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 eflex is better than nothing at all but the united stuff has a bit more room for tuning/timing

this item is what u need if doing the e85 thing and get worried real time display of ethanol content in ur tank easy peasy

yeh those test tubes can be had for like 50 bucks off fleebay and not bad but for the bloke who is in need of the real time info its the goods but at 600bucks its not everyones cup of tea, but i like the way the markets moving with e85

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

    • bumping this post as im still having dramas, my fuel pick up is sitting on the bottom of the tank, my pump gets a constant 13 volts through a relay, my fuel pressure holds consistently without fluttering or dropping, yet as soon as im near half a tank of fuel my car starts fuel starving and leaning out, it cant be due to g force as it never pulls hard enough before it starts breaking up, any help would be much appreciated 
    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
