Perhaps sticky my "Complete Ethanol" thread?

It really does not need it's own section.

Look how dead the RB30 section is by way of example. Given the amount of options/configuration and issues when setting up an entire motor... Just a fuel, no point splitting off.

it's not really a matter of how dead the thread is or will be....the RB30 section has alot of usefull information and in a small location that makes it easy to find.

If an E85 section can't be justified by itself, why not an alternative input section covering e85, racing fuels, NOS, water/methanol injection etc

I like it becasue it makes Fuels a specific area

I dont know what other peoples thoughs are but on the GTR.CO.UK forum they have even made "Turbos" a sub forum so information can be found easier.

Not saying its wrong but "Forced Induction" itself is a very broad subject in my opinion

I have been searching for the complete E85 thread only found it becuase I saw this thread otherwise the search function doesnt show the thread up. So i reckon it a good idea to have it sub division only for finding the info better thereby you wont waste serve space with threads that could have been answered in one section.

I found it first shot?

Simply went into Forced Induction. Top right corner, using the search "E85 Complete"

It's the first result when using last post, obviously because you've posted in it.

Or

If you use the other filters for example "title" instead of "last post time"... It's the 8th result, and would be the 8th result regardless of when the last post was in it. It shows up no problem without the need for advanced search!

Hate to say it but the search is working fine, you are just not looking at it correctly.

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
