i would be suprised if it didnt cope, me and my tuner are amazed how good this stuff is, im running no more than 20knock on the power fc... its sweet as

but you'd be silly not to do a GTR intercooler atleast... my intercooler was only $400 and $300 to fit up so dont try and be cheap with it or you'll end up getting a crap result..

wow.. just saw you got 3L twin... man that has massive potential with some decent turbo's and E85... happy times ahead if that is done right.. :thumbsup: a 300zx was my second choice of car if i didnt get the r33...

well, judge me all you like, im just saying 20psi 320kw and very very little knock with 6degrees of extra timing ...

im confident that this fuel would do ok with only 14psi and conservative timing and still make some decent numbers, but i did say put an intercooler on it didnt i??

ill say again.. its very good fuel and you can achieve above and beyond 98 ,, my tuner will vouch for that too

less than 5knock just means your soft cock lol :P

I'm still pondering whether i should go the WMI route or the E70 route. A water/meth kit is cheaper than new injectors and a pump. Not 100% sold either way due to my setup not being that "hard core" but needing one or the other to put any useable boost in. The Base Map i'm using for it has 15 degree's removed from peak torque and 5 degrees removed up top and was used in a similar setup on only 7psi.

dunno what you guys are on about really.. do you actually run flex fuel or are you guessing about it, cause i watched my car on the dyno and being tuned by Gavin Woods whom i fully have confidence and respect for... does an awesome job and absolutely safe tunes... when you go get a job as a tuner and succeed like he has then come back and preach your knowledge with results like he has and then ill agree with you..MAYBE

just trying to help with some constructive comments.. GL with it the 300ZX should love it.. ive drove a 300ZX non turbo and turbo and even the non turbo had balls so will be interesting whatever you do

lol... interesting way to gauge the effectiveness of a fuel???

Well considering the RON (research octane number) value is measured via knock feedback on a variable compression engine I would suggest that you would be able to make some fairly valuable results from monitoring knock levels with 98 vs e85.

To the original poster if you are knock limited than you obviously need higher octane fuel to achieve a better result/higher knock resistance. An intercooled will help cool the charge making it less prone to det but will not aid in octane. Wmi will do both these things. If it were my car I would make the intercooled fit and run e70 - this is obviously the best solution..

Ethanol is just like methanol. It would work well without an intercooler. Obviously E70 isn't as good as methanol so the cooling effect isn't going to be as good.

I'd still run one, not worth the disadvantage

From what I've seen e85 vs methanol - it is nowhere as good at keeping temps down. We had no cooling issues with a methanol injected 350chev - swap to e85 bam, not enough coolant capacity/radiator and we had heating issues. This was a drag car with small radiator.

You only need to look at the extra volume of fuel required compared to e85 to see where the cooling comes from.

Thier point was the fact your tune does not knock has little to do with the fuel and more about the state of the tune. And basically overall your intercooled results are irrelevant for this thread. So more-to the point, no-one is sure what you are on about!

To the OP - VL's were running what, 5psi through a small T3 and were ok and you could get upto around 8-10psi IIRC. This is back in the 80s :)

That said - it's not just about the amount of boost.

14psi through a t04Z or 14psi through a stock GTS-t turbo? Two very different ends of the field and resulting heat. saying "14psi" isn't relevant in it's current context really without knowing the entire setup. Your setup will also be quite sensitive for sustained use as well as heat increases.

You'd need to get a few sensors going IMO and monitor it carefully and work your way up. It might be fine now in cooler months, and all of a sudden one warm day, 1hr drive and all of a sudden you've got stones under the bonnet :thumbsup:

    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.
