Guilt-toy Now Running On E85 !

[2rismo]

In regard to the more fuel argument, even if you do get more fuel in there, the cylinder's the same size so the exhaust gases would be the same volume (unless more volume of air was in there) or would it be less because you know have more fuel and less air?

I never was that good at understanding engines

If you put more of anything in the front, you get more out the back.

So, Can you run higher compression on E85? Would it yield more results?

Hypothetically, Say you were building and engine and you plan to run it on E85, a stabler fuel should allow for more compression, yielding more power. Especially down low, and off boost.

Of course, I've no idea what I'm talking about.

Furthermore, I guess there's no going back to 98pulp after you build a high comp engine. And on the track, most engines are on boost rather than off. So it's prolly not viable.

But is it possible?

Very possible - we intend on running more compression with the F6 we are building atm, aiming for around 850rwhp on E85.

i think its more of a reality then a posibility, just look at the compression ratio alcohol / methanol cars run.. over 11:1

And the rest 13:1 and then add boost on methanol!

yep for sure.. the higher effective octane rating of E85 means you can squander that advantage either

with higher boost at the top end, or much higher compression to gain more torque everywhere although

at higher compression I guess this would diminish the ultimate boost limit at the top.. where the headline

power figure is made.

Now what you really want is a variable compression ratio engine! that would be the best, especially

if you combine with variable cam timing.

compare the flexibility of a hawk's wing to the relatively fixed wing of a plane! smart variability should be the ultimate

goal of every machine..

Is that N/A or boosted tough.

E85 would be awesome if you were turbocharging a normally N/A car. No need to reduce compression.

ok so i have a rb25+t turbo conversion, with higher comp ratio,

what would i have to do to run this fuel, apart from a tune, bigger injectors?

the car already has the usual mods, bosch 023 pump, Fmic, full exhaust, and getting a remap soon,

thanks, sorry if it has been covered, but 20 pages is a lot of reading lol

put on decat today and run it up again

[180or200]

Cant read it man, try this one

[W0rp3D]

Why the f**k do all these dyno guys put up road speed instead of rpm.

[NYTSKY]

put on decat today and run it up again

I cant believe the results mate, amazing!!!

340rwkw out of a .68 housing. Thats GT35R territory.

Cant wait to get mine on the road and tuned on this stuff.

Yeah still blows me away....You wont be dissapointed thats for sure

who's up for running E85 for power cruise ? where is the nearest outlet? I was thinkin bout pushing my beast to 400rwkw for power cruise and with standard rb25 cams im going to need to be running e85...

[NXTIME]

Anthony,

There are two Enhance service stations that sell e85 that are about 15 mins from WSID: Coner of Rawson and Ferndell, South Granville, and Hume Highway, Carramar (south side, just west of Meccano lights).

thanks charlie..

was good meeting you yesterday, thanks for saying hello!

I am if i can get my engine run in properly before hand.

I have 2x 20L drums that will be filled with E85 that i will be taking just incase.

im keen...need to add a 2nd set of injectors though...and maybe another fuel pump.

[Guilt-Toy]

okay.. im going to do the switch back to e85 on the second week of feb.. i went to the united servo in newcastle and asked them about e85, the guy had no idea what i was on about and gave me the nsw area managers number.

Im going to be ringing him up and hassling him
