Definitely more increases to be seen once you full run E85. I remember when i changed my car over. It went from 350rwhp on 24psi to 450rwhp on 21psi. 100rwhp gain with 3psi LESS boost!!

As you said its a total different car to drive with the other fuel in it...

Yes, but I doubt my car is going to deliver those same gains. My car loses power with more boost :/ the knock resistance of the fuel is just about at its fullest where I am, so it's only small benefits from here. I'm sure it will nudge over 400rwhp, but not expecting heaps more.

Seriously magical fuel though!

I doubt he would use 91

I think you mean the 100octance from united with 98 and 15% ethanol he is using pure E53

I believe United E85 is generally 91 octane unleaded blended with ethanol.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing though. The extra octane isn't necessary, and the lower octane will actually help the mixture to ignite. We are already talking about a 108 octane fuel here, so the octane rating of the petrol blended with it is inconsequential.

No worries mate. It really is amazing stuff. Can't wait to finish off this tank and change my fuel filter, see what crud has been cleaned out :D

Also, it makes the exhaust fumes smell delicious! :laugh:

Don't think I ever posted these photos:

Got over the old white leather trims that I put in when I first got the car. Realised it looked horrible, so got some new black ones. Retrimmed the steering wheel while I was at it.

Got some new bits and pieces for my GoPro, so had a bit of a play:

Aaaaand this is a compilation of clips I've taken since the tune:

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
