Guilt-toy Now Running On E85 !

[Swiper the Fox]

Can one of you guys tell me what compression ratio would be ideal for a dual setup.

i have mahle's 8.5:1 going in at the moment. obviously i cant drop too much valves and the likes will hit? (i have no idea)

8.7:1 will live happily on both although the closer you can get to 9 without pistons and valves shaking hands the better for E85.

Power fc is for panzys!

Power fc's are still good.. they are just for Noobs who don't know or don't care to know any better.

I think a 9.5 compression ratio would be good for a dual setup. use 98 for street stuff then take e85 to the track.

Vipec are very good from what i have read, its many years the PFC junior which is alot in technolgy terms. Would be dissapointing if it wasnt a decent leap forward. That being said i'm more than happy with my pfc and dont see the point in spending the extra coin in upgrading.

Fair enough. I just set the closed loop lambda settings to be a bit more agressive with e85... wonder how this will work

Sell your Power FC while its still worth something.

I just had a conversation with a guy who has a Power FC, brand new Z32's and a E boost2.

sell Power FC and H/C = $1000 Z32's = $500 EBoost 2 = $500

thats $2000 - $1650 for Vi-PEC = $350 towards tuning. Guilt-Toy tune = $600 so he can get a better ecu and a better tune for $250...money well spent.

People spend $1000+ on cams that do nothing on some engines so $250 is peanuts.

Yeah I have to admit, after last night, I was pretty damn impressed! Anthony was a little pissed, it seems all I was there for in the end was to punish his clutch and thrash his car

All I need is some ricey read out display that doesn't require a car PC and I'm hooked

*plays the waiting game*

we are working on it...should be ready next month (feb)

[TiTAN]

Anthony, you should think about setting up a toggle switch so you can switch betwen fuel and ignition maps to suit. so its just a flick of the switch and you are on either E85 or 98.

i volunteer Paul to wire it up to DI5 or DI6 for you

i can wire it up.. I am more interested in a anti-lag switch on or off & a boost controll switch, 20psi 30psi...

why would anyone want to switch to low boost?

[TiTAN]

i could have done the switches while you were down here if you wanted.

Or keep it as its only 10 months old and i'm very happy with it...I'm making 330ish rwkw now on E85 with a PFC what more could you ask for, not much in my opinion.

[Guilt-Toy]

oi Mr Dirt.. This is the E85 thread.. as much as i agree with you on the subject this thread is linked on heaps of forums world wide and i am sure they don't want to see our ECU Tuner wars battles

[T04GTR]

autronic ftw

ps.. hows that anti lag working? does it work?

[Guilt-Toy]

anti lag works good, i don't use it on the street though. i just have cycle idle on because when i use the air con the water temps go up to around 100deg, when i turn cycle idle on it cools it down and runs at about 94ish in traffic.

[MBS206]

GT: Why are you getting such high temps in traffic with air con on?

Limping along slowly with air con on, the standard cooling system should be more then capable of containing the water temps... Is your hydraulic fan on the way out or something?

I know you have everything like air con condensor/FMIC etc in the way of the radiator, have you thought about setting up a "divider" to make sure the air that comes in the front bar HAS to go through the FMIC, radiator, etc?

[GTR1993]

guilt, what voltage input does the vipec use for wide band input?

[TiTAN]

AN volt 1-6 any of which can be used as an input for the widebands 0-5v output.

my setup needs some attention. I am running the stock mspec front bar and have not chopped out the reo bar because i like my car to be legal.

The oil cooler is mounted on the front of the air con condensor, so its heating up there, i added a air con thermo fan and have replaced the clutch in the engine fan.

Its just that the radiator cannot get enough air from the front. its a Mspec radiator as well.. I need to move the oil cooler and install another thermo fan i think.

[DRD-00F]

yeah it does run a bit hot, like I said, your idle temp is about the highest my temp will read... but like I also said, our cars are a lot different and I don't have as much shit going on in the engine bay as you do

But I do have better airflow with the front bar and bonnet, and no oil cooler in the way wither...
