E10 will run just fine just a little bit lean =D

O2 sensor might be able to compensate on closed loop, but on open loop it would be slightly lean.

You won't make a noticeable amount of extra power and it won't have much knock protection, so what's the point?

Ahh.. E10 will make more power. Not less. E10 is a better burning fuel and that's why it is used in all new cars. Ask the police about their f6 and gts. They will tell you the same thing.

I didn't say anything that contradicts with your statement?

Definitely didn't say it would make less power...

Also you say that new cars are designed by the manufacturers to run on it, yes that is true, but the important word in that sentence is "new".

On an old car that is not designed to run on E10 any benefits will be negligible, like I said.

Cause ethonol = RACECAR and its 20c cheaper litre.

Well if it's cheaper that is a good benefit, but assuming closed loop compensates for the ethanol, you will burn through a tank slightly quicker.

So the $/KM won't be much less than with petrol.

E85 is the business if you want racecar status, not E10 :yucky:

should look at the factory timing map.. then ask yourself will E10 work well..?

if you want to run E10 you are going to need a remap, or at a minimum retard your cas by about 5 degrees.

If this E10 is 91 octane equivalent (or therefore 93 or perhaps 94 octane) then it will ping. Even bloody 95 likes to ping in most Skylines. Ethanol be damned - going leaner and lower octane at the same time cannot be a wise decision.

Try it and find out.

Yes that's the idea.

Im currently running a SAFC II tuned to 98, which have have a dual map feature. Car is running stockish boost 9psi (makes that with wastegate pressure only) so even though the fuel is trimmed which advances the timing, it isn't enough to cause knocking.

Changing to E10 would require more fuel, so if the trimming is backed off and or more fuel added it will decrease timing. Whether it will be enough to not cause knock at load points or be achieved with minimal base time reomoved is the real question.

Also finding a tuner to attempt this and not just say "eat a bag of dicks" is another challenge.

100RON E10 if tuned properly can make a bit more power over standard 98RON, however the 93-94RON E10 that is usually at the pump is a BAD IDEA and i wouldn't even try. From what my wideband showed me, when i had my 98RON AFR's at 12.6:1 (NA back then) they would jump to 13:1 under full load with E10(100RON) but i found i could wind in a tad more ignition over 98 too.

Yes thats the idea. SAFC (interceptor) can run two maps (run one for 98/E10), adding extra fuel though the interceptor will back off timing, may go speak to a tuner see if he's interested.

He may just tell me to "eat a bag of dicks"

E10 means its 10% ethanol - do all the suppliers in Aus use 91 petrol for the other 90% or does it vary? If so I wouldn't bother. E10 over here is about 98 but its still of marginal value.

Turning your CAS is not really going to give you the timing that you need.

If you want to go faster turn your boost up a couple of psi.

Borrow some knock equipment and pull back the timing on the CAS enough so there's no more audible knock.

The stock ECU runs rich as bat shit anyways, so you'll be safe with more ethanol content..

However, what is your goal?

You don't really save more money as the car becomes less economical

United P100 is 98 octane petrol with enough Ethanol added to get it upto 100 octane. That'd give you a good benifit with a remap. Cheap wollies stuff... probably not so much.

AFAIK E10 is shitty fuel mixed with 10% ethanol to bring the RON up to 91. Therefore it is no better than 91 octane, it just burns a tiny bit cleaner and is cheaper.

I have never heard anyone who has enjoyed running their car on e10. Everyone has said the car runs worse myself included when I ran it in my old VL Calais. Honestly the difference between filling with e10 and 95 price wise, only amounts to a few dollars when the tank is full.

If you cant afford an extra $10 or so to fill with 98, why did you buy a skyline?

"Unleaded E10 is United Petroleums ethanol-based unleaded petrol offering. As a result of ethanol being present, it has an octane rating of 95; higher than the 91 octane of normal unleaded petrol. Ethanol is a natural octane enhancer - adding ethanol to petrol boosts the octane number and its performance. It also helps the other components in petrol burn more completely thereby having a cleaning effect on a cars fuel system."

Off United's site.

How can E10 be 91 RON when the base is 91 RON then blended with a higher (ethanol) product?

Curiousity really, see if there is any possible benefit or if it is just a waste of time. I dont have much interest in chasing power or changing the stock setup past removing restrictions, so shit like this is my Niche.

Plus love to prove the "bandwagoners" who comment alot and know very little.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
