ok so i finally got my car back today and decided to try this e85 everyone's talking about....

i went on a mission to hoppers crossing united and picked up 40lt for the bargain price of $39.90!!!

i then went on my road trip to my tuner, Rob @ CREATD....

car : 94 r33 gtst with an UNOPENED rb25.

turbo : HKS 2835 pro s (.68)

fuel system : nismo 555cc injectors, nismo pump

management : power fc

we first did a pulp run for comparison's sake and got 270rwkw...

then we dumped the tank and poured in the jingle juice... the first thing you notice is the smell... its sweet... real sweet...

turned the key and when the e85 filtered through the idle was pretty horrible, but livable, the afr's were off... but we gave it a pull just to see the diff off the bat without any fiddling... 278rwkw... not bad...

after a few more pulls and some extra fuel + timing we ended up with 311rwkw! :PBJ:

below is a comparison graph with pulp (green) and e85 (red)

the tune is now nice and tidy, and the car starts, idle's and runs like a dream.

the 311 rwkw is insane with full boost by 3500

traction is now non-existant (with 5/7 greddy coils, positive camber, sways etc)

so after day 1 of e85, i am a VERY VERY happy camper! i even went back and filled the car up and grabbed another 40 lt in the jerry's...

gonna run it for a full week as a test and make my descisions then... but so far, DAMN good!

below is a link to the vid of the 311 run:

:ermm:

BIG thanx once again to Rob @ CREATD for yet another bang up tune!!!

I don't wanna rain on your parade but if you go for a run and need to fuel up with ULP, won't the car run like shit because of the different fuel?

The e85 sounds good and looks like a winner.

It's not like it'll happen everyday but keeping the boot full of jerrys for an extended run is what you'll have to keep in mind.

We don't have it over here yet but I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

Nice work Mr Shabadoo, have you tried the current tune running normal 100ron just incase you get stuck with no e85 available?

Will it ping it's ass off and be a limp home prospect or still be safe under normal driving?

Ye its good fuel no doubt - Matt who is tuning EVO after EVO at the moment is seeing crazy gains. :ermm:

Only issue's i have - its not widespread enough here in Vic yet really... and the price isn't really reflective in terms of economy.

Economy is worse than good pump... depends on the use of the car :)

yeah, so far the consumption is alright... ill post more details in a week (i ripped through nearly 40lt today :ermm: )

yeah, i recon i could get 320 with the cam gear, but i decided not to push it anymore :ermm: (+ i want the response)

it took probably 2 hours tuning.... (we chat a lot, we really only did like 10 pulls)

Good results, but am i reading right that you are now running more boost?

yeah, its on 18psi for the e85, and 16 for the pulp, as the pulp tune wasn't gaining any more at that pressure

Awesome results man, and thanks for sharing - really good to see an overlay between normal pump and E85 on the same car :ermm:

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
