SS8_Gohan Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I test every batch of fuel and United is always between E85 and E90. I did get an E93 once but these changes seem minor to the tune. If I used Caltex it would run a bit richer. how do you test? i've only ever seen E80 - E83 with my GM Ethanol content sensor.... never seen United E85 higher (did see E84 briefly once but settled after 30secs or so at E83) Eflex for me when i used it was always bang on E70 - i made 15rwkw more on E85.

NYTSKY Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Test with a test tube mixing E85 and water. Accurate within 2%. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210351-nytskys-engine-build/page/81/#findComment-6508078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYTSKY Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Making use of the United servo up the road from my place. Paying $1.14L which isn't bad. Back on the road again after a head gasket change and new gearbox. Engine feels stronger off boost so I think comp is slightly up a bit after the new gasket went in. Went for a cruise on friday night with some of the boys and felt great Back on the dyno in a couple of weeks to test out the new gasket with more boost, see where this turbo runs out of puff.

Piggaz Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Oh no. What did they do you for? I hope they didn't smmash you too badly, but with that huge mofo hanging off the hotside of the engine..... hmm haha This is why they shouldn't be driven on long weekends. They're everywhere.

levinboy Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The problem is I'm 100% sure Dave wasn't doing anything stupid or hooning if you will The fact it's an import is the only reason The amount of smoke billowing bald tyre no brake light cars out there on the road that don't get stopped is frankly dangerous Dave next eastern creek track day you should come an unleash the beast Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210351-nytskys-engine-build/page/81/#findComment-6800728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYTSKY Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 I told him my car would produce less emissions than his patrol car Thing is most coppers have no idea what they are looking at, so they just issue you with a DECC notice. Could have been 100 times worse though. I got off fairly lightly considering he flat out laughed at me when I popped the bonnet lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210351-nytskys-engine-build/page/81/#findComment-6800736 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FineLine Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 an older head will serve you better dave. There are times I just dont drive the chair for this very reason. Mind you putting around in my tweed hat raises their eyebrows a bit. I have had them do a ubolt to hunt me down then just shake their head and drive off when they see the old foge in the tweed cap driving. The walking stick is my second line of defence, if the cap doesnt swing it the cane usually does. Growing old isnt all shit and shrapnel. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210351-nytskys-engine-build/page/81/#findComment-6800749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
