popularity of e85 in the states

Why cast manifold? this spools so fast I don't get to enjoy the car off boost, It was great but i didn't like it because it was too violent.
No qs valve is needed and your rods will be on borrow time, donc soit modest and don't try to put reinvent the wheel.
Either turbos will make 600+

QS can hurt the top end power some. I would just go for a standard divided setup.
those cast manifolds are usually undivided and not sure how large you can go on the turbo with how they fit in there.

and what makes you say that the rods are on borrowed time?
Ive heard of 2jzges go over 800 hp. is it the rod that snaps? Or is it the rod bolts?

and that's why I need a qsv. the cast is undivided and I want a .91 a/r twin scroll
and according to sound performances website, QSV wont hurt the top end power

Ethanol makes more HP and TQ than c16/q16 etc..
TQ kills your rods, about 700ft lbs of tq you are on borrow time and its also about how it comes on in the lower rpm.
At those power levels the weakest link on the jz are the rods700tq+ and the main caps ~900-1000hp.
You will not have to worry about spool time with 10.1 CR and ethanol with 60-67mm turbos.

and I wonder if cast vs tubular manifolds on e85 have been compared with the same turbos injectors and all that.
I wonder if there is still a spool difference.
and a good cast manifold is 400-500 while a quality tubular is 1500... hahaha
not trying to use any china made ebay special parts

yeah there is a difference between 800hp on pump and 800 hp on E85 and that is the massive amount of torque. I would take quicksc4's advice he has done it several times.
and the QS does hurt the top end power some, don't believe everything you read on the net. it is a trade off it helps the spool out if tuned correctly and it will shave some off the top end but most don't care. A proper divided stainless manifold with a divided turbo should spool fast enough anyways for the turbos you are using and you get unrestricted top end power.
The QS valve is actually for massive turbo's shooting for 1000hp, but your would have good spool already.
just get rid of the distributor or shorten it down and use coilpacks. do you really plan on running 600hp through 1 stock coil for a long time? you are going to loose power because of the gaps you will have to run. just get a regular manifold and spend the extra money on a ecu and coilpacks.

It probably isn't a significant drop but there is clearly an obstruction being placed in the exhaust stream. Not major by any means but it's there.
#25
alright. thanks for the help guys!
i want to go with the coils but im having a hrd time figuring all that stuff out. ill have to do some more research into it.
and i saw the soundperfomance supra with a cast manifold and a QSV with a precision 6766 or 6266 can remember and it had a gorgeous torque curve
thats what made me want to try a QSV
maybe ill look into an undivided turbo now

and its hard to find a good divided manifold for less than 1000 bucks. And I would prefer not to go china brand for quality purposes (aka don't want to have to spend 300 bucks on a manifold and another 500 bucks to get it to fit)

So as I begin work on my sc300, I have been contemplating swapping the head gasket or not (to the tt hg) but as ive been doing more research, if you plan to run e85, the stock NA head gasket is better. im building my sc to have fun with (first built car!), take road trips in, that sort of thing. how popular is e85 in other parts of the country? I know here in ohio every krogers gas station has e85. so that means I have access to 3 e85 stations within 10 minutes of my house. but how is it in other parts of the country? is it hard to find? don't want to get stuck running low on gas with no e85 stations in sight! should I just bite the bullet and run the lower compression tt hg so I can still run high boost on pump? im gonna be running high boost a lot... never know when you are gonna roll up to that ricer civic! (that is a very bad problem here in ohio...)
