E85 At The Pump Yet?

[zebra]

Anyone heard whether the Corn Booze is at the pump yet? Was due at 2 servos this month, one in Kambah and the other northside somewhere.

I've not been past Kambah to have a looky, but Pat checked out Nicholls (northside servo) not long ago, and they said there was an engineer out there checking out the pumps to make sure it'll be all good.

according to trojan (i havn't been out there again yet) the pump at nicholls is on.

and trojan also sell the good stuff now too. But I'll stick to the pump juice

How much are they asking for the good Stuff?

[natett]

last i heard Kambah was ready a week or so ago but they were waiting for all the signage etc

stick with CSR corn juice so you can gaurentee its E85 and not E70 in the colder months like it is at service stations

$1/L for e-something outta the pump or $2+/l for it in a drum

[Trozzle]

e-something, wideband, 2 ethanol maps. maybe even 3.

Just dont run the ragged edge, same with 98 really.

[Trozzle]

Exactly. Haven't plenty of people including Trent (STATUS) mentioned you won't gain any more power past a certain point of ign timing on an E85 mix anyway? If you're running it in a street car, particularly a daily like mine, conservative tuning is the way to go. Go close to the edge with 98 mix, then back off the timing (particularly up top) and add a touch of fuel. Would rather feel the torque from E85 than see what kind of top end figure I can pull.

[Randon_I_Am]

Yup.

Not sure about the price from trojan, didn't bother asking because i knew i ain't gonna get it...

[natett]

ill have to check a few things about it problem with my setup (apart from the need for additional pumps) is my 1000cc wont cut it lol would be fun to have a gt42 on street tuned 30psi though haha not sure if the motor will last too long though haha

[Trozzle]

hahaha, well 20psi through a stock internal RB25 will be all we'll see lol...so my 740cc will be fine

[Randon_I_Am]

550s
