Tuning Your Stock Skyline To Run On E10 With An Interceptor If Necessary

[Ben C34]

Seeing if it pings to death on shit fuel is your niche?

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.

It's a waste of time, if you're shit keen on it buy an aftermarket ECU and tune it on E10 - the cheap shit (not P100 E10)

Your car will run shit, your economy will be shit.. essentially you're running less timing to compensate for this fuel, which is usually inconsistent too.

E10 is made for lawn mowers and whipper snippers

Most probably will be the case.

Most probably will be the case.

if you're tight, just run 95 RON - get toshi to remap your stock rich as fek ECU and happy days.. more economy, more drivability - done.

If you can't afford to run your car with 98RON, sell it.

even my Victa lawnmower gets 98RON

^ I usually just suck it out of the R33 actually

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.

Yeh actually I think you will find that E10 is part of a government initiative to push renewable fuel sources. Clever marketing campaigns to promote the stuff make it sound like it turns Excels into top fuel dragsters, in reality it is a lower octane fuel and will make less power. It is a fuel designed to reduce our fossil fuel usage and lower our carbon footprint, nothing else.

E85 on the other hand, that's sorcery and witchcraft in a bottle

P.S Woot, first post here in months

E10 is better than E85. You've obviously fallen into the trap of the great marketing generated by the distributors of E85. Now I'm not calling you an idiot, please don't take offense to my post.

It's the same as when someone was saying a lower comp engine is better for turbo, when in reality and high comp engine will make more power and is naturally stronger. Often in trade we call them a low 'strength' engine and high strength. This has been covered before.

"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?

good to see not everyone is a simpleton

So a 91 or 95 octane fuel (E10) is better then a 105 octane fuel (E85)?

Whatever the case is with the RON of E10, I think there is no doubt they wont be using their 'best of the batch' 91 octane fuel in it

E10 is not better. If you think its better, why arent you putting it in your car? go and do it, tell me how that goes. I've used it in N/A Cars and performance and economy both suffered.

I just hope he doesn't think you are serious Tom.

Seems it fooled me? lol................... :S

I'm surprised you fell for it!

I remember why it's been months now. Carry on, lads.

It's really not that hard to digest.

Sigh.

Seeing that E85 is blended with 91 at the bowser, would they be blending that with "not their best batch" also?
