Joeyjoejoe's E85 Tuning Adventutres

[bombtrack]

I am watching Hamish's results for the next week then doing this myself with datalogit, can't hurt to have a second tune programmed for this stuff.

Might even buy a 200lt drum of the shit and fill up at home lol

Congrats dude.

[paulr33]

interested to see normal every day economy on e85

otherwise good stuff

well done

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yeah, i'm eagerly awaiting my weeks fuel usage...

so far i have driven a normal 50 k's ( not including the 3/4 tank i used on the dyno and "testing" ) and the guage is still above full

[(OO)Firty Free(OO)]

Well done mate, 311 kw aint nothing to be sneezed at. Bet it feels good on the road. E85 is good stuff thats for sure.

[dezz]

Nice results

Excuse the ignorance, I haven't bothered to read anything about this fuel...

but 85% ethanol? People were pissing and moaning about 5-10% ethanol destroying fuel systems etc (I personally ran V-power racing for a period of time with no issues, and 1 tank of 100RON United which I think has ethanol as well, with no issues) but 85%?

What are the pros/cons of it?

Might be worth looking into it, especially if its available in Hoppers (where I live) and with a laptop/datalogit to swap between maps for 98 and E85...

Great results man, will be closely watching this thread. Now when the hell is this shit going to come up here to the North

well if i'm happy to run 300rwkw unopened then i'm obviously happy to roll the dice

[PM-R33]

That's the spirit, live life on the edge!!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Well done mate, 311 kw aint nothing to be sneezed at. Bet it feels good on the road. E85 is good stuff thats for sure.

yeah, it's an awesome drive now.... if i had tyres with some form of tread remaining it would be perfect...

[WYTSKY]

great stuff mate, well done.

great results.

Im interested on how you go with the fuel economy

[paulr33]

are u buying it in jerry cans to store it at home?

or cos you cant easily change maps yet?

you would be able to work out the mathematics so that you could use

the temp ign and inj adjustments on the hand controller

as a "drop down" method to run 98 penis fuel

so the tune would be on e85

then when you cant get e85 dial in some correction on the temp adjust (is lost when car is powered off)

and it should be reasonable. saves laptop / datalogit

let us know re fuel economy

im keen to try it too on std turbo

not expecting more power

but happy to dial in more timing and make the engine scream

i already run near 50deg timing on light load so more is good if possible

[paulr33]

if you send me your before and after maps

i could translate it into

hand controller steps

so you wouldnt need datalogit map switch

if you cant find 85

i wouldnt use it as a permentant measuer (annoying each time)

but as a stop gap, should be fine

[180or200]

hey Paul, I run the fuel daily and find i'm useing around 18 litres per 100 vs 14 on pulp, we had a e85 shortage for 2 weeks and had too use pulp and i just let the o2 sensor trim it, ran fine, couldnt be bothered changeing maps knowing e85 would be available next day or so but turned into 2 weeks bloody bloody servo!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

thanx heaps for the offer paul, but my datalogit is only a couple of weeks off anyway

i'll be watching the economy like a hawk and be reporting here asap

[Mr. Oizo]

that's an awesome result

i might have to jump on the e85 bandwagon soon

i just have no idea where to buy it from

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

united hoppers crossing and buleen.... unfortunately that's it atm

[Al]

Congrates Hamish; both on the tune and of the car, looks awesome

[paulr33]
