Just for something to do Lee and I ran our cars back to back to compare turbo's, both running E85 on std engines

HKS3037 with a .68 rear vs GT3582 with a .8 rear

same boost and ign maps

Yeah was a bit of fun comparing our cars altho I'm not really too surprised on the end KW difference.

What surprised me was the torque was very similar considering the different turbo sizes.

that little dip almost gave third gear a chance to get traction, since smoothing it out it feels crisper, comes on much harder, and gets messy real fast!!! :D

Thats the spirit dont want to hear anymore about turning down the boost either its spot on the way it is :D

Just rang the servo i usually get my E85 from here in SA. The guy told me the government is not allowing the sale of E85 at the bowser anywhere in Australia.

May pay to ring your supplier and double check.

yeah. a nice virgin one. and no you cannot try it out. its mine.

I am keen to do some drifting / track / hill climb work in the next 8 months

haha fair enough, will feel super responsive with the GT30!

Yep. Heard the same.

Apperently it was illegal to sell it in the first place.

F...en great :banana:

i just rang united hoppers crossing and they were about as helpful as a bag of sand.... as usual

BUT

they are still selling it there and have had no word form head office on the matter

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
