Guilt-toy Now Running On E85 !

[SS8_Gohan]

oh yeah, didn't think of plugs and cat...

ok, thanks for the info

[SimonR32]

Got my car running on BP98 last night with new 750cc injectors and then drained the tank

The CSR E86 Sucrogen is getting delivered tonight, going to mix and then give to Allstar for a tune

Good times fingers crossed!

Just got back from Caltex, its definitely e85 and costs only 92.7c per litre.

[Trozzle]

f**k. Yes.

Flat 12 afr same as Southland. For some reason it feels like it has more poke if thats possible. Give it a try...

If you go to the Springvale road Caltex, pump 7 takes forever, use pump 8.

[SS8_Gohan]

ok, i'll fight it out with all the other asians at pump 8

[scotty nm35]

Fight it out you may as there are no locks, just a flap, and you know what asians are like when theres a bargain around...

Sounds too small to me, If you are maxing your injectors now it would be a good idea to get at least 50% larger. You will require 20 - 30% more flow straight away.

I run 14mm 610cc Deka's with no problem on a VQ25det but on a 3L you may want more fuel than that. 044 should be fine.

Bang on mate.

My 570cc Siemens are maxing at 337 rwkw in the RB25/30 + GT3076R 20psi - single 044

Right now, I'm in no rush to fill up Ethanol but I'm keen to get the car ready on the next service.

Should I go 750cc or 870cc ? Same price too.

Would you expect with the 870's I might get rough idle/ bad economy.

What about driveability on a daily basis... The car right now is very smooth and linear.

Putting aside E85, would you expect the 3076 hasn't got much left and the 750's may be more suitable ?

Tuning is no issue with the Haltech S2000.

Sorry to drop so much at once.

Cheers.

[scotty nm35]

S2000, just what my tuner recommended for mine once i'm bored with the Emanage Ultimate.

Personally I would go the 870's or larger if you plan to run E85 in the future. You're already doing pretty well with the 3076, is that with the .82 rear?

Yes, and stock manifold.

Also put the large can actuator on it. Holds 20psi flat line easy.

My mech says theres still more in it, maybe another 4 or so.

cheers.

Just got back from the caltex in preston and they have no idea of what E85 is also!! Does anyone know when its supposed to come in all those 10 pumps that they have said it should be coming soon in...

Definetly switching to E85 if it comes there soon, 5 mins from home!!

[scotty nm35]

Just got back from Caltex, its definitely e85 and costs only 92.7c per litre.

Just to put a spanner in it, now on my third tank and it has richened considerably. Getting down to 10.5:1 now so looks like it is e70. One benefit is I got an extra 50k's to the last tank.

Im booked in for another touch up on a different dyno, I will have to make an e70 map now.

The price is fluctuating a bit, I asked the Caltex attendant and they said they are selling it at 20c under unleaded. I asked why as it has bugger all crude in it... Surely it shouldnt change price as drastically as 91. Perhaps we have had it too good at Southland.

I have tried most of the east side servo's Caltex listed, only Springvale and Clayton have it so far, the rest will be installed before the end of the year.

[SimonR32]

RB20 BP98 vs 50% CSR E85 and 50% BP98 (aka E42.5)

50hp or 36kw and 100Nm

[Randon_I_Am]

LOL at the "Run ID" Couldn't get it to ping????

Nice results, i can't wait for my caltex to bring the felx fuel out!

I spote to the tool at the counter yesterday at the servo and he knew f**k all about it and said it won't be in till next year

This is one of the 2 catlex's in canberra claiming to have it by the end of oct

[scotty nm35]

Latest tune, Caltex e70 FTW!

Stage 1 Sierra ATP highflow on a VQ25det.

So how come they changed from 85 to 70 just randomly I thought it was going to be switched at like hotter and colder months. What are you going to do now when it goes to 85 if your on the 70 tune?

[scotty nm35]

I will have to be on the ball with the wideband in the dash I guess.

Last fill was 88c per litre.

[boostn0199]

So did the af ratios get richer when you had the e85 tune and filled up with 70 yeah?
