I ran Brad Penn for a while as well, until I saw this white paper stating that it was not compatible with E85:
http://www.penngrade1.com/CMSFiles/File/March%202011_E85_TECH_LETTER_BRAD_PENN.pdf
I didn't observe the issues outlined in the paper, but this made me decide to switch anyway. Too bad, since I found a local distributor that bought it in bulk for a really good price.
Also tried the Valvoline NSL synthetic for higher zinc content, but am now back to synthetic VR1 10w30 as it is only slightly lower in ZDDP than NSL and is MUCH easier to find. No issues.
Yep, saw that too. I change my oil often so I am not worried about it.

Got the arctic cat running today. About to go out for a little ride.

Memorial Chase
How is your build coming texas30O?

I know! I still can't believe I got them back. Would you believe that for the last 3yrs they have been in the back of my brothers neighborhood!?!

He drove past a truck pulling the arctic cat on a trailer. Got them to pull over, you can guess the rest lol.

Hey guys! Guess what my brother found today!

Looks good Yasin!
Good thing you know someone with a grab bag of R200s laying around, lol.

Had to stop here due to a slipping clutch...

you gained rediculous power for a 50 shot.. awesome!
Yup, tends to happen with boost.
That kind of power on a street radial?
Nice! Any idea what the car weighs?
3100 ish with me in it.

About 18psi

Hello HybridZ!
Been a good while since I have been on. I recently went to the drag strip with my RB25 powered 95 240sx. I know it is not a Z car but I currently dont have one to tinker with so I thought I would just take a moment to share the RB's potential!
This is a ALL FACTORY rb25det with a few bolt on's...
62mm turbo on an eBay manifold
MAXED out nismo 740cc injectors (E85)
FReddy intake
Custom Downpipe and exhaust.
24x12x3 core FMIC
AEM engine management (self tuned)
Aeromotive 340lph stealth pump
50 shot activated by ECU

Running a series 2 with the AEM PnP in an S14 with a wiring specialties harness. Drive the car everyday on E85. Car made 458whp on 18psi with stock cams. I am very happy. I had to use the AEM cas wheel in a Z32 cas as not all RB cas's have removable pickup wheels.
-
Have converted several Z32 TT's over to E85. We have 18 or so stations that carry it here so its really no problem.

Hey guys, I just looked at the list and 1quickz has like the top 5 spots. Is this all the same car? I think each user should just get one spot.
-
I think there are some guys on the forums here running high 11's with only high 300 whp setups. Keep in mind, an L28ET that makes 350whp will probably have around 400ftlbs, or more...
At 274whp I ran an 11.80. Since then the car made 334whp/384wtq, have not made it to the track on that power. Car with driver weight full tank - 2460lbs

well i got an e-mail back from jeff
"I haven't looked under the hood of the car since it failed on the dyno... I'm taking a break from it.
I will tell you that I was running E85, stock internals, about 24-27 psi on my 72mm, and it was putting down 819 wHP when parts of the rotating assembly made two separate holes through the engine block. I found 3 connecting rod end caps on the dyno floor and saw a piston upside down in the block. I am assuming I bent/broke several rods at that power level. Surprisingly, I could still rotate the crankshaft using the starter motor - so I know the crank wasn't seized into the main caps.
One odd thing that happened just before the block ventilated was that my stage-5 SPEC sintered iron disc clutch slipped briefly and then caught immediately before things broke. This load spike in the rotating assembly was probably the straw that broke the camels back.
There was a 790-ish wHP run that felt fine though.
Jeff"
pretty inconclusive really... i'll probly just stop at 650 on the dyno pak , i'd like to enjoy the thing for awhile, not trying to find any limitations
-
Yeah, hoping its all still in good shape. Guess its time to get the 62-1 off the shelf
-
I know you said you verified it but it sounds like your a tooth off on the timing belt.
Yeah thats what I thought also, thats why I took the time to verify. Oh well, I have bigger problems right now anyway. It seams that some one at some point in time installed a neo turbo on the motor. Well I just experienced first hand a compressor wheel failure. New turbo time...
-
Still need help with this!
thanks!

The motor has NGK plugs (not sure of model#)
At 15* the car just has NO power. Feels as if the timing were extremely retarded. Even as advanced as it is my buddies stock nonturbo Z32 still pulls my S14. This should not happen! lol, his car is heavier and should be making less power but this thing just is not right and I just dont know where to go from here.

Where are you pulling timing from?
Are you getting calculated base timing through the data port or taking an induction pickup reading?
How are you setting timing? Are you putting the ECU into base mode before making your adjustments? Knowing what year ECU you have will determine what steps are needed to adjust timing. An S1 and S2 have 2 different ways of adjusting timing.
What steps have you taken to insure accurate timing with the timing belt,CAS, and ignition advance?
Taking an inductive signal from the #1 plug wire
I set timing by letting engin idle up to normal temp then adjust the cas to the desired advance. The swap currently has no consult port so I cant put ecu in base mode. However this is the same way we have always set timing on other Nissans and has always worked as long as the temp is in the normal range.
I have an S2 RB25det
I have checked to make sure the balancer represents the proper crank angle by making sure piston is at tdc when the damper is at 0*.
Once damper is at 0* I pulled the upper timing cover and verified the cam timing.

I am new to RB's and this has me quite confused.
The car is a 95 240sx
The motor is a RB25det (Stock minus freddy intake and fmic)
The problem is if I set the base timing at the specified 15* the car has no power hardly at all. When I crank the CAS all the way the the left(maxed out), then the fell like what I believe the car should feel like. I have had VG30dett's in the past and I feel like I have a general idea what the RB should feel like in a 240sx and when the timing is set to 15* the car litterally is pathetic, a stock 240sx would probably be faster.
I have verified crank, cam, damper to all be timed properly.
Thanks
Jeff

Recently built a R33 GTR with the -5s. Tomei cams, Tomei turbo headers and Tomei down pipes. Car made 486whp on 13psi. Will be looking for 575-600whp with new injectors.
