Classic misuse of the word "there"...DOH!!

[cherring]

Only adds to it really

Get back to your whore!

You dont drive you only whore

[Manuel Kasko]

Have you done the SS1pu on e85 yet?

Would be really interested

Really not liking the idea of always having to run 20psi to get 250rwkw when these other turbos that people are strapping on are making simple 240 etc on lower boost such as 16-18psi

Pm me or post up here if you could

Cheers mate

For what it's worth mine's a daily driver and I only have one e85 servo near me, but I'll still be making the switch.

Because ur not soft like the rest

Aside from where it's sold, can you think of any reason why not to as a tuner?

It makes their job too easy, no challenge, as it's not on the verge of knock all the time.

Seriously, the only reason not to run it is the extra fuel it requires, larger fuel system, less k's to the tank. The positives outweigh the woeful economy tenfold. Clean engine, more torque/power, lower temps, cheaper, environmentally friendly, not having to line the pockets of thieving oil companies...

Shhhhhh.

Haha copycutter availablity is the only issue. Oh and supposedly it melts fuel rails and ruptures fuel lines etc etc according to people that dont like ethanol for some stoopid reasons

[DaveO74]

Or go WMI and reap the same benefits as e85 but with improved fuel economy

Just thought I'd throw that in there

[34GeeTeeTee]

Or go flex or dual maps and use 98 for economy trips and E85 for playtime? LOL

[DaveO74]

Show off

[cherring]

Hurry up Penrith E85 pumps!

I might be wrong but how is running e85 cheaper?

[GTScotT]

the fuel is closer to $1 per litre..... 98 is like $1.60 atm

[adam999111]

its $1.18 vs $1.50 at the moment. and say it burns 30% more $1.18 is equivalent to $1.53 in petrol cost. so not cheaper now but the power gains is a benefit for virtually the same cost. but when 98 goes up which it will, you will save.

[lilcrash]

O_o. Plus a new fuel system. So I guess it's much like gas. Some people will do it thinking oh this is a great idea and the rest will just continue on with their lives. Although I was told that the only way my hypergear will be reliable is with e85 as it heat soaks really bad. In that perspective I can see why stao is listing the e85 figures. Let's get some more dyno sheets in here already. Any more testing done yet?

[Mitcho_7]

The ss2 stao posted the graph of a few pages back was an internal gate setup, but I thought Stao always reccomended to run ss2's externally gated?

[SS8_Gohan]

E85 won't be +30% if you do mainly highway of say 80km/hr+ kms... my GT-T got to +10-15% on 98 fuel economy with E85 and that was back when E85 was 97cents a litre... was much winning

and to the person thinking of going z32 ecu nistune - i think change your ecu plans, FC or Link plugin. Nistune is great, and i highly recommend it... but for 33 owners, there are better options.

[Daleo]

Hurry up Penrith E85 pumps!

You know there's a United with E85 at the top Old Bathurst Rd in East Blaxland now? That's only 6 or 7km out of Penrith

Surely the 'Riff will get one soon.
