There has been no fuel variation to speak of since e85 was introduced, as long as you run the same brand and fatten the fuel map a little it will run fine.

I predict 300kw with crazy response. :)

Well i plan to use caltex eflex which is closer to E70 i believe as i have several of them not far from my place. Yes the main goal of the car is heaps of response, mid-range power is the main concern :D

Also guys i know this is probably crap but wtf is this? must be magical like an ebay chip :D

Bloody hell i'd be happy with anything around 270-280kw as i'll get bigger huffers on it one day to make more, but E85 seems to be the way to go if you want the best out of it. While i'm here, anyone used rochester injectors? fair few supra's run em for E85 and they are fairly cheap but will need a custom rail + plugs for my setup.

saw these the other day as well, wondering how safe they would be.. keen to throw something like it in the honda though I've been advised it could run lean

Most ecu's will learn quite well considering, especially the newer ones. Of course it's always better to run an EMU or similar but in an NA engine it won't do any harm. Latency shouldn't be an issue with the newer design injectors imo. Do it Artz and prove me right. lol.

The other option is to run a new Walbro 416 or similar and bump up the pressure on the stock injectors.

ok looked into it a bit..cant easily run a reg cause its a non-return fuel system..I Know the honda ecu is pretty tricky, runs dual widebands and has lot of self learning features whether or not this will work in my favour or against im not sure...Apparently they get upset when cats are removed :unsure:

the thread i read where a guy just filled up with e85, said it was running 18:1 afrs...oddly enough it lost power on dyno but was faster than other cars the same...

Returnless fuel systems still have a reg in the tank normally. The self learning should be fine if you keep everything stock.

If you were planning to gain power don't bother. (unless you strap a turbo to it or bump the compression up to 15:1)

I probably wont bother anyway but it keeps me ammused thinking about it..:D

A nice bonus today when I went to fill up at United, they have decided to lower the price of e85 to 25c less than unleaded. (from 10c less) I ended up paying 96c a litre, it hasn't been that cheap ever as far as I remember...

Apparently United buying the ethanol processing plant in Queensland has filtered down to us plebs at the pump for a nice discount. :)

Serious? :woot:

Oh wait, i shouldnt get that excited as there is still only Caltex around here.... E70 it is.... I REALLY hope the E85 comes down in price so the popularity goes up so more stations are available...

There are 4 United servo's in NSW now, hopefully more will follow as they are pumping the Melbourne rollout heavily. Dont look if you don't want to get upset. lol.

Damn!

What is the current E content of the United stuff? How does it compare to E-flex?

    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
    • Foreshadowing was never so easy.
    • The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
