Hi all.

Ok so i have decided to save the rb30 build for a later date, mainly because I need to get my motor out, built and back in as quick as possible due to it being my daily and having no spare. Anyway, I have a forged bottom end on its way as well as arp head stud kit plus vrs to rebuild head and gaskets to stock.

I also have a haltech plus a hg 43g3 on the way and walbro fp. My question is, I have some 800cc injectors here from a previous build. Do you think these will be enough? I know 300kw is prob starting to push them but will I get away with it for a while? I havent played with e85 before so i dont even know if 300rwkw is even realistic with that setup. Opinions? Thanks in advance.

From what I've gathered, you need to pretty much double your injectors for an e85 build. If your turbo is in that range and you've got a decent tuner 300rwkw on e85 should be a breeze.

I'm currently pricing up an e85 build on my rb25, aiming for 400-450awhp and have been told I'll need a big fcker of a pump and 1000cc injectors.

My guess is should be ok with upped fuel pressure

Hope that helps

800cc injectors = 435hp at the wheels

We used to devide injector size by 12 but have found it to be more like 11

435rwhp = more than 300rwkw. So I should be right. But I may be better to just go 98 Ron for the moment and up injector size and retune in 6 or so months when I have cash. Don't want to be too close to the limit.

435rwhp at what duty cycle?

435rwhp is a safe maximum assuming your pump is up to the task.

For 300rwkw (400rwhp) you need 4.5L/min fuel flow to be safe

If i have 750cc injectors and i go for a tune with a nismo fuel pump @ 14v how much rwkw can i expect ? I am wanting hopefully around 320rwkw on E85.

Or should i grab some 1000cc injectors to be safe ?

And if i want to drive to the tuner, can i just plug in that nistune cable and then set the injector size on the pre-existing tune or is there more to it ?

Thanks

Need to know more than what injectors u have mate lol! The nismo pump will be fine I believe they are good for up to 400kw........Stand to be corrected if I'm wrong lol

Ok cool. Sounds like it will be close enough. I'm running a walbro 90000267 e85 pump. If that runs out ill just use my old one as a lift pump and run 2 of the e85 pumps off a surge tank.

I think the way to go is to just run e85 and tune it to a safe injector duty cycle and be happy with it until I've got money for bigger squirters.

Cheers for the assistance.

Its already made 304rwkw on 98 fuel so the other mods are fine, im just worried the injectors are too small for e85. Is it bad if they are at like 90% duty cycle ? Its not a track car so i wont WOT all the time.

I have made 360rwkw with Nismo 740cc with some head room. You will be fine at 320rwkw.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
