PROTIP: don't farken worry about it :)

just don't thrash it if it's been tuned for 98 and put that in when you've run it down. I sometimes have to put BP or United 10% ethanol fuel in mine due to the nearest 98 octane pump being 35km from home lol. It won't harm it, there's also like 69 threads about e10 already anyway lol.

thanks guys! after puting it in i drove home from the station ( like 20 mins away) and cause i didnt know then that it was the wrong fuel then i was thrashing it like crazy! SHIT...... went alright but not in high revs!

ps. i couldnt find any other threads bout this! only like 1 (maybe im not looking prob)

ah yea most are in general automotive, some people blather on about the hygroscopic (water absorbing) properties of ethanol inducing corrosion and premature wear in the fuel system, but basically:

don't get ethanol fuel from a cruddy old looking servo, as there's more likely to be more water and crap in the tanks to start with

don't get fuel when the tanker's there unloading due to all the sediment in the tanks being stirred up

As i've said in the other threads, not only does BP ultimate have 5% ethanol in it anyway, but the gf's datto 1200 has had no lines wear away or mechanical problems in using united e10 for the past 2 years plus. I don't run it in mine because it uses a noticable amount more of it.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
