E85

[rad100]

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!

its rubbish, eats the shit outa everything, melts pistons, really stinks bad

Yep and you know this because u used it and all this happened.

hey luke does the car knock up at high revs, anymore than usual on the caltex e85? i think im gunna try it tomorrow and see how i go, they say on the site that its (up to) 85 % so it could be fun from week to week with what mix your going to get

[wasnt me]

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.

Buzz kill

Glad i got twin 044's, now i just need surge tank, fuel lines and tune. 20+psi sounds good

[Import S13]

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.

[Madaz]

and wont be ready for another year with the E85 i read somewhere

[Import S13]

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

[Import S13]

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.
