Guilt-toy Now Running On E85 !

[tets]

wondering if i should try e85 on my new engine build. running a fully built rb25 with cams and all the other goodies needed, running a turbonetics gtk550 so its slightly larger then a gt35, will prob run about 24-27psi. any idea what power i might beable to hit?

hrm after reading more i dont think my 740 injectors will handle it. 1000 is the next step

I just spoke to the Enhance servo at South Granville (Granville Ethanol) and they have E85 available as long as you take responsibility for its use in your vehicle.

Got this email recently from a well known magazine feature writer about his engine (SR20) and the switch from premium to E85.

Got it tuned it last night. On 19psi power went from 289kW to 311. In the end we turned it up to 24psi but the injectors maxed out and exhaust housing on the turbo was starting to choke. However it made 342kW and the increase was from the word go, not just top end. The car wheel spun on the dyno for the first time ever, it’s very aggressive!

PJ has posted on here and elsewhere I reckon. His car is bloody great! 10.7 quarter too.

Went for a drive with him a few Fridays ago, that car is an absolute animal!!!! For its setup, that thing is incredibly fast, 135mph with a GT3037?

Also Adam at JEM has E85 in a massive drum. $1.50L

Not sure if it was mentioned or not but the V8 Supercars are switching to E85 for next years championship should prove some interesting results and possibly even more demand for the bogan crowd (we all know there is a lot of them, some don't even know it...) which means import drivers might also benefit. Interesting article in the Current CAMS magazine too that the fire extinguishers will not need to be upgraded as dry chemical powder and foam are fine.

Enhance service stations have E85 @95c/L.

hey mate sorry for the late reply.. but i been at the nats.. probly pissin ppl off more then anything but having a damn good time as well

ii will

do a search on google for datalogit, the joint is in NZ and they do actually send out your datalogit afr you pay for it in a pretty reasonable time frame, ppl have reported that the product has been recieved in the mail before any kind of confirmation of payment or order completion at all. So pay your money and the unit will arrive quicker then expected.

Cheers

Go to the Datalogit site and look under distributors , the Australian one is in Tasmania and if he has stock the service is good . Can be hard to contact sometimes but keep trying .

Cheers A .
