I Was Going To Switch To E85...

[DR 32R]

Nice info about the ethanol sensor vipec combo disco. I would hope an any ethanol content Skyline could be engineered, ala Holden SAAB.How about fabbing a larger fuel tank, as per RT Charger, XW GT, mad max etc.

Now, I am still running the pistons that came with the car. From factory. Im making just shy of 600rwhp on 29 pound. My car had probably done 12,000 k in the last 18 months.

And for you playing at home, I have 1200cc Injectors and they are maxed at these power levels and mixtures.

What ECU are you doing all this on?

Actually I'm a twit , or similar sounding thing . What you could do is buy Caltex EFlex and test its Ethanol content and add the appropriate amount of say Ultimate 98 to make a consistant blend of something less than 70% ethanol . To end up with E50 shouldn't be to hard .

Must have first coffee before posting ...

There is someone on here doing that that blends their own E42.5

Awesome bit of gear available from Just Engine Management.

Isn't Marko tuned at CRD ?

If you read my post, I refer to the tuner who was responsible for tuning the gtr I recently bought.

I.E. Sorry to disappoint you but crd did not tune this gtr...but he more than likely will, even though its a vipec

Don't get me started on dyno tuners, a very well known sau member was recently disappointed with your tuners results (name disclosed as I'm not here to defame others)

Wolf V500.

Same goes for every shop mate, thats life. Starting a thread about a tuners opinion, then not expecting the subject to come up? Come on, no one can be that silly

Agree to disagree

Anyway, if you decided to not run E85 then good for you, others have chosen to run E85 and good for them. Im going back to pump 98 personally not because there's anything wrong with E85, purely due to the range i need to get out of a tank on long drives through twisty roads on Sydney outskirts where even on pump fuel its pushing the economy pretty hard between servo's. Its annoying not being able to drive those roads with this fuel.

FYI Marko, to disclose something means to reveal it / make it known.

I'm sure if I used your tuner I wouldn't get the same service as what you do and vice versa...end of the day stick with who feels right and looks after you

Its like marriage haha

Way off topic sorry guys

The joy of typing on blackberry with a mini screen, I left out "not to be"

Stevo - that's the other reason e85 is not for me as I also like to take long drives and will become stranded on e85

You could carry jerry cans of E85 for long trips or utilise a selectable unleaded petrol tune and carry a jerry can of unleaded that will get you to a service station?

That is truly awesome. Even if my engine management won't utilise the sensor, I think I'll buy one just to keep an eye on ethanol content so I can adjust it to always be E70. I thought these sensors would be intank, but here we have an external mount with a simple hose in / hose out connection you could mount anywhere along the fuel lines. Then an easy plug straight to the LED display. Win. Do you think it would be best to tap into fuel return or fuel supply? Or would not matter too much?

[N1GTR]

^^^Agreed, id buy that for SURE if staying on this fuel

[NYTSKY]

Id put it in the fuel return.

[scotty nm35]

I was getting prices of $500 just for the ethanol content sensor a while back, have the prices come down?

[NYTSKY]

Im pretty sure they are cheaper than that. Give JEM a call.

Marko, I hate to be picky, but I will... you also did the same thing in your opening post. . Must be an inherent anomaly with the Blackberry. I'd get it checked.

PS, withheld would be a better word

PSS, I am keen to try E85 when I finally get my car finished.

few guys over here in WA doing it, thanks to ethanol being illegal at the pump here and no fuel companies showing any interest in shipping it here. we have to buy drums of csr stuff, which is over $2/L so using half that and half 98 makes it a little more affordable

[Nee-san]

how long does it keep for Jonno ?

[JonnoHR31]

no idea, havent looked into properly yet but will be shortly, sick of 98 here and how ridiculously inconsistent it is
