Definitely more increases to be seen once you full run E85. I remember when i changed my car over. It went from 350rwhp on 24psi to 450rwhp on 21psi. 100rwhp gain with 3psi LESS boost!!

As you said its a total different car to drive with the other fuel in it...

Yes, but I doubt my car is going to deliver those same gains. My car loses power with more boost :/ the knock resistance of the fuel is just about at its fullest where I am, so it's only small benefits from here. I'm sure it will nudge over 400rwhp, but not expecting heaps more.

Seriously magical fuel though!

I doubt he would use 91

I think you mean the 100octance from united with 98 and 15% ethanol he is using pure E53

I believe United E85 is generally 91 octane unleaded blended with ethanol.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing though. The extra octane isn't necessary, and the lower octane will actually help the mixture to ignite. We are already talking about a 108 octane fuel here, so the octane rating of the petrol blended with it is inconsequential.

No worries mate. It really is amazing stuff. Can't wait to finish off this tank and change my fuel filter, see what crud has been cleaned out :D

Also, it makes the exhaust fumes smell delicious! :laugh:

Don't think I ever posted these photos:

Got over the old white leather trims that I put in when I first got the car. Realised it looked horrible, so got some new black ones. Retrimmed the steering wheel while I was at it.

Got some new bits and pieces for my GoPro, so had a bit of a play:

Aaaaand this is a compilation of clips I've taken since the tune:

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
