Just looking at converting to E85 is all thought I'd ask a few questions on the conversion

It's definitely worth making the switch. Too many easy gains from it not to and it's becoming more and more readily available

Gee where to start, Needless to say the last week has been pretty full on.

After many a delay I finally got the car back on Friday. After noticing the car was on the dyno at 10:30am on Friday I expected to get a call around 12:30pm-1pm stating that its done. It came to 3:30pm and I hadn't heard anything so I gave them a call. Apparently the car ran out of fuel on the dyno during tuning and they had to go get some more (I dropped it off with a full tank). I let them know it takes me 2 hours to get there so if they know when it will be ready i can start heading there earlier so they arent hanging around waiting for me all arfternoon. Finally got a call back at 5:30pm stating that its nearly finished and to head down.

They advised on the phone that it made 630rwhp on 29psi, however the head was lifting and they wanted to "dial it back" a bit to make it safe for powerplay.

Arrived there at about 7pm and got chatting about the car. Even though the car has ARP head studs it was still lifting. I thought "righto at that pressure I guess it needs looking at". Then came the "Dialed Back" numbers. They ended up bringing it all the way back to 451rwhp on 15psi. I still and even now am surprised they had to drop it back so much to make it run safely. Due to the time of night and a bit of disbelief on my behalf I didnt go into depth about the lifting issue etc.

By the time we got the car loaded onto my mates tow truck and got it back home & back into the shed it was 11pm. After finishing off other setup jobs for powerplay the next day I got to bed at 12:30am.

NOTE : I DO have dyno sheets for both the 630 runs and the 451 runs. I will scan and upload them hopefully tonight.

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
