Been on the search all day looking into which pump/injectors/fpr (if any?!) would be best for my setup & budget, I've gotten some info, but still need more.

After 300awkw & e85 out of my rb25 (in r32 gts4)

Injectors- looking at ID1000's / a big injector suitable for e85?

Pump- walbro intank 400lph

Fpr- still stuck regarding sizes/turbosmart/SARD?

I know I'm after rising rate, but are there many benefits vs brands? & what's the difference between turbosmart frp800 & the fpr3000?

Are all fpr's suitable for ethanol?

Cheers

Check that things are E85 compatible...

My setup -

1000cc XSPURTS

HKS FUEL RAIL

BOSCH 044 intank

SARD REG - However this may change as its not E85 approved... So although it MAY be fine, its not approved like the others on the market are...

There are so many cars running that sort of power on E85 on here and a lot using diggerent combos.

If your on a budget there are plenty of options :)

Thanks for your reply,

Xspurts- I've never heard of them, any good? Good spray pattern etc? 100% E85 safe?

I almost bought 1000cc rc injectors, only to find out they have to be 'flushed every few tanks with normal fuel'... So no dice.

I didn't know 044's could be intank mounted? I still think I'll go walbro 400lph because it comes with a mounting kit for an r32 + only $170 inc shipping.

As for fuel rail I'm going to go eBay spec one that comes with my proboost ffp. Hope it's e85 safe.... Ha :/

Xspurts are sold by Injectors online, they are Bosch ev14's.

I have been running these for over a year now on e85 without a problem. Contact them about an SX reg too.

Those injectors look alright, but I'm on the hunt for some 1000cc's @ $100 each or less. Found ID1000's come close @ about $109 each...

As for the fuel pump yeah I'll make sure it's e85 safe. What do I need to do with my fuel lines? E85 will eat my stock lines right? Do I need to go bigger diameter too?

So why do so many people have after market fpr's? Will it be easier for tuning with a fpr?

Where are you finding the ID1000's for $109? I'm after a set atm.

I think the guys running side feed from factory need an a/maker fpr if they are changing to top feed as you then obviously need to change to top feed fuel rail so the factory fpr won't fit. Plus you can then bump up the base pressure a tad to get that bit more from the injectors.

I hope you're not going to not buy the ID's because they're $56 more than your budget.

E85 won't 'dissolve' your standard fuel lines. They're fine.

If your injectors are big enough (which they will be), leave the OEM FPR.

Its only OLD fuel line that has this issue yeah? I re-run all the lines in new EFI hose so i hope it will be all good!!

And i spent more than the link above for the XSPURTS as i figured they are a crucial part to the build so why skimp on them :D

Are you talking about the rubber or steel lines?

If you're talking the steel hard lines then they are fine. Mine have not dissolved or 'turned into a pile of ash on the floor' like some people believe this stuff will do!

Nah, i meant the rubber hose!

Xspurts = ID's = Bosch ev14's.

Start life as a Bosch and then get modified slightly?

My mistake, $119, not $109. So $720 a set.

I meant are there any other 1000's people are running e85 on that are decent & under $600 for a set. Just curious.

I've seen rc1000's for $550 but their not e85 safe

I remember reading about cheap injectors here -

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/297224-installing-seimens-deka-injectors-onto-a-neo-rb25-r34/

Dunno if there is a set to suit your application or not but there were pretty cheap compared to what i ended up with.... Couldnt be bothered reading or searching for you but try and see if it points you in the right direction?

I'd go a deatschwerks fuel pump over a walbro... any day.

Don't use efi hose for e85- you need something teflon lined/rated for alcohol.

For the extra money, I still choose ID injectors over the standard bosch items.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
