cbf going back 7 pages so....I have a question I gather from the first 4 pages that fuel economy is heavier on "e" fuel, question is how much is it per ltr? anyone done the maths? any financial benifit at all?

If it's only a couple of cents cheaper per ltr and you have to change tune to suit the product thus limiting yourself to good performance on a atm not to widely available fuel why would you bother?

Cost per ltr pls...

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Mmm methanol....used a blend of it for many yrs in my street cars.

Only probs it caused me were the sore cheeks caused by grinning so much from the hp gains :)

At Caloundra Shell ----->

Unleaded last night was 1.07pr ltr

Optimax last night was 1.13pr ltr

Optimax extreme was 1.20pr ltr

I put some in my daily driver pulsar and i honestly think that the normal optimax is better, the lil pulsar just didnt seem to have kick it used to when running normal optimax, and honestly for the extra $$$ it cost i wont be using it. As for my skyline i will probably stay away from the extreme untill maybe the price comes down enough to be worth it

Wait, so let me get this straight, the 100 has the same amount of "petrol" or less than the 98, has ethanol, which the media are raving about how it is cheaper, and costs 7 cents more? f**k that for a joke! They're making a pretty penny off that!

Btw, where do you live? Optimax is like 1.30 here :mellow:

Bwahahaha........it's more expensive and not just by a cent or 2, biggest joke this year, way to ease the every increasing costs of fuel by introducing blended fuels.

Die Liberal scum........die!!!!!

hmm, just a thought, maybe just fill up with what ever other fuel, then buy the 100% pure ethanol from where ever (usually piss cheap) then add it to your fuel tank :S

hang on, its more expensive because Shell are selling it as a premium fuel.

it has nothing to do with the price of ethanol or govt taxes.

the point about ethanol is that it is cheaper than petrol. It is up to shell how they use it from there.

I haven't used it yet, but fully intend to. I think the ethanol issue is being *way* overplayed in this thread.....it is 1/20th of what you are buying = bugger all.

It seems that fact that shell have oxygenated the fuel is having a much bigger impact than the ethanol content.

*edit* yes it is shell not BP :mellow:

Im in queensland, Brisbane and sometimes the Sunshine Coast.

I actually filled up my lil pulsar on 98cents the last monday without petrol saver too, I nearlly had a tear in my eye when i saw the price. Under $1 it was a special moment, optimax was only 1.04 too.

Cheers Pete

    • Updating results.  Using ATR45SS-0 model VS UHF57-900. Those two are very different turbos, different wheels sets with different wheel hub profiles but yet with almost identical result. I’m intrigued with both turbos performance. ATR45SS-0 was a 61mm turbo first developed in May 2020, UHF57-900 was a 62mm turbo developed in March 2024 as a powered up alternative of a G30-900. On paper ATR45SS-0 maxed at 563rwkws, while UHF57-900 maxed at 568rwkws. ATR45SS was slightly more responsive with slightly better power band through the mid range.  Road driving ability, ATR45SS-0 had better throttle response, felt more robust under throttle, as it wakes up earlier. I think G series wheel hub design made it to have higher inertia under light throttle. Doing bit more prototype work in the next few weeks, will update result when its back on dyno again. ATR45SS0 Blue, UHF57-900 Red Chequered tuner's Dynapack hub dyno, E85 fuel. Mod list is in video below video_20240604_114214.mp4    
    • Did you run the power cables for the mac valve to the other side of the car near the fusebox? Utilizing the stock boost controller cables? or did you run new ones?
    • Hey I have a potentially stupid HICAS question 🤣 I'm currently doing a full hicas delete, Power steering pump modified to non hicas, all lines removed from the car along with all electronics. My stupid question is - Do I need a lock out bar? is there any reason why I cant just remove everything from the rear end? I already have a lock out bar but thinking to save a few extra grams I could also get rid of the arms and tie rods as well and just run it with nothing in its place? or would it have a negative effect on handling?
