Hello,

I am thinking of upgrading my fuel system to E85 and wonder what sort of power I will get with my -5 garrets?

I have to upgrade my injectors anyway to push these turbos further on 98 but will I get much more power going to e85?

 

Thanks

Nice. Built as in forged or just rebuilt? And remains 2.6?

And you get yours with the -5's on it or did you install them?

E85 will be the juice of the gods for you! Keen to see the power curve with that setup when it gets up on the rollers. Also I feel you will be going single in no time at all! 

 

eFully forged bottom end.  Tomei Pistons and Nitto Conrods.

does have stock crank.

still 2.6.

Yes well single turbo.....pockets are not that big at the moment.

The driver for this is to get rid of the HKS F-con V as no one  good can tune it in NZ now.  So if I am going to retune I may aswell set it up better.

with the 600cc injectors maxed I got 384KW ATW's but we pegged it back abit for the street I got about 375ish.  I have 30,000 KM's so far on this tune and build.  Soichi who was a legend here in NZ did fantastic work.

I got just shy of 500hp with a fairly tame -5 setup + e85 (details + dyno in build thread in sig if your interested), based on a recent tear down it's likely not all cylinders were round at the time ?

Best thing about e85 compared to 98 was filled all the shortcomings of the low-mid range the setup had, it took a fun, but laggy setup to something very usable in all situations.

Car should be back in a couple of weeks as most of the work is done now, so will be interesting to see what a fresh 2.6 with only a mild compression bump produces in comparison.

Still in NZ?  Who will be tuning it?  I'd expect with a decent fuel system on board you should be able to go WELL into the 400kw @ hubs range on their dyno, I'd say high 400s could be doable.  One of the lads I know cracked 500kw at DTech with his HKS 2530Kais with some ethanol on board on a good RB28 build :)

Yeah still in NZ.  Hopefully one of the boys joe kyle or glenn suckling.

Joe doesn't tune. In Auckland now that Soichi has gone to Aus that really just leaves Glenn Suckling ...although there are tuners in Papakura and Pukekohe that I don't personally know).

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
