In regard to the more fuel argument, even if you do get more fuel in there, the cylinder's the same size so the exhaust gases would be the same volume (unless more volume of air was in there) or would it be less because you know have more fuel and less air?

I never was that good at understanding engines :blink:

If you put more of anything in the front, you get more out the back.

So, Can you run higher compression on E85? Would it yield more results?

Hypothetically, Say you were building and engine and you plan to run it on E85, a stabler fuel should allow for more compression, yielding more power. Especially down low, and off boost.

Of course, I've no idea what I'm talking about.

Furthermore, I guess there's no going back to 98pulp after you build a high comp engine. And on the track, most engines are on boost rather than off. So it's prolly not viable.

But is it possible?

Very possible - we intend on running more compression with the F6 we are building atm, aiming for around 850rwhp on E85.

i think its more of a reality then a posibility, just look at the compression ratio alcohol / methanol cars run.. over 11:1

yep for sure.. the higher effective octane rating of E85 means you can squander that advantage either

with higher boost at the top end, or much higher compression to gain more torque everywhere although

at higher compression I guess this would diminish the ultimate boost limit at the top.. where the headline

power figure is made.

Now what you really want is a variable compression ratio engine! that would be the best, especially

if you combine with variable cam timing.

compare the flexibility of a hawk's wing to the relatively fixed wing of a plane! smart variability should be the ultimate

goal of every machine..

Is that N/A or boosted tough.

E85 would be awesome if you were turbocharging a normally N/A car. No need to reduce compression.

ok so i have a rb25+t turbo conversion, with higher comp ratio,

what would i have to do to run this fuel, apart from a tune, bigger injectors?

the car already has the usual mods, bosch 023 pump, Fmic, full exhaust, and getting a remap soon,

thanks, sorry if it has been covered, but 20 pages is a lot of reading lol

put on decat today and run it up again

I cant believe the results mate, amazing!!!

340rwkw out of a .68 housing. Thats GT35R territory.

Cant wait to get mine on the road and tuned on this stuff.

Yeah still blows me away....You wont be dissapointed thats for sure

who's up for running E85 for power cruise ? where is the nearest outlet? I was thinkin bout pushing my beast to 400rwkw for power cruise and with standard rb25 cams im going to need to be running e85...

Anthony,

There are two Enhance service stations that sell e85 that are about 15 mins from WSID: Coner of Rawson and Ferndell, South Granville, and Hume Highway, Carramar (south side, just west of Meccano lights).

thanks charlie..

was good meeting you yesterday, thanks for saying hello!

I am if i can get my engine run in properly before hand.

I have 2x 20L drums that will be filled with E85 that i will be taking just incase.

im keen...need to add a 2nd set of injectors though...and maybe another fuel pump.

/nods

okay.. im going to do the switch back to e85 on the second week of feb.. i went to the united servo in newcastle and asked them about e85, the guy had no idea what i was on about and gave me the nsw area managers number.

Im going to be ringing him up and hassling him :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
