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:

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
