as above you'll run out of flow from your pump before your injectors, if you dont mind pushing the fuel system i'd guess 320-330 rwkw would be expected at about 22 psi, anymore would be a bonus!

fark.. i guess another 044 is instore!

not real sure what the knock levels are as i dont have a hand controller on my power fc. if adrian has time tomorrow we will put the wide band on and check AFRs and knock. i really cant see it being a problem though.

Caltex said they were going to make E70-E85 on a seasonal basis. so E70 in the colder months and E85 in the warmer.

Anyone else see on the news the new VE SS on E85 they had on there?

Going to be the first Australian production car that is built to run on the stuff.

Might mean that there will be more places for it poping up around the place if they're acutally building cars to run souly on E85.

Nah I think they said it wont be ready for awhile. Probably heaps more trial and error to look at.

But what I'm saying is, if they are going to acutally start building production car's meant just for E85, surely they will have more available at the local pumps with in a year.

Hey pal I think your being a tosser, if you had read any threads related to E85 on SAU you would realise I'm one of the biggest champion's for the fuel, I love the stuff!

That comment was a dig at the person who started a new thread for a topic that has plenty of open one's and a shit stir to the guys who have already had there car's tuned by me to run E85!!!

regardless I like your passion to the subject.

your cool adrian :) man how cool are you? yeah i have read the threads but there all old.. over a year or so and in the threads apparently it was shut down in the state. so in my question you intelligent person i was asking availability and feedback because its an option. your cool

yeah. its good for the environment and reduces our dependancy on fossil fuels which is awesome. we just need to make sure we mandate that all ethanol gets made out of biowaste, rather than purposely grown produce - we need that for actually feeding people still....

smells kinda weird too but i suppose we'd get used to it in time... the extra consumption is a bit of a downer (get bigger fuel tank) as is the supposed wear and tear on certain components (i know nothing about this) but the extra power gain is pretty nice

will be interesting to see how it pans out - the fact theres more power will appeal to the bogan set quite a lot (esp with the supercars running on e85) so I'd expect holden would actually get many more orders on the e85 ss than normal

that said, what is the price for a liter of e85? I've never seen it around so I'm not sure what a comparative price to 98RON is

-D

I haven't seen any or maybe I just haven't been looking but on the news they said it was ruffly 20-22 cents cheaper then normal fuel which I'm guessing they were talking about 91RON

But also said that it uses ruffly 25-40% more in consumption (another guess, but might be what you drive and how you drive it to what the consumption rate is). So whatever you may save at the pump when you fill up at first it'll cost just the same (maybe more) in the long run.

But in a years time, who know's might be better or they might have sorted something. We can only wait and see.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
