Ok, got some 750cc injectors on the way for my E85/BP98 50/50 mix...

I have two choices of E85 over here in WA... Either Powerplus for $650 or CSR for $550

My question is which one? Is the Powerplus really worth the premium?

I got the same prices for these 2 this week Simon, im probably going to go for the CSR as the tuner im using suggested to get it from rpw and as far as i know thats where he gets it from.

whos tuning yours?

Sean from Allstar... I assume that you're getting yours done at Hyperdrive?!?

I paid $150 for a drum of CSR. :ermm:

Thanks Birds.

So when's caltex releasing this shit do we have a date? I can't find any specific dates

I was told, "The end of the month" by 2 servos I rang but Caltex thought they were already operating. I guess we will find out next week...

Nope sean aswell.

just got my 1450cc injectors delivered, so a quick run over the pits, strip the pit crap off and then all thats left is for sean to work magic on my 26/t04z/e85/26psi.

will let ya know how i go.

I see your 1450cc and raise you ID2000s :)

NOTE: My Rochester 1000s are for sale if anyone is interested. $500 Delivered FIRM.

Well, the Caltex pumps seem to be up and running, they wouldn't tell me the price over the phone, can anyone near the Clayton road servo call past and check the price?

I will try and call in for a fill and let you know how it runs, and if the wideband likes it. :)

yeah i saw a scrolling thing on Sky news yday morning saying holden has relased their flex-fuel cars - surprise surprise nothing on the holden website, but it seems to be official so assumed the Caltex stations were up and running.

definitely let us know how you go :)

i do have something to ask the people of this thread, something that a potential buyer of my car has asked.

He wanted to know that if the car was on the E85 map, and for whatever reason you couldn't change it (laptop died, USB consult cable not working, etc) would you be able to drive it on 98 etc?

I thought it might be ok if you took it VERY easy as there would be a lot more fuel yeah? but also more timing? i thought maybe with the extra fuel in the tune it MIGHT make it safe to drive very sedately despite the extra timing.

thoughts?

It would run like crap with black smoke billowing from the exhaust, much like all the other skylines I see. :)

Thats why I like the Emanage Ultimate's dip switches for changing maps. A switch would be perfect.

    • 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.
