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'

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.

James

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

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.

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. :blink:

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
