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.

Same thing that happened with LPG I imagine. More people use, more demand = can afford to push up the price. They would have made it cheap as shit to get people using it and now they have a decent customer base, someone has to pay for all the new pumps.

But 98 used to be 10 cents a litre more than 91, and the difference keeps going up. So as long as E85 stays lower than 98, proportionate to the extra fuel usage, I'm happy. Even if a little more expensive to run it's worth it.

United recently took over a servo 2km down the road from my house and put an E85 pump in - so handy! Used to have to fill up 3km away from my work.

Filled up the excel the other day, think 91 was like 1.09 at safeway petrol... Seems to have dropped a fair bit since I went to Thailand, then again I don't really look at the price when filling up so maybe I just didn't notice it

lpg is not the best example, it has stayed similar 50-60 c jsut when fuel prices when up it became less economical. and now prices dropping it's dropping at same rate.

expected the same for E85.

considering how much more you go though bet there not many of those flex fuel commodores using it atm.

EDIT:

just went and checked Holden site, seems for VF they dropped E85 support, so guess that answers that one,.

I disagree on the LPG, it may be proportional but back a few years ago during the LPG boom when every man and his dog were doing conversions for $500, the price of the stuff jumped up with little to no change to petrol prices. I was filling up at 40 cents a litre or less and out of nowhere the shit skyrocketed...I put it down to demand.

demand will always bump prices agreed.

not sure the demand is there for E85 tho, not a huge amount of cars running it.

other than the FE commo, who supports it from factory?

also with prices going up makes you wonder how long it sitting in tanks for.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against E85, when I get around to changing injectors will be moving to it.

just thought it was cheaper is all.

Must be the aftermarket using it - that or united are seriously committed to marketing it, because they keep popping up new servos with E85 / installing tanks.

Alvin may like to correct me, but I don't think e85 goes off / loses it's octane in tanks as fast as say 98 would.

They would be sealed to prevent water build up, and alcohol/ethanol doesn't really go off over time?

(in some cases improves!)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
