Guilt-toy Now Running On E85 !

[scotty nm35]

I tried to fill up at Caltex in Footscray but only got 16L in before it cut out. I put another 4 and it cut out again GRRRRRR. Thinking about going back to 98

A dodgy servo pump is enough to push you back onto 98? You had better not go to Springvale then.

I heard CSR had over 1 million litres stockpiled less than a year ago, I doubt they went through it that quick. Caltex would have a contract to supply Eflex so I doubt they will let it run out, surely they will just order it from overseas if Australian suppliers run out.

It took 25 mins to get 20 litres in.....I cracked it and drove home a little harder than normal and it was half gone!! Availability is starting to give me the shits

Back to 98 today

^ ECU?

haven't had issues with springvale or glen waverley lately

[Bond]

Just a Dr Drift remap. I kept the old chip so it was a simple swap. I would use half a tank just getting to Springvale!

[SS8_Gohan]

what would you get to a full tank? on my GTT with a Nistune (same thing, remap) i could get low 300's, like 320km around town with a tank of E85, and that's real E85 as well (southland) i suspect E-flex would have yielded a slightly better result with more petrol content.

my GTR isn't a good comparo at the moment as we need to replace the O2 sensor, but no reason with a remap you couldn't get 300km to a tank for an rb25

actually, which engine?

Gotta love United E85

Gotta love United E85

don't you mean United E95?

[Bond]

I was only getting around 280km to a tank but that was driven hard. I only ever got it tuned once and it was meant to go back to fix a few minor issues up

[BMYHOE]

quick question,

is the Bosch 044 external pumps ok to use with e85?

experiance anyone?

[O2 Autosports]

yeah, no probs.

[SS8_Gohan]

springvale caltex running at E64 at the moment, i reckon has been a bit lower on our first tune as well.

will try and get an update to see if any difference with Glen Waverley

Yeah Im using one with it at the moment and so far no moment. Bosch don't recomend using them with ethanol since they haven't tested it with them but heaps of people run them and don't have any problems.

Good news everyone!! "dr farnsworth voice"

The V8 SUPERCARS teams left a whole lot of barrels of E85 at Yas Island circuit, my boss works there and he snapped them up for a good price!

Bring on e85 tuning again! hahahaa its been more then 2 years since ive played with the stuff, good to know the old thread is still churning away! might come in handy!

Does the fuel go off in barrels quickly? the race was in January.

[scotty nm35]

As long as they were sealed it should be fine.

No issues with fuel going off at all and mine was stored a lot longer than that

[Guilt-Toy]

nice!

[Zackery]

damn, all i can say is Grats on the tune mate,

and i get headaches from the smell of petrol, so if anything i'll be looking into E85 just for my brains sake! Mmm cooking oil..

Will be looking into E85 now.

Cheers dude
