In regard to the more fuel argument, even if you do get more fuel in there, the cylinder's the same size so the exhaust gases would be the same volume (unless more volume of air was in there) or would it be less because you know have more fuel and less air?

I never was that good at understanding engines :blink:

If you put more of anything in the front, you get more out the back.

So, Can you run higher compression on E85? Would it yield more results?

Hypothetically, Say you were building and engine and you plan to run it on E85, a stabler fuel should allow for more compression, yielding more power. Especially down low, and off boost.

Of course, I've no idea what I'm talking about.

Furthermore, I guess there's no going back to 98pulp after you build a high comp engine. And on the track, most engines are on boost rather than off. So it's prolly not viable.

But is it possible?

Very possible - we intend on running more compression with the F6 we are building atm, aiming for around 850rwhp on E85.

i think its more of a reality then a posibility, just look at the compression ratio alcohol / methanol cars run.. over 11:1

yep for sure.. the higher effective octane rating of E85 means you can squander that advantage either

with higher boost at the top end, or much higher compression to gain more torque everywhere although

at higher compression I guess this would diminish the ultimate boost limit at the top.. where the headline

power figure is made.

Now what you really want is a variable compression ratio engine! that would be the best, especially

if you combine with variable cam timing.

compare the flexibility of a hawk's wing to the relatively fixed wing of a plane! smart variability should be the ultimate

goal of every machine..

Is that N/A or boosted tough.

E85 would be awesome if you were turbocharging a normally N/A car. No need to reduce compression.

ok so i have a rb25+t turbo conversion, with higher comp ratio,

what would i have to do to run this fuel, apart from a tune, bigger injectors?

the car already has the usual mods, bosch 023 pump, Fmic, full exhaust, and getting a remap soon,

thanks, sorry if it has been covered, but 20 pages is a lot of reading lol

put on decat today and run it up again

I cant believe the results mate, amazing!!!

340rwkw out of a .68 housing. Thats GT35R territory.

Cant wait to get mine on the road and tuned on this stuff.

Yeah still blows me away....You wont be dissapointed thats for sure

who's up for running E85 for power cruise ? where is the nearest outlet? I was thinkin bout pushing my beast to 400rwkw for power cruise and with standard rb25 cams im going to need to be running e85...

Anthony,

There are two Enhance service stations that sell e85 that are about 15 mins from WSID: Coner of Rawson and Ferndell, South Granville, and Hume Highway, Carramar (south side, just west of Meccano lights).

thanks charlie..

was good meeting you yesterday, thanks for saying hello!

I am if i can get my engine run in properly before hand.

I have 2x 20L drums that will be filled with E85 that i will be taking just incase.

im keen...need to add a 2nd set of injectors though...and maybe another fuel pump.

/nods

okay.. im going to do the switch back to e85 on the second week of feb.. i went to the united servo in newcastle and asked them about e85, the guy had no idea what i was on about and gave me the nsw area managers number.

Im going to be ringing him up and hassling him :)

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
    • I need a great maintenance workshop around Idaho, if you know one please let me know..
