I was having severe issues on the Manildra blend at anything under 15 degrees, now on Caltex it will start fairly easily, only a little cough and splutter but on the first crank or two. The issue is I cant give it a bit of pedal at startup with the stupid electronic throttle.

A.C.T dude...

Constant below zero mornings here in winter grrr

E70 would probably be needed then :)

I got back from Canada about a month ago, they all use electric oil warmers in winter on Petrol motors and Diesels pretty much don't start when it's really cold haha

Temperature ranged from -10 to -38deg :blink:

LOL. Interesting, our hire car in Utah didn't have problems starting when it was -12 one morning....

The Springvale pump does the same thing, just hang it up and start again. It seems to do it when they don't enable the pump quick enough.

I always use the pump closest to the shop/office. The other pump is screwed. I've tried hanging it up and starting but its still slow as hell...

Has anyone done any tests on smaller amounts of e85 mixed with PULP?

Say 10 litres of e85 with the rest pulp? I now a few guys have done E30 blends but have required retunes.

I was wondering if adding a smaller amount say the last 10 litres worth in a full tank be worth it or a waste of time. Could you get away with this small amount without having to have a retune done?

Cool. Might have to look into getting a retune.

I have highflowed 600cc injectors. If i were to get a retune to run straight E85 would these injector be maxed?

Find out from your tuner what duty cycle your injectors are running at, that will tell you. Or get a diagnostic cable and install nistune and find out for yourself.

I think you will be fine running straight E85 on 600cc injectors!! Joeyjoey was running 300rwkw on E85 with 550cc injectors. That seems to be one of outliers but still I cant see why 600cc injectors couldnt run 240-250rwkw on E85??

SR20 4 banger not a 6cyl RB.

jono/harey/trozzle. you guys are cracked. no way can you make that much with only 4, 600cc injectors. my 4 nismo 555cc injectors in my silvia are pretty much maxed at 240kw on PULP. you can get 250kw on 4X600cc on pulp but to do an E85 tune you're going to need 850s at a min. I'd go even bigger if you want to pull some decent power too.

Completely didn't think about the fact it's a 4 cyl :P

yer i highly doubt they'd be big enough for straight e85

im not on as much crack as the other 2.....

There's definitely an E85 shortage in Adelaide.

United have stopped selling it, Caltex is the only one selling it at the moment.

Hopefully the ethanol supply picks itself up after the floods in QLD

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
