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.

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
