You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Yeah been thinking about that too!

It seems to me the easier option straight up if you already have the supporting mods. Then if it's still not what you want, upgrade turbo and you're already on E85 :)

How much did it cost to convert to E85?

And do you know how much it costs to go a full flex-fuel setup? I assume you need a new ECU as well? Dont think Nistune will do it

alcohol is for drinking. oil is for driving.

f**k the enviroment yo.

^^ Pommy prick pretending to be a mullet eating bogan. Just because your dinosaur V8 goes backwards in power on ethanol. :P

With some decent comp and drilling the jets on your carby I could possibly get some more powers out of your clunker Paul...

If you have the overhead in your fuel system, it costs nothing... Forget the flex fuel for now, just get on it...

Probably not.

My fuel pump i got serviced about 3 years ago via Sabbadin Automotive. All it said on the invoice was a Hi Flow Walbro fuel pump. Don't even know what model it is

need to go a haltec/link/vipec etc if you want flex fuel. changing to that is quite a few $$$ as its sensor + two tunes + ecu, you would also want the ecu controling boost as you can run a heap more on E85 than 98.

$500 for the tune

My engine already had the supporting mods; I had planned for ethanol eventually a long time ago. Supporting mods = basically just a big enough fuel system. 555s and a 040 will do you safely up to 300rwkw.

Also, fk flex fuel. Just get tuned on United which is consistently E85 afaik. There's one in Clayton and one in Scoresby you can fill up at. Car runs beautifully; I don't even have a wide band.

With Flex fuel more so thinking on long trips and the ability to use any fuel you want

So say your driving on a long trip you got 1/4 fuel of e85 left. You fill up the rest with 98octane since there is no e85.

Load up the map for 98 octane

Is it still ok to drive with a mix of 98 and e85 or?

if you want NA power on e85 you need to go 12-14:1 compression, but then you can never go back to 98.

itd be interesting to see if my tuned for 98 ls1 would run on a 10% ethanol fuel... not that id try it... but itd be good to every now and again not have to spend so much on 98.

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
