yer but no one inspects every single batch on a regular basis. bp98 is considered the best here but even so i've had one batch that needed 7 degrees of timing taken out across the board under load to stop it pinging badly, unless every batch before that was 105+ theres no way that tank was 98. not a once off either, its happened a few times, just not always that bad.

Marko, I hate to be picky, but I will... you also did the same thing in your opening post. :D. Must be an inherent anomaly with the Blackberry. I'd get it checked. :nyaanyaa:

PS, withheld would be a better word :D

PSS, I am keen to try E85 when I finally get my car finished.

u must be a journalist haha, u ballbreaker u :)

The only logic in not running E85 Marko is the range. Engine safety from the point of view of detonation/knock is better on E70/85, and the minor variance in AFR is minor. You may well be more likely to detonate your engine on a bad batch of 98. Your tuner is being left behind....

Does the legal requirement for 98 dictate at the bowser though? It'd be near impossible to guarantee that after all the contamination between refinery and the pump. All it would take is that fuel sitting for long enough in the servo tanks to drop in octane.

Yeah at the bowser, companies cannot market it as 98 if it's not.

If they get found out there are ramifications. But realistically it's not that well policed... Can't go around checking up on the people that make the Gov't loads of money now can we?

The joy of typing on blackberry with a mini screen, I left out "not to be"

Stevo - that's the other reason e85 is not for me as I also like to take long drives and will become stranded on e85

You can have 2 fuel maps with the Vipec, use one of the digital inputs with a switch to change between an e85 and pump fuel tune.

i was unaware of that - i still have a lot to learn about the vipec capabilities (still thinking of my dinosaur pfc)

So, changed your mind yet, Marko?

Atm I'm smashed, drinking all day and had a 15kg pig on the spit so my mind is clear...I'll stick with 98 pump and my 700cc injectors and leave it with my tuner (crd). So how my pierburg fuel pump runs as they support 500awkw without a problem

I was getting prices of $500 just for the ethanol content sensor a while back, have the prices come down?

Or you could save yourself the hassle and buy the V500 Ecu instead. It's pretty much the same price as the vipec/haltech/Autronic etc but does so much more. That's the beauty of running multi-controllers.

Then you don't need the E85 sensor, you just need a wideband o2 which are approx $125-$150

Could you tell more about this ecu and how it works with the wideband please?

This was already explained by Hyped6 about a page back. You use lambda as a reference input into the ecu and have it add fuel if it sees leaner mixtures above a certain rpm/boost level etc.

You can put tables over tables over tables to achieve virtually any result you can think of

what if the wideband packs it in?

What if the E85 sensor packs it in?

What if a massive comet comes from outer space and crashes into earth?

As long as you change the sensor out every 100,000k or 50k if you are paranoid, then you will be fine. You could also argue about the e85 sensor and changing it out, but at $500 a pop?, hmm.

What sort of switch can you use for this?

I'm running an Emanage Ultimate setup with E85 and LPG tunes. Right now I need to flick the dip switches each time I switch fuel.

I'd love to run a switch to the driver's side so I can switch tune on the fly. The Emanage has two "Options" input...

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
