That is huge, interesting. I did a conversion a few weeks back, only got a 12 odd kw increase from 348 to 360 at 19 psi. This is with all supporting mods, big exhaust, -5's, fuel system etc. Pulls like a train it's awesome and im happy but looking at some of these results it's not a big increase.

For those on straight e85 tunes how do you go about sourcing fuel? Do you buy it in drums or fill up jerries?

Only place I know that sells it is in Rozelle which isn't a close drive.

EDIT: Also misread that dyno chart, 370kw is crazy!

Minto united for you then freind

Minto is straight E85 not eflex?

Also, back to my earlier question about the pods. Would $200 be spent better on buying a stock airbox or a pod enclosure?

EDIT: How much e85 would you expect to go through at a track day?

Here is the latest -7 and e85 result. Std rb26 with camgears and r32 gtr airbox.. Saw no gains over 22psi..... but a decent gain from 312rwkw on pump 98.

That looks very similar to a -5 result. Interesting!

what setup and ecu?

Best E85 servo for you would probably be newbridge rd :)

Pretty sure Newbridge Rd is just an eflex. Minto isn't too far though and it's pretty much on the way to Wakefield and Eastern Creek.

I won't get an eflex tune unless I absolutely needed one. $2k is bloody expensive!

This is the 2nd -7 + e85 50kw gain i've seen in the last 3 months, just shows that e85 is really needed in some cases to maximise the set-up potential

That first one (if it was usmair or whatever), didn't come close to the MPH to back it up, in fact the MPH showed it has zero gain, where the "dyno" said there was 40rwkw...

I'd like to see Trent's result hit the strip and pump out a MPH.

As with a few other people on here actually... It seems some have pretty "hefty" increases that seem to defy what everyone else are getting.

(not having a go at anyone here either, just wanna see more info).

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
