So i'm going to be converting my car to e85 soon because theres a pump near my house and why not. Been looking at items for the fuel system which i'll need and have a couple of questions, will i need an fpr? if so any suggestions? Im looking at getting 700-800cc injectors, preferably on the cheaper side without needing an aftermarket fuel rail any suggestions? i've found these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121546852066?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIThowever it says they are to suit a top feed rail, is it possible to run a top feed with the standard intake plenum? sorry if they're noob questions, thanks!

I've been using Deatschwerks (Bosch EV14s) for a couple of years now and they're a great injector, they're also available with stainless internals especially for ethanol based fuels.... http://www.deatschwerks.com/products/fuel-injectors/sport-compact/nissan/skyline/rb20det/1989-94-rb20det

Should be fine if you keep the 255, the 460 is known to have issues on some cars as the return flow is insufficient. Just make sure you check the base fuel pressure is similar, and that it drops 10psi or so from there at idle.

i've heard of those missileman and aware they're good however i'm wanting something in the 700cc range because i'll be using a nistune and its recommended not to go above 800cc, also compared to the denso they're about 200 extra :(

There are a couple of thread on here which deal with the issues of ethanol fuels and what is required, but if your planing on going the Nistune route, head on over to their forums and introduce yourself... http://forum.nistune.com/index.php

tis up to you, but try not to get too carried away, just because that fuel is available close to home doesn't mean you should go down that path, you have to figure a cost verses benefit analysis and go from there.

Is it really worth the cost to do that with the little old RB20?

I'm currently running 98 with a few mods and no tune whatsoever so I've always planned on getting the car tuned anyway. The main downsides of e85 are it goes off quickly, bad fuel economy and not available everywhere. I daily my car, dont usually drive far distances and have a pump close to home so its not that much of a downside for me. In addition e85 is cheaper than 98 so the bad fuel economy and fuel costs should even out especially considering my car is currently running rich.

So in my eyes its worth it, I'm also considering a turbo upgrade in the future and E85 will help lag and as we all know a laggy rb20 makes for a horrible street car. So the only extra cost really is the injectors which is not too bad

I don't know if E85 is going to reduce the RB20 lag significantly, maybe cam gears would be better, anyway, more data is always good, so there is no harm in reading the "Rb20 Turbo Upgrade, All Dyno Results" sticky from start to finish,and the RB25 one too ;)

More fuel is burnt, more exhaust flow, faster spool up, so it should make a noticable difference. I'm not too worried about lag honestly especially with my setup right now (standard rb25 turbo and usual supporting gear) mainly want to go E85 just because of the extra power across the entire powerband. Gone through most of both threads already. Believe me if i was in the position to i'd be dropping an rb25 in without a moments hesitation haha, its crazy how much power they can make with minimal mods, why didnt nissan put the rb25 in the 32 from the start :(

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
