Maybe email caltex and see if they plan to increase eflex availability in Canberra anytime soon?

Might flick them off something this afternoon.

Nicholls caltex, just off the barton highway

another southside somewhere.

it is not a practical solution in canberra yet as there's only 2 pumps

Okay so certainly on two pumps in Canberra?

E85 is only available at *non* woolworths Caltex outlets - Nicholls and one of the 2 in Kambah are the only non Woolworths branded ones in Canberra.

No plans for introduction at Woolworths Caltex outlets any time soon (an immediate family works in the Woolworths head office in Sydney).

Edit: and before anyone asks, Woolworths Caltex branded outlets are *not* Caltex, so ringing them wont help much - they are Woolworths Petrol with the fuel supplied by Caltex. Woolworths Petrol has no plans at the moment to introduce E85.

The "Star Mart" branded outlets are the Caltex owned/franchised shops and are the only ones that will stock E85 - aside from the 2 listed above, there are no other Caltex owned/franchises outlets in Canberra.

wmi has no effect on your injector size, same size injectors you would run for what ever power it is on normal 98 as thats all you put in the tank.

good wmi kit 400-600, you then need to source your methanol and distilled/demineralised water, its not a complete retune its only a partial retune anywhere on the map after the WMI has turned on as thats the only place that will have any changes

for extra go fast you can mix in small amounts of nitromethane as well

You can get 20l drums of methanol for like $70 from a few places locally, which will last a fair while with street driving.

Distilled water is cheap as from any supermarket cleaning isle as well.

Kit will cost like 500-1000 depending on the setup you choose, but you should be able to put in yourself.

It's much of a muchness in cost difference I think, because setup/tuning costs are relatively similar and although eflex is cheaper, you can't go as far on a single tank. So that helps even the cost difference there as well.

You can always sell the kit and go e85 down the track if it becomes more widely available anyway...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
