Im looking at now running my car on e85, since there is now 2 servos within 5 minutes of my place selling it. The car is fairly standard still running 12psi, tuned, 3" exhaust, front mount etc the basic power mods.

With that the standard injectors are already running at around 88-90% duty cycle which doesn't leave any head room for the extra flow the e85 will need. So to do this i will need to upgrade the injectors i was looking at the Xspurt 1000cc injectors and changing to a top feed fuel rail and upgrading to the walbro e85 fuel pump at the same time and getting it retuned, with doing that i have enough flow for a future turbo upgrade without having to buy injectors twice.

Will these injectors be too big to be able to get a good tune out of them at such a low power level?( reading around about them shows they are more them equiped to have the engine idleing well and give good off boost driveability but does that translate to being able to be tuned well for low power levels) or am i best off getting a set of s15 480cc injectors but then having to upgrade again down the track?

cheers

I have some from scotty brand new unused xspurt 1000cc. Never taken out of pack.

$550

Modern top feed injectors rule. Great idle and control. I am using 725 cc injectors , obviously never installed the 1000cc ones, but people rave about them. Gone are the dark days!

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
