Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

I agree with you here. Give the motor a heap of KM's on pump98 then give it some e85 when run in has finished.

WHat ECU is it again ? Can it be flex tuned

Yeah thats the idea Scottie.

ECU is Haltech Platinum Pro so eflex is also on the cards ;)

Decisions..... For a decent 34 it's 15 and for a amloast destroyed 33gtr it's 14

This makes it hard because either way I will be fixing stuff and changing, and of it's rooted I can fix it so not to much there, and will have a new engine either way....

Hmm

Grant (Count Grantleyish) is selling his R34 GTT it is really nice - think 14k IRRC.

But he is in VIC and communication may be difficult as he can't hear but give it a try Zac.

Thought it was. Well yeah few hundred $$ for the sensor and you're all sweet. Though with E85 so close there's a fair chance it may never see pump98 again after the tune. But its good having that piece of mind that you "CAN" run 98 if you decide to

Don't forget $$$ for the retune also.

I'd be interested to see how a car tuned on E85 would run off boost at highway cruising speeds on 98. It'd be running rich, but i would presume not enough to cause it not to run?

exactly mate. If I want to. But will no doubt be very reluctant ever put 98 after considering its power potential :woot:

I drive mine from Caboolture to QR quite often. It runs perfect. chews through a bit of fuel but thats expected

If it was a E85 only tune run on 98 running rich would be the least of your worries, the timing advance on E85 is way beyond what an engine on 98 can handle and that's why the flex sensor is important

not that I want to rub it in, but yesterday I spotted another United that has E85 which is close to my home

I have to say that it will soon become more readily available near you too Bunts

Would there really be that much timing at low revs and low load though?

There's no United servos north of the Logan motorway and south of chermside. Not no servos selling E85, no servos at all. :(

Wow I totally misread what Peter was saying lol.

I wouldnt want to chance it. Considering i gained 100-110hp changing from 98 to e85 with only 2-3psi more, there is no chance I'd risk running any fuel my car wasnt tuned to fun. Hell I didnt even like putting anything but BP Ultimate in my car before i went e85..

In regards to servo locations. I guess Brendale is closest then. But it is slightly north-er than Chermy

From my understanding yes, thats why E85 cars often feel like a big capacity NA while cruising around, and while you are cruising it might be ok but the second you put any load on it, say a hill, you would be in the shit.

this is what I am currently doing. Will not put anything else in car except for BP Ultimate until it is tuned on E85.

Why take the risk if you don't have to?

ah, ok then. 20l range extenders it is!

next question: tuned on caltex e-whatever, run on united? Caltexs range is lacking out of the cities but there's a nice chain of uniteds around

If I were you Peter I'd stick to United. The consistency they have is well known amongst e85 users. They always have a well controlled Ethanol content. Caltex has been knows to drop as low as 70% ethanol, this is a major issue if you dont have a flex sensor.

Also its worth noting that the V8 Supercars this season have in fact ditched Sucrogen E85 in favour of United E85. The same we get from the bowser just "Controlled" tighter to make sure all teams are getting the exact same blend

Either way you decide to go, its always best to get it tuned on the exact same fuel your going to run. Why tune on Caltex if its going to run United?

and their goes another.............

Australia's manufacturing industry is in server dire straits.

The correlation between the costs of living and wages needs to be addressed soon, otherwise, Australia is facing a manufacturing sector that will be almost 100% outsourced.

not good.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
