what he said ^^^ :)

mine were gonna be getting around the 100% around the 360kw mark with an E85 walbro pump so i upgraded to 2000cc inj. food for thought

Did you check and monitor fuel pressure on the dyno?

So I've just taken this ryco filter out..

Cannot blow through it. It's clogged so bad it's not funny. As in, air goes in and doesn't come out the other side clogged .

from my experience hearing from people running E85 i dont think you get much change from 1000cc inj, after about 350kw :)

**** running E85.

is the guy that built your car running E85?

correct me if im wrong but running more fuel pressure you can use less duty cycle??

Replaced filter, 80% duty in 3rd at 7500 rpm. Not sure how that compares to 4th gear on dyno however.

This was my exact experience.

I have heard other people run into walls at ~330-370kw with mysterious fuel problems on R34's when everything else seems ok, replace the filter. At least on E85.

I upgraded to 1400's thinking my 1000's had maxxed out but found out that wasn't the case. 1000's on e85 seem to really get hairy at 400, though some people reckon they've done 450+ on them? Can never really have too much injector headroom nowadays anyway. Good enough excuse to upgrade :P

Exactly, that is how we found the flow was dropping off. You have no idea what is happening without a gauge on the feed line, and you need to be on a dyno if the gauge is in the engine bay.

Speaking of which, it seems some factory regs can be too small for the 460L pumps, they don't bypass enough. The S15 I worked on recently was tuned at 60psi at idle, no wonder the car wouldn't idle well with twice the fuel pressure it should have had. It is definitely an important test that should be checked after any major fuel system mods.

are the nismo considered factory reg ?

No, they seem to work fine. I only realised the SR regs were too small after having idle issues on petrol after installing a 460L intank. Checked the pressure and found it way too high. Perhaps the RB's will be fine as there are 2 more injectors bleeding fuel pressure off...

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
