900nm, nice.. my car was making around 1080nm to 1180nm but it never had a aggresive tune, 500cc don't make too much difference.

If you look closely enough it reads 1107 and 1051 nm's :down: ........If you had of asked me 12 months ago i would of been all for a 3ltr but now 2.5ltr is plenty for the street on E85 imo.

standard internals? 23psi??

what's with people running massive boost on un-opened engines?? i think hamish is like 23psi as well on his 33?? :down:

Yes and Yes

At the end of the day if the engine says enough is enough well then its time to reach in the back pocket for a full house rebuild, but until then if it aint broke.......

+1, that's the theory that i'm running on too.... but if mine pops i'll be thinking very seriously about an ls2 conversion.....

fwiw i'm running 19psi with a 21psi spike :)

if E85 has 70% less emissions, etc... could you run a big flowing cat, that doesn't pass EPA, but claim it would be fine given the fuel being used?

i'm thinking wishful thinking... but also think that if it's tested, you'd still be good?

Yes frying 4th at 160klm's.

He wasn't using the water injection in that 503hp dyno run.....insanely enough there is more power to come.

So he's found and extra 50 odd rwhp from the bigger ex housing, 1 psi more boost, upgraded fuel system, M&W CDI and retune.

He also mentioned EGT's were way down with the larger ex housing - as you would expect.

PJ's car just ran a 10.4 at 136mph with the 3037 on E85....which I understand is possibly a record for an s13 on radials.

Went for another cruise the other night. And even with a blown turbo gasket PJ still manages to bake the treads in 3rd :P

Also my car has just come off the dyno with a nice 363rwkw(490hp)@23psi makes 706ft/lbs :D

GO THE 3037s!

Excellent power and torque - would be a responsive rocket no doubt....you got it to hold boost....what was the secret....boost controller?

Good to see your finally making some decent power Dave. :P

E85 no longer being available in adelaide I'm jumping to the GT35r with a hks cast manifold and ext gate, with cams etc I'm hoping for a solid 350rwkw on pump. Aim low be happy when I make more :)

We are now trying to source ethanol in the sphincter of the universe & Georgia in Eastern Europe.

I have a rally car in Georgia who wants to run the stuff and the drifters in the sphincter of the universe are keen also. Will keep you guys updated

Looks like it will only be available in 100%. so it will be e100 so I will be able to mix it with 98 octane depending on the car / combo.

Has anyone had issues with a tank of E85 forming vapour and running badly after being left for a day or more? I spoke to my mechanic about using e85/98 blend and he said what one of his customers tried (some 'ET' stuff in 20L drums) had consistency issues. The car was filled up with it, tuned, left on the dyno overnight and the tune was way off the next morning.

Anyone else have issues similar to this?

Haha finally fixing it tomorrow then it's time for a full cage. Damn I'm kicking myself hearing about all these mad cruises that I'm missing out on!

Hungry for power yet Dave or what? If mine is all over the shop, I couldn't imagine how yours would be with the 6 bangers torque!

Pulled the head off to remove the blocked rear oil restrictor and shove 2 x 1.2's in there. IMO one 1.5mm up front for a hydraulic head isn't too good for the fat left exhaust side of the head)

The car hasn't done too many km's on E85 as its not street driven but a few things I've noticed.

1. Any carbon sitting on the pistons has basically dissapeared. What is left isn't hard and crispy like it usually is but soft and gooey.

2. There's slight surface rust on the turbine outlet and inside the exhaust manifold. Not so much a complete cover but tinny little dots of really light rust.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
