Some updates:

I've finally managed to start the car, for some reason it was much harder to get the E85 started when the weather is cold. It is other wise in a worm day. unfortunately this years Melbourne winter is pretty cold.

It is often hard to start E85 in winter due to the lean mix of unleaded petrol. This is primarily why E70 exists and E-flex is supposed to have an enriched unleaded content during winter.

Some result from the new SS2, only had time to do a touch up on my E70 tune and my fuel pump is at its limit. I will need a bigger pump for the E70 to finish off the power run in couple of weeks time. For time been it made 345rwkws at 19psi bleeding down from 22psi. Likely there is another 15KWs gain using a high pressured actuator holding 20psi up top with more fuel. It is currently running the lever mode with a 14psi actuator.

For some reason the lighter material did not alter much in boost response on paper, how ever managed to produce heaps more mid range in comparison to the G2.5 that made similar power output. The difference is very noticeable on road, does not feel laggy at all.

The prediction on pump 98 would be around the 285~300rwkws mark as the capacity of the Type B .82 rear housing is up to the 300rwkws mark.

There was only enough time for a touch up today. I will do 98 run when I get the fuel pump replaced.

Here are some video footages taken from today. Note the difference in sound between the light weight billet comp wheel to the traditional cast and 7075 billet wheel. It came in very early, how ever on paper it doesn't show much.

thats not a bad result, its quite nice.. however that is on E70............. please retune on 98 to make it a usable reslt

Agreed. Looks mint but e85 is too hard for me to get.

Thanks for the offer Stao but I won't be sending mine back for the update. Will just bolt it up as is.

Thanks again

Where's the ethanol love? Usable result for who? Its Stao's car not yours Scott and he wants the powah. :P

It sounds like they all jelly Artz...

maybe he should re tune on 91 octane so it can be a good result for all the complete wankers out there lol.

should he run low boost aswell just incase ppl who buy one of these turbos dont want to run the boost he is testing on??

Edit. I won't say it in here. That wouldn't be fair on him with his potential future customers.

looks perfectly usable to me , now stop your sooking :P

Yeah, lets showcase how good a turbo runs on ethanol when 95% of the customer base is running 98.

:no:

I think you would be surprised, its not 95% mate, and there is a growing percentage switching over these days.

Stao is in Melbourne, half his customers down here are on ethanol or plan to run it. Just take 40kw off the graph if you need the 98 figures.

Ask Trent what percentage of his tunes are e85, I would guess at 30-40%. Get with the times... :)

All well and good to take off 40kw, but ethanol changes the whole curve. You would essentially be guessing at how the turbo would perform on 98, and I don't know about you but I wouldn't buy a turbo where I have to estimate how it's going to perform.

I think testing on ethanol is fine, and it is very interesting, but I still think Stao should get results on 98 as well, otherwise it makes diagnosing potential problems very difficult. I mean, we've seen how many people in this thread, including myself, have had substandard setups and not made the expected results. Stao has always been extremely helpful on this front, but what happens when customers start buying these turbos that have been tested on ethanol based on an estimation of how it will perform on 98 but then don't get the expected result? Is it a case of underestimating the effect that ethanol had, or are there other issues?

No point sooking about it. I want e85 results. :P

Do GCG or MTQ do any testing and post it up for all to see? How is it Stao's obligation?

Lol, not sooking, just discussing. It hardly matters to me, I've already got my turbo. That said, I did ditch my previous G2 based on the result of the G3 in here...

It's not. He isn't obligated to post any of his results, I'm not saying he is. I'm simply voicing my opinion as a previous Hypergear customer, it was the results in this thread that convinced me to buy one.

Its not his obligation, and i still applaud the mans work through and through, but that was my opinion.

VIC might be lucky (and full of fags :P) but NSW and WA are suffering without a reasonable ethanol supply at this stage.

Anyway lets not get into it. Believe me I WANT E85...... It would save me the rebuild im in the middle of right now.. But it aint happening quick enough to warrant letting my car sit around unused or half tuned for ages.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
