrosion resistant to alcohols, beer & water up to 100C.

  • lead, mild steel (BSS 15), cast iron, and tin

Ive had e85 in those plastic jerrys for 6months and had no issues used it in the car after that, have also left e85 in metal jerrys outside in the rain in winter for few months again used the fuel and no problems.

Ethanol is highly hygroscopic, yet all that means is it will absorb water out of the air until it's so saturated you get phase separation. However, if air can't get to it then it can't get water out of the air. Depending on tank breathers and such will determine if fresh air can get into a fuel tank Easyer enough to cause an issue. On most cars not so much. In sealed containers not at all.Also some company's have additives in fuels to help with it. Basically unless you fuel system has leaks ( that's a big problem) then you shouldn't really have issues except for really long term. I've had some issues with a tank that was about 1/4 full and sat for 6 months yet the fuel cap also wasn't on properly.

Oil contamination can be an issue though. Expecially with how open to air some motor can cases are. Yet if you use the right oil for it. Or change it out more often again not an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
