Joeyjoejoe's E85 Tuning Adventutres

[180or200]

Lee (RB25DETS2) had the same problem with his hks actuator, we tried everything, more gain, more pre-load, just spiked more and more so we ditched it for a 18 psi and it holds perfect now.

Top stuff!

Glad to see more people on E85! Best decision i ever made switching over.

But i have to agree the fuel economy is terrible, at WOP i swear i can see the fuel needle move lol

[FineLine]

Totally damn frustrating. Car is ready to go back on the rollers but this fuel still isnt available to us up here and i cant get an answer as to when it will be.

This is Ipswich for gawd sake. Home of willowbank and qld raceway and more tuff streeters than you can poke a stick at.

The market is right here right now.

I'm thinking i might have to have a go with E85 as the servo is only a few km away and the 33 isnt a daily driver!! I was getting it tuned with the United 100 on monday but had to cancel. I wonder if its worth it.

[Smitizen]

yeah this e85 is GOOOD stuff...

and the best part is that i have the power of a 3037 with the response of a 2835.... cake and eat it and so on

Sometimes i wish i'd bought the 3037 instead of the GT-RS.

But then i go for a quick spin and forget about it pretty quickly.

[PM-R33]

You sure?

I've never heard of anyone making 280rwkw with a GT-RS on a 25...I thought it was past its capability, but hey, I'd love to be wrong

Blitz SBC Spec-R, 18psi but tailing off to about 16 (trying to find the problem)

Don't say that just yet, im gonna damn bloody try once this head gets here

Thizzle made 301 with a GT-RS and stock motor 3 or so years ago.

There is hope!

[dezz]

At the end of the day it's not all about peak power....250-260rwkw and punchy as f**k is a lot of fun

And he was/is the only one... i don't believe it was right personally as no-one has come close since

Just got word that theres a hipo workshop in brisbane selling it in 205 litre drums.

Only wants 460 dollars a drum.

lol

Don't ruin it for us GT-RS havers!

Yes I agree. But that little bit more is always nice though isn't it?

[PM-R33]

Yeah i swear he must have had a hidden shot of gas somewhere

Still, im keen to push mine as far as it can go. Should have every single thing done to it to help it make peak power other than a rebuild. Warlord's was probably the most a GT-RS has been pushed.

Noel can you use your persuasion powers, maybe talk to Neuman Petroleum at the next time attack?

Well I had for ages favoured the idea of going GT-RS but eventually went the GT3076R, interesting difference here is I have never looked back

How much did that unit set you back?

[Lithium]

Hmm I have had it for >2 years but if I remember rightly around NZ$2k at the time I purchased it. Runs an internal wastegate and is on stock manifold so all RELATIVELY straight forward/cheap to set up.

good result, but I would love to see a graph of what difference it made at the same boost. I know you're saying you couldn't run more boost with the 98RON, but it was only running 14psi at the top end with a spike to 21psi as it ramped onto boost. I would just want to see what gain the fuel itself made. same boost, but with more timing etc it can apparently take. as it is a lot of that gain would be from more boost (more air + more fuel = more power of course), and i'm a bit surprised that the most you could run was 14psi on 98RON.

anyway, enjoy the new power and sweet smelling, cheap fuel.
