[domino_z]

came across this great comparo of ethanol vs petrol

my local united is now stocking e85, so ill be keen to compare the ethanol content of united vs caltex with my zeitronix

Your sensor should show around 85% - 88% Domino

[SS8_Gohan]

my sensor was reading E80 but there was still maybe 10-15litres of E70 Eflex in there - so it looks just like the old United E85 ie generally on the higher side of E85, like Martin said.

all the eflex should be out of the system now, so i'll fill again with United and see where it's at. Let you guys know

interestingly though, for the last 5-6 months, Caltex has been bang on E70, never moved when i checked. I wonder why United doesn't control the % as much?

onto second tank and averaging low 80s with united

onto second full tank now, sensor flicking between E84 and E85, sensor was reading E83 on the way to the station - looks like it's not varying wildly like last time united was around

[domino_z]

yep united e85 is the way to go - which store are you getting yours from daniel?

couple more updates. swapped my bootlid over to one with a third brake light, and had it ordered with a matte finish which i left unpainted on the under side

if anyone is interested in my old bootlid, shoot me a pm

also got my top racing dry cf mirrors back after getting painted - need to work out how to pop the glass out so i can unscrew the motor

[SS8_Gohan]

love the bootlid, the subtle spoiler kick is really nice - i wanted to do something like that for my old GT-T but never got around to finishing it.

thought about leaving the mirrors dry cf to show off the quality?

I got my United from what i think is technically Braeside, not sure if that's how it's listed on their website, but i think that's the suburb. Near boundary rd/lower dandy rd intersection. It's closer than my closest Eflex too (springvale) so it works out well. Now if Fueltown just got back up and running, i'd only have one a few mins away

[domino_z]

local to me was brunswick living in the cbd, but they've scraped it now

i have to drive out to balwyn, which is around 8km, not too bad, gets me out of the house on a boring week night. But i also have caltex in hawthorn and footscray which is a bit closer

re mirrors, i prefer subtle exposed matte cf. not painting the insides is a nice detail when using the mirrors from inside the car

guys united is going all out and ramping up the servo's now offering e85 in melb

united kingsway (next to merc) is the latest, perfect for me living in the cbd

think it's time for me to take the next step

not really interested in a drag car so ruling out big turbos. what ideally im after is stock turbo like spool below 3000rpm for the daily drive duties, and abiltity to carry more boost towards redline for better in-gear acceleration

starting to do my research now on engine internals and turbos, though willall's spec v style porting seems to be the way to go - anyone here done the willall turbo mod?

this is a great video showing difference bw pump fuel vs e85 benchmarked against a zr1

Roll racing....lol racing?

That Viper has around 250rwkw by the looks....677rwp - nope

[Nee-san]

I'm sure it read 677 on a mustang dyno.

[Snowman]

domino - did you ever get around to looking at upgraded turbo's?

I'm curious to know from your investigations if running this upgrade on E85 can still get away with 1000cc injectors?

We are supposed to tune my car later this week on E85 for the first time but I only have ID1000's and am not sure with the extra supporting mods if they will be big enough now.

[domino_z]

Martin would best advise whether my injectors are currently max'd (or close to it) on stock turbos - i doubt it though, keep in mind HKS went all the way to 800+hp with their 860cc injectors

I'm still on the fence with turbos - problem i'm having atm is traction, and i can't use all the power i have on my 21" street tyres. 2nd gear is pretty much useless in this cold weather, and 3rd through midrange will cause the car to snap out well past triple digits. I'm considering swapping out my yoko advans for ps2's but i really dont think that will help much

I'm convinced on the benefits of SD tuning vs MAF, so will be having Martin tune for SD at the least

Edited June 19, 2012 by domino_z

[Snowman]

Yeah we are also switching to SD. I tried the upgraded AMS AFM's and they were an epic fail so will go with SD tuning moving forwards.

And I guess we'll just have to try the ID1000's and see.

[domino_z]

you'll need pumps too, but im sure you've already upgraded those

is racepace looking after your car in Vic? i may be confusing with another member, but is yours the jdm black gtr with spec v turbos?

Edited June 19, 2012 by domino_z

[Snowman]

Yeah Racepace are doing the car and yes its the black JDM with Spec V turbo's, pumps, cooler, pipes etc.

The car was making 440awkws on 98 with a MAF tune (stock MAF's maxed out in places with-in the tune range but the AMS ones caused a massive back-fire on lift-off and unfortunately I had the crash at Mt Baw Baw rally before we've had a chance to look at it again. Only got the car back last week).

So quite interested to see how it goes on E85 + SD this week. Going to PI this weekend for the real test.

Hey Snowy,

I have an SD tune in mine at the moment with the 3inch intakes and am getting a huge backfire on acceleration on 98 as well. Going back to the MAF tune until I can get the MAF delete loom here. Then back to the SD tune and see what happens.

[Marko R1]

Great comparison on e85 vs pump 98 burning.

The zr1 has close to 700bhp right?
