So I've done some more researching lol. It appears I need a bigger pump and not bosh cos they only have 500hr life on e85 and somewhere between 1000 and 2000cc injectors and then a tank of nectar. I guess the hunt for parts begins

I've read everything and hence my surprise at some of the recommendations. Should have been clearer that I was whinging rather than asking. Seen enough threads to know what miserly GTR owners have shown works.

I was expecting to install the turbos and run stock piping and intercooler. But hard to TELL the mechanic what is best when he considers it his job to know. So new mechanic may be the way to go.

So thanks everyone for the usual "assistance".

does the fuel rail need to be replaced? I read on one thread it does then in another it doesn't. I wouldn't think you would have to. And what do u guys recommend minimum cc injectors. There are some 800cc for sale that say e85 compatible.

Stock fuel rail is fine.

Injector sizing is dependent on what you want from the car power wise. Usually 1000cc Xspurts are what I recommend, unless you want more than 400kw in the future on e85.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
