Nytsky's Engine Build

[NYTSKY]

Full time E85. Not flex fuel.

This thread and videos has inspired me to get a serious move on with my 500kw build lol.

I test every batch of fuel and United is always between E85 and E90. I did get an E93 once but these changes seem minor to the tune. If I used Caltex it would run a bit richer.

how do you test?

i've only ever seen E80 - E83 with my GM Ethanol content sensor.... never seen United E85 higher (did see E84 briefly once but settled after 30secs or so at E83)

Eflex for me when i used it was always bang on E70 - i made 15rwkw more on E85.

[NYTSKY]

Test with a test tube mixing E85 and water. Accurate within 2%.

Making use of the United servo up the road from my place. Paying $1.14L which isn't bad.

Back on the road again after a head gasket change and new gearbox. Engine feels stronger off boost so I think comp is slightly up a bit after the new gasket went in.

Went for a cruise on friday night with some of the boys and felt great

Back on the dyno in a couple of weeks to test out the new gasket with more boost, see where this turbo runs out of puff.

[Dahtone Racing]

What gasket are you using now Dave?

[NYTSKY]

Tomei 1.2mm

Wow I've been beltng through this build in the last 2-3 days like a book you just can't put down. This story has it all, highs, lows, external gates

Seriously man what an awesome car you've built, hats off to you. Hands down the most insane GTST I have ever seen, I love it. For god's sake just make sure that now you just concentrate on getting your money's worth out of it by having fun driving it!

[NYTSKY]

Thanks Nick! Driving it is always fun. Definitely need to do more of it

Maybe you can take me for a run without breaking it this time AND maybe ill try do the same lolz

[NYTSKY]

So....what was that about getting my monies worth?? First drive in 6 months and I get 2mins down the road lol

[Piggaz]

Oh no. What did they do you for? I hope they didn't smmash you too badly, but with that huge mofo hanging off the hotside of the engine..... hmm haha

This is why they shouldn't be driven on long weekends. They're everywhere.

[Roy]

Please tell me it was a case of "cool car...keep it in your pants and be on your way"

[levinboy]

The problem is I'm 100% sure Dave wasn't doing anything stupid or hooning if you will

The fact it's an import is the only reason

The amount of smoke billowing bald tyre no brake light cars out there on the road that don't get stopped is frankly dangerous

Dave next eastern creek track day you should come an unleash the beast

[NYTSKY]

I told him my car would produce less emissions than his patrol car Thing is most coppers have no idea what they are looking at, so they just issue you with a DECC notice.

Could have been 100 times worse though. I got off fairly lightly considering he flat out laughed at me when I popped the bonnet lol

[34GeeTeeTee]

Haha well hopefully you get it sorted soon and steer clear of them... Could have been worse but it's pretty clean and tidy

[NYTSKY]

I just have the worst luck, this IS the reason I cant drive the bloody thing.

[FineLine]

an older head will serve you better dave. There are times I just dont drive the chair for this very reason.

Mind you putting around in my tweed hat raises their eyebrows a bit. I have had them do a ubolt to hunt me down then just shake their head and drive off when they see the old foge in the tweed cap driving.

The walking stick is my second line of defence, if the cap doesnt swing it the cane usually does.

Growing old isnt all shit and shrapnel.

[NYTSKY]

You make tweed hats look good Noel

Ill get there one day!
