I was having severe issues on the Manildra blend at anything under 15 degrees, now on Caltex it will start fairly easily, only a little cough and splutter but on the first crank or two. The issue is I cant give it a bit of pedal at startup with the stupid electronic throttle.

A.C.T dude...

Constant below zero mornings here in winter grrr

E70 would probably be needed then :)

I got back from Canada about a month ago, they all use electric oil warmers in winter on Petrol motors and Diesels pretty much don't start when it's really cold haha

Temperature ranged from -10 to -38deg :blink:

LOL. Interesting, our hire car in Utah didn't have problems starting when it was -12 one morning....

The Springvale pump does the same thing, just hang it up and start again. It seems to do it when they don't enable the pump quick enough.

I always use the pump closest to the shop/office. The other pump is screwed. I've tried hanging it up and starting but its still slow as hell...

Has anyone done any tests on smaller amounts of e85 mixed with PULP?

Say 10 litres of e85 with the rest pulp? I now a few guys have done E30 blends but have required retunes.

I was wondering if adding a smaller amount say the last 10 litres worth in a full tank be worth it or a waste of time. Could you get away with this small amount without having to have a retune done?

Cool. Might have to look into getting a retune.

I have highflowed 600cc injectors. If i were to get a retune to run straight E85 would these injector be maxed?

Find out from your tuner what duty cycle your injectors are running at, that will tell you. Or get a diagnostic cable and install nistune and find out for yourself.

I think you will be fine running straight E85 on 600cc injectors!! Joeyjoey was running 300rwkw on E85 with 550cc injectors. That seems to be one of outliers but still I cant see why 600cc injectors couldnt run 240-250rwkw on E85??

SR20 4 banger not a 6cyl RB.

jono/harey/trozzle. you guys are cracked. no way can you make that much with only 4, 600cc injectors. my 4 nismo 555cc injectors in my silvia are pretty much maxed at 240kw on PULP. you can get 250kw on 4X600cc on pulp but to do an E85 tune you're going to need 850s at a min. I'd go even bigger if you want to pull some decent power too.

Completely didn't think about the fact it's a 4 cyl :P

yer i highly doubt they'd be big enough for straight e85

im not on as much crack as the other 2.....

There's definitely an E85 shortage in Adelaide.

United have stopped selling it, Caltex is the only one selling it at the moment.

Hopefully the ethanol supply picks itself up after the floods in QLD

    • 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.
