Tx_jc_s13 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Run e85 without a inter cooler. Or meth and no intercooler Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Idk about e85 I would think it need a lot of modification to run ethanol on these engines, they usually don't like ethanol kills hp and performance. If you were going that far might as well do a L28 swap more hp and displacement. Too bad we don't have what japan does to there L-6's or we would see 450+hp L24's and 900hp L28's. 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Except we do have those here. They are rare in Japan too. E85 only needs one.mod, to double the fuel flow. And simply turn up the boost to make more power. 1 Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 You can do that, everyone does, but the power will be unclean and shitty and not tuned. I think there is no point to boost at all if you are just gonna do that and spray shit tons of fuel and more ignition. Now you can run these things with no knock at all, when well tuned on 16psi, with a water-air intercooler and make 350 all day, reliable, effecient power. Quote Link to comment
Tx_jc_s13 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 yea you would definetly need to tune it for e85. my rb25 runs e85 and i love it, never overheats even after my elextric fans blew i didnt even notice until i parked the car. im looking into nistune to see if theres a way to get a standalone system.

Tx_jc_s13 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 to run e85 you would need a big fuel pump (currently using aeromotive for my rb), bigger injectors, and a nice standalone tune. 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes E85 needs about double the fuel flow Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Meth injection is a nice option too. My buddy only ever had to fill his methanol tank like 2 times a year or so if he was easy on it, like daily driving and such Quote Link to comment

captaingamez Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 It passed emissions yesterday, and they put the wrong VIN on the paperwork. Wow, Its totallymy fault for expecting competency from the government. or rather, not expecting incompetency. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I take that back, its even worse. The VIN on the title is one number off, the emissions paperwork is correct. I dont know how I missed this, but someone other than me made a major fuck up in multiple instances with paperwork for the last several years. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Wow,I advise you to drink heavily before going down to DMV-you're gonna need it. :sneaky: 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Why bother to get it corrected? Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Why bother to get it corrected? Because then my title wont match the VIN still, and the title VIN still wont match the title and the Emissions paperwork VIN wont match the title, so I can not do wnything at all until this is corrected, I can not do ANYTHING AT ALL WITH THE CAR! In Arizona you can not make something your property until it passes emissions. Emissions must be passed to transfer your title. I have been unable to transfer the title untile I had this under a temp tag and insure it, to drive it to emissions, which it passed, but they took the VIN off the car VIN plate. So the emissions paperwork is correct to the car. But according to AZ, the car doesn't exist, because this fuck up has been ongoing for over 10 years(how long MVD keeps their paperwork), so whoever last had the car under the correctly titled VIN is no longer in the records, and the last owners over 10+ years have been going off the wrong paperwork, and wrong number. Heres where it gets crazy, it still comes up as a Maxima to my insurance company with the wrong VIN. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 So the title is not yet in your name, that is a good reason. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yup, arizona state law now says that you can not make something your property unless it passes emissions. Regardless if you want to register it on the road or not. This counts for all cars of any sort, so if you want to have a title for your race car, which will never see a road ever, it has to pass emissions. Gotta love how government works FOR you right?

ggzilla Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 So if I buy a house in AZ it has to pass emissions. How weird. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 No, just vehicles, its not any less ridiculous at all. I meant "make something your property" as vehicles. Quote Link to comment
heretic Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 FINALLY a state with some smog regs more asinine than CA :) Yup, arizona state law now says that you can not make something your property unless it passes emissions.

ggzilla Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Except that AZ gives exemptions for old vehicles and anyone not living in phoenix or Tucson areas, electric vehicles, or newer vehicles. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 FINALLY a state with some smog regs more asinine than CA :) Unfortunately not, CA still holds the worst there. All you have to do is emissions once every two years here, nothing much past that, if you have OBDII its a guaranteed pass if your engine is running correctly and you dont have any check engine light. My honda could be 600hp turbo and it will pass with flying colors every time in AZ, as long as it has OBDII. But to require this of every vehicle before you can make it your property is appalling.

heretic Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 thats almost exactly the same as here... 6yr old cars or newer no smog check at all..... Smog every two years via OBDII, no tailpipe sniffer.... pre OBDII back to 1976 standard smog inspection.... 1975 or older are exempt... AND believe it or not there are still a handful of counties that require no smog checks regardless of year. However we don't have the "every vehicle before you can make it your property" ..... SOOOOO it looks like AZ has surpassed CA on the stupid list to me B) Unfortunately not, CA still holds the worst there.

PS- hahahaha you said Honda :poke: Quote Link to comment
Alchemist Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's frustrating when a modified car can pass the sniffer test with lower emissions than a brand new car yet fails the visual inspection because of what's under the hood!! That's what happened to someone I know some years back. Quote Link to comment
