Hey all,

Just need help pulling the trigger.

Im upgrading my fuel pump and injectors to run e85.

Ive read through the E85 thread but just need some advice pulling the trigger.

Im aiming for around 400kws in my 33 GTR.

Im going to use the intank walbro E85 pump, should be big enough?

The injectors im deciding between the

BOSCH EV14 1000cc + 11mm Extensions + Plugs

or the

BOSCH 2200cc Injectors + 11mm Extensions + Plugs

Will 1000cc be big enough? ive been told buy the sales team of the place im getting them for they should be?

Or for an extra $200 go the 2200cc injectors. But reading have said they arent as easy to tune or something?

Any advice or real world knowlage of these two in your own cars would be great

thanks

Adam

You need at least 740cc injectors to support that sort of power on 98. Given that e85 needs more than 50% extra injector capacity to be safe, then 1000cc injectors is actually a bit on the slim side. I'd be looking at something bigger, but not as big as the 2200s. There's ID1300 and so on available, yes?

Ok thats what i was thinking, just getting myself confused...

Does that go for the stainless insides of the 1300cc boschs?

Is there really that much of a differance between the standard bosch and the ids?

The ID2000 spray pattern is pretty poor and linearization becomes a problem below 1.4ms pulse width. This causes all sorts of issues with E85 from poor idle control, poor engine response to cylinder bore washing. They work but users need to understand the additonal risk...fuel dilution etc

It is my understanding that any of these Bosch EV14s need to be modified for use on liquid fuels, as they are originally gas injectors. I might be wrong, but that was my understanding.

The 1000's are fine, the 2000's are natural gas injectors.

If ID actually release the 1300's for sale (I hear they are having issues supplying them atm) they would be the best option, until then the 1000's are your best choice, with a higher base fuel pressure to bump them up into the 1300-1500cc flow area. Be wary buying from the US as a warranty from there is almost useless. (by the time you pay for shipping back to ID and wait a month for them to be returned.)

The other option is Moran injectors, not cheap but there are plenty of sizes to chose from, and they spray beautifully, but you will need a 10 micron filter for them or your warranty is void.

Any other options for slightly bigger as those morans are damn expensive

Not for E85, there are 2200cc continental/VDO injectors for petrol vehicles, but I have never seen them used, and they are a little more expensive than the Bosch 2000's last I checked with my wholesaler.

The moran injector fan/spray angle is very wide... I allways wondered if you'd get to much wetting down against the intake mani wall.

Ever seen a set in a GTR?

Not yet, the EV14's are the big seller, the Morans are always too expensive at around $250-$300 each, depending on size.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
