There has been no fuel variation to speak of since e85 was introduced, as long as you run the same brand and fatten the fuel map a little it will run fine.

I predict 300kw with crazy response. :)

Well i plan to use caltex eflex which is closer to E70 i believe as i have several of them not far from my place. Yes the main goal of the car is heaps of response, mid-range power is the main concern :D

Also guys i know this is probably crap but wtf is this? must be magical like an ebay chip :D

Bloody hell i'd be happy with anything around 270-280kw as i'll get bigger huffers on it one day to make more, but E85 seems to be the way to go if you want the best out of it. While i'm here, anyone used rochester injectors? fair few supra's run em for E85 and they are fairly cheap but will need a custom rail + plugs for my setup.

saw these the other day as well, wondering how safe they would be.. keen to throw something like it in the honda though I've been advised it could run lean

Most ecu's will learn quite well considering, especially the newer ones. Of course it's always better to run an EMU or similar but in an NA engine it won't do any harm. Latency shouldn't be an issue with the newer design injectors imo. Do it Artz and prove me right. lol.

The other option is to run a new Walbro 416 or similar and bump up the pressure on the stock injectors.

ok looked into it a bit..cant easily run a reg cause its a non-return fuel system..I Know the honda ecu is pretty tricky, runs dual widebands and has lot of self learning features whether or not this will work in my favour or against im not sure...Apparently they get upset when cats are removed :unsure:

the thread i read where a guy just filled up with e85, said it was running 18:1 afrs...oddly enough it lost power on dyno but was faster than other cars the same...

Returnless fuel systems still have a reg in the tank normally. The self learning should be fine if you keep everything stock.

If you were planning to gain power don't bother. (unless you strap a turbo to it or bump the compression up to 15:1)

I probably wont bother anyway but it keeps me ammused thinking about it..:D

A nice bonus today when I went to fill up at United, they have decided to lower the price of e85 to 25c less than unleaded. (from 10c less) I ended up paying 96c a litre, it hasn't been that cheap ever as far as I remember...

Apparently United buying the ethanol processing plant in Queensland has filtered down to us plebs at the pump for a nice discount. :)

Serious? :woot:

Oh wait, i shouldnt get that excited as there is still only Caltex around here.... E70 it is.... I REALLY hope the E85 comes down in price so the popularity goes up so more stations are available...

There are 4 United servo's in NSW now, hopefully more will follow as they are pumping the Melbourne rollout heavily. Dont look if you don't want to get upset. lol.

Damn!

What is the current E content of the United stuff? How does it compare to E-flex?

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
