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.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • 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)
