Yeah been thinking about that too!

It seems to me the easier option straight up if you already have the supporting mods. Then if it's still not what you want, upgrade turbo and you're already on E85 :)

How much did it cost to convert to E85?

And do you know how much it costs to go a full flex-fuel setup? I assume you need a new ECU as well? Dont think Nistune will do it

alcohol is for drinking. oil is for driving.

f**k the enviroment yo.

^^ Pommy prick pretending to be a mullet eating bogan. Just because your dinosaur V8 goes backwards in power on ethanol. :P

With some decent comp and drilling the jets on your carby I could possibly get some more powers out of your clunker Paul...

If you have the overhead in your fuel system, it costs nothing... Forget the flex fuel for now, just get on it...

Probably not.

My fuel pump i got serviced about 3 years ago via Sabbadin Automotive. All it said on the invoice was a Hi Flow Walbro fuel pump. Don't even know what model it is

need to go a haltec/link/vipec etc if you want flex fuel. changing to that is quite a few $$$ as its sensor + two tunes + ecu, you would also want the ecu controling boost as you can run a heap more on E85 than 98.

$500 for the tune

My engine already had the supporting mods; I had planned for ethanol eventually a long time ago. Supporting mods = basically just a big enough fuel system. 555s and a 040 will do you safely up to 300rwkw.

Also, fk flex fuel. Just get tuned on United which is consistently E85 afaik. There's one in Clayton and one in Scoresby you can fill up at. Car runs beautifully; I don't even have a wide band.

With Flex fuel more so thinking on long trips and the ability to use any fuel you want

So say your driving on a long trip you got 1/4 fuel of e85 left. You fill up the rest with 98octane since there is no e85.

Load up the map for 98 octane

Is it still ok to drive with a mix of 98 and e85 or?

if you want NA power on e85 you need to go 12-14:1 compression, but then you can never go back to 98.

itd be interesting to see if my tuned for 98 ls1 would run on a 10% ethanol fuel... not that id try it... but itd be good to every now and again not have to spend so much on 98.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
