hay boys, i did a search on this on the site and didnt really find out much info at all. and ive done a google search and didnt really get the answer's that i wanted either.

ive been hearing about this e85 fuel that america has been using for 10 years now and i hear that its going to come to out pumps in the future. thats how they get away with running 2000hp rigs on the street.

ive also heard that its got more octane then c16, round 160% and e85 is about 60% methanol, and its going to be cheaper then our normal 98% fuel we have at our pump nows. allllllllso been told that all new cars being made from the beginning of this year have been set up for this fuel as its cleaner then to burn into the atmosphere so thats why the goverment is pushed for it.

can anyone confirm this with any links to other websites?

cause if this is true, we can now get a cheap race fuel on tap, but our fuel systems will need a upgrade to take the mix of strong liquids in the fuel, rule lines are to be changed, fuel pumps, much bigger injectors as they will be squirting much more fuel.

ok stay safe.

Unless you live next door to a servo that sells E85 it's a waste of time (at present).

I have sized the entire fuel system on the race Z for E85.

Planning to take a 44 gallon drum to the United station to get the fuel. Word is that the octane rating is 110+ and many engines can be advanced past Bottom dead centre without detonation.

AND ITS CHEAP. :)

Sounds like a winner to me.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
