Hi guys I currently have a standard bottem end 33 gtst

Mod list in

Pfc z32

Bosch 044

660cc injectors

Op6 highflow

Tuned at 250kw injectors currently hitting 64% duty

Question is do I have enough headroom for e85 with these injectors or do I need to go bigger also what else needs attention before I head down this path

That's abit broad. What is an early death? 2years? Thats mine Thus far and cars are still spot on.

Not sure if it was coincidence, but my primary feed pump got a bit lazy after I put the engine back together. It was sitting around for 10 months between when I popped the engine and got it back together. I only picked it up because the fuel pressure was falling and afr's were leaning out before the secondary feed pump came online. If you have a look for if, 500 working hours the 044's are rated at on E85 fuel.

Depends how much power you want, but I would say 660cc injectors won't get you far.

I'm using 875cc injectors and I'm at 92% duty cycle with a Hypergear SS2 turbo.

But if you're getting the E85 itch just drop in 1000cc injectors and a Walbro 450 E85 pump.

I imagine just being submerged in the fuel isn't the issue, the bronze bush bearings will fail after a while without the lubrication of the petrol. Stick to pumps designed for ethanol/methanol and you will be fine.

044 is not rated for E85 and will die an early death. Best not to take the risk and put an ethanol compatible pump on it on a "just coz" basis.

044 would have to be one of the most reliable pumps to use on E85.

040 on the other hand die left right and centre on e85

660 is definitely on the short end of the spectrum for that turbo on E85. It might restrict your boost to around 18psi. Hard to say

I use 1000cc injectors and 81% duty cycle with a 21U highflow 306rwkw. But my fuel pump isn't the best.

You could bump fuel pressure up perhaps. but I'd be looking into a set of top feeds

run a little e85 safe 2 stroke oil in with each tank to save your Bosch pumps.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
