Martin says there is no problems with it and has tuned Willalls Evo on it i read somewhere that caltex have capped the ethanol to 70% for the first 2 years

and really once you tune on united lets say you get a batch of 90% then you get 70% in you next tank you will only run a little ritch

oh thought id post this as alot of testing is happening on the united e85 of late

Ran my ute up on the dyno today for a rough comparison to see how united e85 would differ from drum E85 using my (Cheetah race fuel E85 tune).

Well I actually found it runs richer using United pump...and it made less power in the mid and top end.

Cheetah Race E85 - AFR starts from 12.0 - 11.5 up top

United Pump E85 - AFR starts from 11.2 - 10.4 up top(very rich)

Power wise....United made less power (10rwkw) across the board from the start of the run and was losing alot more near the end of the run... will be looking into this.

I have done this just to see if I can use United pump for cruising as its a daily vehicle...

So this is just a lil bit of a snapshot for you guys.

Cheers.

$1.34ltr United Pump vs $2.00ltr Cheetah Race E85.... and 1tenth over 1/4 mile.

this ute was tuned for the cheetah race e85 and it was only on the dyno to check if the afr's would be alright with the united stuff.

price and % content united it the ducks guts atm

yeh what a stooge tuning on 91 but if thats all they got on pump so be it, but then neat 85 is the way to go

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
