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...

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
