Guilt-toy Now Running On E85 !

[rob82]

from what ive seen E85 is on par with racefuel up to 30psi...its beyond this that the racefuel takes the lead in the power stakes.

What racefuel? I've tuned some big hp, 25psi plus xr6t on vp109 and E85 and I can tell you that you can definately find the detonation threshold on VP109 where e85 you could just keep putting timing in with no knock what so ever.

Unless you're speaking of a particular brand and even then, a batch, that's not always going to be an accurate statement.

i am speaking of a particular brand...thats why i said 'correct'

My cars tuned for 240rwkw with 98.

What will happen if i put 20L of this stuff in my tank without any tuning?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

it will be lean as hell and probably not run at all

[R 2 THE J]

thanks dude..

just asking cas i wanna get it tuned with a 20L in it. reason why 20L is because Jerry Cans are in 20L and it would be handy to tune a mix of this in.

What if I just putt it around to my Tuner?

It would only be driven for 20-30mins. try to stay off boost as much as i can?

Cheers guys

on my pulp tune with ethanol we couldn't even get it to run enough for a single pass...

just get a jerry, fill it, og to the tuners and THEN empty out your 98 and fill with 85

I'm hopefully getting my mine tuned in the next 10 days or so with E85.

Now i have an ECUtalk thingy that lets me add fuel and timing across the whole map up to 20%. Will i be able to safely fill up, add some fuel and get to the tuners (prob 20km away).

Thanks in advance.

its really not that hard to fill up at the tuners...

take off return line and attach some fuel hose, turn car on and wait for jerry to fill... when tank is empty fill from e85 jerry can

it takes like 5 mins

No it is not a good idea to run E85 on a PULP tune

Hell lean = Engine damage

So lean in fact that you would struggle to keep the engine running at times

Well its not PULP tune cause it will have 20% more fuel. I just want to know if it will run. It wont be thrashed.

[NYTSKY]

Just dump the fuel at the tuners and fill the tank with E85. Simple.

Why risk it?

[aym23q]

Yea it would run i guess. But i and others would not recomend it as your pretty much flying blind with no idea how your afrs are

20% is just a guess, you could be way off at certain load points - and its not like your gonna be coasting the car to the tuners, your still gonna have to put the car under load here n there

Wonderful news:

Caltex will support the introduction of the new E85 Commodore by installing E85 pumps in 30 metropolitan and regional service stations later this year and increasing that figure to 100 within 12 months.

I have been dreaming bout this day

[SS8_Gohan]

that is sooooooooo cool

[aym23q]

I just realised though that they are only talking bout VIC???

Are they planning on the same with the rest of Australia>?

I'm sure once holden release sugar cane taxis that it will very quickly spread to other states. It's great news.

Quote: And the car maker has committed to launching a Commodore that is capable of running on 85 per cent ethanol by the end of the year.

Holden have been making 100% ethanol cars for years and shipping them abroad haven't they?

Also, I don't like the government getting involved in anything or it will be bound to fail.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

but is is gonna be CSR or manildra?
