Well now your up and running you can be involved in the sneakiness

CLOSE to up and running ;) Ill sort the fuel issues and then we can FINALLY go for a run with both cars lol

looks great - it's basically a scaled-down, more "all-in-one" option of what Trent did with my car, and what Unigroup did with Piggaz's car - i'd definitely be going that road now, but it's about the same price as a new GM sensor, so there's not much point switching now for me, but for others, definitely makes the flex-fuel setup a bit more streamlined.

yer as soon as i heard they were designing i was sold.. :)

came out just on time for the end my build.. :banana:

Sort of.... I'm running the PS2000 and Zeitronix gear.... I haven't had a good result due to failed clutch, failed coilovers, failed piping etc.... So it's finally back together and booked on tomorrow... Will report how i go :)

Got my car finally tuned with E85 by Trent at Chequered Tuning. Did a really great job. Car is super responsive with 600 odd nm of torque (4k rpm) and 379rwkw. Looks like I've reached my limits with the N1's but I think I'm enjoying the insane down low - mid range power. It was mentioned that I could go a Vcam setup with some -5's but will enjoy the new fuel for a while :)

I'm trying to find a new spot for that sensor ATM. Big thing it is! argh!

Such a great setup though. Who cares what you put in, pull out of the servo and belt it :D

  • 4 weeks later...

word is end of November Caltex will actually switch to a summer blend of 85% ethanol (which they didn't last year) - first week of Dec i'll run a tank or two and let everyone know what % it is - when i was using Caltex before united was up and running again, they were very consistent between outlets, everyone bang on E70

Ahh ok.

I have an ethanol test kit actually but thought someone might've known off the top of their head but all good. Car's going into mechanics in a few weeks so i'll test the fuel then, as it'll be getting a retune for the fuel again after being off the road for a year :(

Apparently Caltex are cutting Eflex e85, that's the rumour I heard today... I would say United have cut the grass on all their sales with a cheaper, more consistent and sweeter smelling brew. Shame as I like competition.

I hope United's price doesn't go up...

    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
