as above you'll run out of flow from your pump before your injectors, if you dont mind pushing the fuel system i'd guess 320-330 rwkw would be expected at about 22 psi, anymore would be a bonus!

fark.. i guess another 044 is instore!

not real sure what the knock levels are as i dont have a hand controller on my power fc. if adrian has time tomorrow we will put the wide band on and check AFRs and knock. i really cant see it being a problem though.

Caltex said they were going to make E70-E85 on a seasonal basis. so E70 in the colder months and E85 in the warmer.

Anyone else see on the news the new VE SS on E85 they had on there?

Going to be the first Australian production car that is built to run on the stuff.

Might mean that there will be more places for it poping up around the place if they're acutally building cars to run souly on E85.

Nah I think they said it wont be ready for awhile. Probably heaps more trial and error to look at.

But what I'm saying is, if they are going to acutally start building production car's meant just for E85, surely they will have more available at the local pumps with in a year.

Hey pal I think your being a tosser, if you had read any threads related to E85 on SAU you would realise I'm one of the biggest champion's for the fuel, I love the stuff!

That comment was a dig at the person who started a new thread for a topic that has plenty of open one's and a shit stir to the guys who have already had there car's tuned by me to run E85!!!

regardless I like your passion to the subject.

your cool adrian :) man how cool are you? yeah i have read the threads but there all old.. over a year or so and in the threads apparently it was shut down in the state. so in my question you intelligent person i was asking availability and feedback because its an option. your cool

yeah. its good for the environment and reduces our dependancy on fossil fuels which is awesome. we just need to make sure we mandate that all ethanol gets made out of biowaste, rather than purposely grown produce - we need that for actually feeding people still....

smells kinda weird too but i suppose we'd get used to it in time... the extra consumption is a bit of a downer (get bigger fuel tank) as is the supposed wear and tear on certain components (i know nothing about this) but the extra power gain is pretty nice

will be interesting to see how it pans out - the fact theres more power will appeal to the bogan set quite a lot (esp with the supercars running on e85) so I'd expect holden would actually get many more orders on the e85 ss than normal

that said, what is the price for a liter of e85? I've never seen it around so I'm not sure what a comparative price to 98RON is

-D

I haven't seen any or maybe I just haven't been looking but on the news they said it was ruffly 20-22 cents cheaper then normal fuel which I'm guessing they were talking about 91RON

But also said that it uses ruffly 25-40% more in consumption (another guess, but might be what you drive and how you drive it to what the consumption rate is). So whatever you may save at the pump when you fill up at first it'll cost just the same (maybe more) in the long run.

But in a years time, who know's might be better or they might have sorted something. We can only wait and see.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
