E10/100 On A Pulp98 Tune - Any Issues?

You need a retune to make use.

Just changing fuel will not realise the full benefits.

There is extra timing and fuel mappings that need changes to see the gains that are to be had.

That's what I thought, but is there any danger?

ie due to the ethanol content not flowing enough fuel on the PULP98 tune? Or is 10% ethanol not enough to drastically change the flow requirements?

Should be ok, I tried it a while back for its higher octane but I found little difference in knock protection between that and BP98. If you want benefits re-tune for E85, more pumps should become available very soon.

No worries. Yeah i plan on getting a netbook to plug into the Haltech and tuning a map for E85 so i can switch between the two as need arises... Just dropped $10k+ on the car though so perhaps i'll leave it a while.. ;)

Well not overtly major other than the "why?" ;)

Just use as is until you are tuned for it.

I just happened to be at the airport and needed some petty. United had E10/100 and as i'm not sure what their 98 is like i thought i'd chuck half a tank in.

Just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to break anything :blink:

i use E10/100 ron and i certainly rate it. its about 1.20 a L most days and ive tuned my car to suit the fuel. awesome torque gains from few degrees extra timing.

Would tuning for it be that easy - just bung in another couple degrees and run it up on the dyno to make sure it's still not near detonation?

after all the dollars you spent on a custom tune I would just run 98. I would only run the E10/100 ron fuel if you took it back for a quick retune.

I tried the E10/100 ron fuel a while ago and I got 5L/100km worse fuel economy for no gain in power (because I didnt get a tune). So I quickly changed back to 98.

Just wait for E85 and get a custom tune done then.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
