Hey,

Just thinking it might be a good idea to have a list of petrol station that you can buy E85 at...

so does anyone know where you can currently get it from?

Farmers Federation branded stations (tho I dont know where they are) and possibly also the OG Speed Shop

-D

there is only 2 fuel stations and thats the ENUFF on marion RD down from graham west and the ENUFF on salisbury HWY

sorry i get the name wrong all the time :down:

its >>ENFUE<< lysdexia ftw

More than 2 dude, if u check the website they have a list of SAFF (SA Farmers Federation) locations around the joint, looks like thats who SAFF get their e85 from. Good to know!

Is it safe to run our cars on this fuel?

I only run 98oct ultra or v power in my car (32GTR).

Also I remember hearing Clarkson mention that in the koenigsegg , that running it on the ethenol type fuels that they were getting 50 more hp out of it . (I dont mean drag fuel by the way (E85)) Correct me if I'm wrong.

I would also expect that we would be best off getting our cars dynoed to run this stuff .

Again correct me If I'm wrong.

a) Safe? Depends on the car, and most importantly for skylines/turbos, you MUST have a tune for it (otherwise it'll run like turd)

b) e85 will get you more hp, mr donnon has posted figures that indicate 50kw improvements across the board...

c) e85 isnt as efficient per weight/volume as petrol, so the engine drinks it quicker (ala LPG) so range is reduced

d) you also need to check that the lines are going to be compatible with a rich ethanol blend. i really dont know anything about this but i recall it being mentioned - metal fuel lines wont be a problem but i think there was speculation about certain rubber compounds, the pumps longevity and the seals... best to do an in depth search for that issue

there is also now a ENFUE at the back of cavan rd that used to be a liberty or a SAFF dont know if the stock E85 its behind where all the trucks fill up some of you will know what i mean and some will have no idea

  • 2 months later...

just went to fill up tonight and the government has locked up the e85 bowsers. apparently SAFF were never allowed to sell it. and the guy said they have gone into recievership.

anyone know where else sells it? kinda need fuel, or a retune.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
