From RaceFuels its $2/Litre+freight.

I just cant see me paying that much for something that i pay 99c for now.

I do one trip a month to Rozelle and im getting 200L at a time.

Only have 40L left so i think ill be going back there in the next day or two.

Holden are going to release that E85 commonwhore later this year or early next year, so hopefully that means more E85 at the pump.

Went to the United at Rozelle today and got 100 odd litres. I asked the guy if E85 will still be for sale there in future.

He said "ofcoarse". He said its growing in popularity day by day.

e85 apparently comes out at the united servo on sandgate rd at virginia sometime in april :thumbsup:

I took the initiative tonight to fill up with e10 and go for a bit of a tune to give myself a bit of a feel for what's to come and I'm liking it

Can't wait to jump onto the e85 bandwagon next month!

There are reports of Walbro fuel pump failures around the globe. I read that Walbro doesn's support E85 use with their pumps as well. Have you guys seen/had problem with pumps?

I've maxed out my PE 1000cc injectors on a 3L RB with the E85. I've read mixed reports of spray pattern, mostly bad, with the Indy Blue 1600. I am not sure if it's entirely true or not but not too keen to try them out on a circuit car.

Has anyone try these big squirters?

What do you guys suggest for injector upgrade with good spray pattern to maintain good idle and midrange response?

I've had a tomei pump die running e85 also blocked a few filters, ended up useing a 044 intank, will soon be adding a couple more external 044's and a extra fuel line! what sort of power do 1000cc's support, what afr is it running? my 25 still runs side feed 850cc sard's and are maxed at 380 rwkw on willalls mainline, im pretty sure by the way the map suddenly maxes (crazy rich then snaps lean) out it's a flow issue not the injectors

Thanks for the info Adrian.

My car is still with my tuner so I've not receive any other info beside the fact that my injector duty cycle is at 100% on 24psi (about the same as your there). I have a feeder intank pump, 2x 044's, 2x dash 6 or dash 8 fuel lines and a Greddy fuel rail.

I have no clue what lambda or fuel pressure are at. I will be keen to find out next week.

I also intend to change the inline fuel filters to something with better flow.

What are you guys using for the E85?

No probs mate, I love the stuff, the more the word gets out the closer we are to getting it more available

I'm just useing genuine nissan filters, when i run the extra line ill just use 2 of them, will be trying a 300zx filter next since they are larger, see how that goes!

If they keep blocking ill change to a washable filter.

I've tried a few different afr's and .85 seems to be a good middle range, takes alot more fuel to get it to .80

the afr in the above graph was just a quick tune, havn't had time to fix it up yet, just stuck it on the dyno to compare it against my wideband

Got a call from my mate this weekend. He's been running E85 in his 180SX and intended to go for a drive back to the Riverland (SA) for the weekend. Went to get E85 from EFFUE at Mawson Lakes only to be told that they had none! If this keeps happening then E85 is not going to be a realistic option in SA. Very annoying.

Fortunately we still had the tune we did for 98 (he's running Z32 AFM + 740's) so I set him up with a multiple map board and now he can switch between the two. Not quite "flex-fuel" but at least it'll get him out of a bind. Gotta make sure he empties one fuel type before filling with the other that's all...

I called United Petroleum and spoke to the NSW Manager. He told me that Rozelle is the only place in Sydney that sells it and that there were no plans to sell it anywhere else in the next 6 months.

Besides United at Rozelle, are there any other places that sell it in Sydney or is only available through them?

This put me off as I cannot see myself going to Rozelle everytime I need to fill up, especially as it is a weekend car that barely gets driven. Perhaps I should get another 20 litre drum and stock up... I wouldn't mind an extra 20-30rwk!!!!

BTW guilt toy I saw you at WSID on Friday night - how did you go, did you run?

Yeah mate, should have come say hello.. Look here

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Gu...66#entry4504666

results there :) (was not running e85, i cannot get enough power with it with my 740cc injectors so i am back on pump gas)

Next time I will!

Well done on the time, that is awesome.

When you say cannot get enough power, do you mean the 740cc injectors wont let you make the power as they are too small? What power you making current set-up e85 vs 98 pump? Sorry if it is in the previous page, cant be arsed reading it all again!

meaning injectors have run out of puff....

so you gonna get bigger injectors yet ant? or still the smaller turbo?

yeah 740cc is not big enough to make 380kw at wheels on e85 like i could get with pump gas.

So yeah. i am not upgrading injectors. no way. but i will chuck on the smaller turbo later on and then go back to e85. anything over 350rwkw on the street is a waste anyway. i just want to run my 10 on pump first.

sweet... do you have enough balls in the rest of your fuel sys to handle 400 on e85?

would be nice to see you crack it if you ever decide to upgrade injectors.... i mean there's gotta be someone you could swap with for a small cash advancement....

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
