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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
