United is 10c a litre more expensive and will get you slightly less K's but smells much better than eflex, not harsh but sweet.

The United made slightly more powers at less boosts when I tuned on it yesterday. In the end I chose United due to the pump being local.

Did you know.... The first production car the Ford Model T 1908 was flex fuel compatible ? It could run just as good on ethanol as did on gasoline. There was a brass knob on the right side of the stee

Mick, I don't see the point of pushing every last kw out of an engine in a daily driver. I mean each to their own and all that - bit different for track cars. A tune will forever be a compromise betwe

can you list the results of power and boost with each fuel? did united not make any more power when running equal boost?

cheers

United made more power but the tuner decided enough was enough. Stock motors can only take this sort of punishment for so long. The compressor was well out of efficiency by this stage and although I was keen to keep going, he didn't want a piston out the block. Fair enough, I have to trust his judgement.

i live 2mins from springy caltex, however the cheltanham rd and clayton one are only 15mins away so not exactly far. Having small dash 7s on 8psi actuator which i know will struggle to hold high boost, perhaps united will be the better option if it can make more power with less boost. Who tuned your car? how much more duty are you using on your injectors on united, 10%?

Cihan (Etuner) has always tuned my car, no-one else would touch it originally.

I have the laptop and tune here but I have no idea how to find out injector duty as I just changed to the fcon vpro, and still learning the software. I'm guessing around 80% on the 1000's, it would only be around 2% more if that at a guess.

Got some for the GTR drag challenge next week, 81% from Rozelle. Still WAY better than anything from Caltex

STILL? There must be something in this. Remember my last lot ? It was E77. Wherever Dave gets it from seem's like the go... but oh so far away!

Rozelle, pull your finger out!

The boost wont hurt the engine. Especialy with E85. Micko's is running 24psi on 325ish kw. Gtx3071. Dont be soft :)

Fine!!! The paperwork will say 'Max safe tune' so whatever they choose ill be happy with..... It'll be more than i am capable of anyway LOL

Im running 25psi and 336kw actually :P haha

Hey guys, i thought instead of me making a new thread i would just ask in this one. I'm doing a DE+TT on my 300ZX which is on 10.8:1 Compression, i plan to use most of the stock TT bits on my NA except for the injectors, fuel pump and ecu. Can the varying blends (winter/summer) be tuned around so the car can run both? obviously it won't be optimal but can it be done? On 98 octane the car needs 15 degrees of timing removed from the 2000~4000rpm area of the map trailing to 5 degrees removed up top so i'm hoping E85 will help with this?. I'm looking at running around 18psi to see what i can get out of the stock turbos. They usually make 250rwkw on 16psi on pump fuel so i'm hoping mine will make a bit more at 18psi and E85.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
