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.

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
