i am what you would call a newbie.

and i was simply just wondering to convert my skyline to e85

what would i have to do ?

cheers, sorry if its the wrong place.

Are you after power, or just to convert to e85? There are plenty of off the shelf kits available to simply change the injector pulse duty for running ethanol in any vehicle, but it isn't like what most turbo guys run for maximum power. You really need a standalone ecu for that.

It is highly likely you wont do an emissions test, just a sound test and inspection.

Just quieten the exhaust up, enclose the pod filter (if you have one) and make sure nothing vents to atmosphere.

DECC inspection needs to have factory items fitted. They generally take pics of the car when pulled over, when it goes for the inspection, and the on a database with stock engine bays.

Back when I had my DECC test the inspection guy had a checklist to tick, a quick glimpse I could see

He even had to draw a diagram of the exhaust, drawing all mufflers, the cat and how the exhaust ran under the car.

Ive done 3 DECC inspections and passed with a custom 4 inch exhaust and an 800hp motor. Pics were taken on the rd and taken at the inspection, as long as you dont change "viewable" items between pictures taken its ok.

As long as all aspects are legal (noise, plumbed back) you will be fine.

Correct, high flow cats themselves are not a defect. To pass emissions you need a Euro 5 cat with 500+ cells and a really good tuner.

My 500 cell cat and my one cell cat are identical from the outside so even if they took a pic on the rd and at the inspection they would see the same thing.

As for noise my 4inch turbo back was 88db with some minor "modifications".

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
