Fuel Consumption In A N/a Skyline

[brat81]

Wow way to get shot down for asking a f**king question

Maybe some could explain WHY it's such a bad idea to run this fuel, it's cheap as hell i'm sure people are tempted to use it

Its 85% ethanol and if you don't have the right parts it is highly corrosive and will damage everything the fuel touches. If you have all the right parts plus tune to suit, it can be beneficial

I don't know the running cost here, but lets assume it's around the $800 mark for injectors.

Then say around $400 for a nistune, is it?

there's $1200 to make ... 10kw?

do you mean E10?

my guess is yes

ok, i'll give you a somewhat more in depth answer, albeit in point form

- ethanol has a different stoichmetric value (the ideal air/fuel ratio) so you need to run a much richer AFR

- ethanol makes a smaller bang because it burns colder so without a tune you will make much less power

- once the tuned is richened up then you will make similar power

- corrosive properties as mention, however not as bad as some people make out.

- fuel economy is much worse than regular fuel (as mentioned, you need to run it much richer) to the tune of about 30% which negates the lower price

Thanks for the info

try running acetone.. its good too

jjman could you please give me a link to business traders on here for o2 sensor would be great

im not going to do the search for you but they are pretty easy to find in the business traders section.

Just go into that section and then in the search window type in O2.

If you are going to run e85, might as well up the compression to something like 11:1 and a tune *or* de+t with a tune for e85.

OI, this topic has been done to death, so in the fu***ken future you the bloody "search function". If you dont know where its located its: at the top right-hand corner of your screen. cheers mate
