I have the spec sheet and it specifically mentions ULP (98 octane) in a ratio of 15% to 85% ethanol. It also contains 9mg/L of corrosion inhibitor and green dye.

I can happily email this spec sheet to anyone who is interested.

Trent how much are you charging per ltr? Is it available only by the drum? Very interested in how things go with this. Are you charging the same price per hour for an E85 tune as for a 'normal' tune?

At the moment, we are only selling it in a 200L drum, but I am sure we will be able to sell smaller quantities if you bring your own drum for us to fill up.

As for dyno rates, yes there is no difference in price (that goes for 98 octane, tol/98, E85, C16 etc, its always the same rate). If you want an estimate on a tune, just PM me. I might even throw in some free e85! :action-smiley-069:

Yes I need a definitive answer on the other 15% as I have a map on my Motec M400 tuned specifically for ELF branded E85 which is 15% 98 octane, everytime, doesn't differ per barrel.

I answered this in a prev post, just wanted to say I would definitely suggest a power run if you change fuel brand. Better to be same! If you buy a 200L e85 from us, I will throw in the power run to make sure your tune is safe.

Is there any information on how long will the fuel last before going off once opened? Ie if I buy a 200l drum and use it over a 3-6 month period...

Cheers

Hey Michael,

The thing to make sure is that it is always in a sealed container. This will allow the fuel to create its own atmosphere and will stop it absorbing moisture. What I do with my fuel is keep it in a sealed 200L drum until I get down to about 100L, then I put that into 5x 20L drums, to reduce the space above the fuel. It has a very long shelf life, so I would think you could easily keep it like this for 12+months.

I've had E85 stored in 200L after opening for over 12 months before, didn't seem to have any affect

The CSR E85 is the best on the market, I know people who have used ELF E85 and CSR E85 - Everyone is saying CSR gives a better result and has added protection with a corrosion inhibitor.

G'day Brett, welcome to the forums mate.

Gday, the other 15% is Caltex Vortex Premium 98.

Caltex has been proven in a couple of different tests to be the best 98 on the market.

Ive recently learned that Mercury Motorsport has been appointed the official QLD distributor for CSR E85. Trent informed me during a brief chat at the track the other day he has scored the ditribution rights for this fuel in QLD. This is exactly the same fuel as is being currenlty used by AVESCO in the V8 supercar series. Trent is about to recieve the first delivery of the new fuel and is keen to show some back to back tests against not only regular unleaded but also some of the more expensive race fuels.

Im keen to see some results.

awsome

I saw the data sheet and indeed it is, alot of the cheaper E85 mixes are using 91 octane for the other 15% so thats good to hear.

Will hopefully be buying some drums in the near future :)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
