Bosch 1000's, you should be able to get them for around the same price, why would you go for anything else these days for less than 500kw.

Cheers mate, bosch 1000's are even cheaper than rochester 1000's. Only problem is i'll need to change the fuel rail to fit either, i found a set that will fit into the stock rail made by deatschwerks but they are a good $115 a piece. Weighing up whether its worth going for Bosch 1000's and a new rail or go the deatschswerks. Personally i think if i'm going to up the ante later on down the track it'd be worthwhile going for a new rail, eh?

Damn!

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

I have no idea, as long as the wideband shows less than 12:1 im happy, if it ever got leaner than that I would be adding a little 98 and getting another tune but I haven't seen much variation on the wideband in 3 years to worry about it at all.

^^tis e85

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.

there everywhere here now, cant believe those 2 shell servos just before the Westgate bridge are now Uniteds..

When you have waited 3 years for a local servo like I have, its hard to not be excited. Sorry, I will try to contain myself. :)

If its any consolation it took me 5 minutes to start my car today, I almost threw in the towel and got the aerostart. Gotta get the tune done, these cold starts are killing me. (or at least have the laptop out for a fiddle)

About 5 kw

Haha I'd be excited too.... But my result on E70 was crazy enough... E85 wouldn't make any more on mine i reckon as its maxed the exhaust and turbo combo.... So its probably one of those results that would vary, but at the end of the day if it's 5kw over 300 then it's bugger all ;)

Perhaps, but those 5 here and 5 there can add up to a lot of extra power once all the restrictions are taken care of.

It would give you a gain, mine was well maxed and I squeezed another 6 out of it. Mainly changed as its local to me.

Unfortunately Caltex seem to have stalled with their e85 rollout, much to Holden's disgust i'm sure. They got burned hard on the contract to supply it when the ethanol dried up last year, so I understand their unwillingness to install more pumps until demand has risen. (or until their waste ethanol plant is up and running) United on the other hand are set on cornering the market by the looks of it, a good position to be in as petrol gets more expensive.

Anyone care to guess what will happen to petrol prices in the carbon trading economy? The government would be stupid to stifle e85's take up by taxing their greenest fuel option to date but who knows...

Nothing would suprise me at the moment.... None of the governments seam to give two shits about ethanol fuel, especially over here where it's still illegal because they haven't got around to ammending the old laws.

STFU eastern pricks and your ethanol!

  • 2 weeks later...

yeah, the united on Davey street has it too though I dare say Baxter has newer/cleaner tanks...

So what sort of mileage did you get on your PI trip last week..did you have to use jerrys as well.??

Only got about 200kms out of my first tank...bit of a worry..

Ha! I've chucked a couple of 20L Jerry's in

My car to do to and from work... So far fuel economy seems to be a fail... Am gunna fill up on Sunday and do a commute report ;)

I'd just be very satisfied as I've ranted before, if modded vehicles are locked in tune to E70-85, were left alone by the EPA and cops, on the basis they are a very proven pollution emissions reducer. It seems too logical and simple for the numpties in power, if we have modded to pollute less, leave us alone on the roads from than angle. Meanwhile an E10 unserviced standard worn out hack spewing smoke from engine wear, on barely treaded tyres is generally left alone.

    • 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.
