I was at Superlap today. The guys at Haltech were showing the public what the differences were between running pump 98 and E85. On their dyno a car was run 3 times on pump 98 then on E85. On pump the engine made 118hp. Then 120hp when switched to E85 (corrections in the map was only to the fuel so the engine would run on it) Then 4 deg of timing was added, engine made 140hp (from memory) Its fantastic that Haltech did this comparison for everyone to see. I found myself chatting to the Haltech guys for a good 1/2hr on the subject.

Apparently United Rozelle spent a fair bit on setting up the servo to carry E85, so I dont think they will be turning it off anytime soon which is good.

I had better get to Rozelle and fill up my drums then! Adam was going to put in the switch for the Haltech, but I said no. Thought E85 would become more available, guess not. I dont want to go back to 98.

After seeing the results on your car Paul the choice was easy. Mine starts fine, but needs to sit and warm up a bit before heading out. Adam reckons with a bit more time on the cold start he can have it perfect. And you can still get E85 at the United servo in Rozelle. that's where I fill up my storage drums If you need to fill a page or 3 ill in the mag ill gladly put my hand up

Weird how they used 6th gear for the run. But sounds horn all the same.

Last night I went for a long drive. I used my highbeams a few times during the night. After the first 2-3 times I realised that I definitely need to order another kit and do this relay mod!! Can I have a run down of parts required ect ect?

I have to agree with the above posts. Personally I had 8000k in my old car. Within 2 weeks I was pulled over and defected for them. Ive had one of SENNA_T 6000k BOSCH kits installed for well over 3 months now and the police do not even look twice. Which is very encouraging considering the Fords are not as targeted as much as my poor Nissan is :(

$900-$1000 3 Nights a week.

United in Rozelle Enhance in Lansvale Enhance in Granville.

Brazil have been running E85 for over a decade now. Even E95. Most of their cars are powered by it. SAAB and Volvo have flex fuel cars. They use existing technology in their fuel systems, the only tricked up bit is the ECU. And as for corrosive please read through the links and watch the videos. Its thoroughly explained. As I said in the first post E85 is not for everyone. But if you are like me and have another car to drive everyday. Its not that bad.

On the way to the city yesterday:

Hi all, Seeing how there is not much info on the subject I thought I would create this thread. Firstly I heard about this fuel from my tuner about a year ago now. He couldnt stop raving about how awesome this fuel will be for performance based engines. I decided to some research of my own on this fuel, as blowing up an engine worth more than my car would not be on the cards. Firstly the PROS: *E85 burns colder, resulting in knock free tuning. Example: 98PUMP= More timing, more timing, more timing, PING, reduce timing=POWER E85= More timing, more timing, more timing, more timing, more timing, PEAK TORQUE, more timing, LOSE POWER, more timing, PING. This means you will reach peak power and torque before detonation rears its head. * E85 has little carbon (only from the 15% petrol) meaning after awhile the oil you drop at an oil change will look almost as clean as it was when it went it. * E85 will clean all carbon deposits from your fuel system and engine. * E85 is good for the environment, hardly any emissions. You will even pass EPA even with a 5inch cat lol * E85 is cheap, im currently paying 99c/Litre And most importantly * E85 has an average of 108-110 octane. Meaning your engine will produce big numbers! CONS: * E85 is only available at very selected service stations (3 in the Sydney Metro area) * Do to the nature of E85 you will burn through it 30% faster than 98 PUMP (even higher at WOT in some cases) So you will need bigger injectors and a fuel system that will handle your application. * As E85 cleans your fuel system you will need to replace your fuel filter on a regular basis for the first 5,000kms (Im changing every 1,000kms and every 5,000kms after that) There are alot of myths out there that E85 will either corrode lines, eat at your fuel tank and destroy your engine. This is simply not true! If your car was built before the late 80s then you might come into some of these problems, as the technology in rubbers, seals ect has progressed over the years they are easily able to cope with other fuels. Here are some links of real world testing on E85: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85_in_standard_engines http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/green-mo...anol-myths.html (please read through and watch the video links) MY EXPERIENCE: A few months ago I got my engine tuned on E85 and I am extremely happy with the results. RB25DET: (Built top to bottom) Fuel system: 740cc Nismo injectors, Nismo 275L/hr fuel pump 98 PUMP result: 293rwkw@17psi E85 result: 325rwkw@16psi As you can see im making 30rwkw more on 1psi less boost than 98 PUMP. The only thing holding back more power is the size of my turbo. With an upgrade to a GT3540.82 I will make 400rwkw+ at 20psi Now E85 will not suit everyone, if you use your car for everyday driving you will get tired of driving to one of only 3 service stations that provide E85 (Sydney Metro) Unless you live around the corner from one. You will need to plan your trips! I have a daily driver and do not drive my skyline everyday. I also have 200L of E85 stored at my place, so if im getting low I just take a few 20L drums with me to the servo to fill up. So in conclusion, E85 is an awesome fuel to use if your situation allows. The PROS outway the CONS for me in my opinion. I would love to see a few XRTs on this stuff. The way these engines make power so easy im very confident a stock turboed XR will make 400rwkw on 17-18psi rather than ringing its neck with 20+psi (with a fuel system to match) SO WHO IS GETTING ON THE E85 BANDWAGON!

So this relay mod is so the HIDs will stay on when the highbeam is turned on correct?

As long as they are 35w and have the same connectors, yes no probs.

Nice LED mod!! Oh and HIDs with a H3C bulb type would fit in fog lights no problem.

Fog lights i imagine would be H3C: [attachment=43665:H3C_bulb.jpg] These are shorter than any other bulb type and would go into fog lights.

I bought the first BOSCH kit off Pat a few weeks ago. I chose the 6000k The quality is great. Here are some pics: [img]http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/jj405/79dh83/DSC01866.jpg[/img] [img]http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/jj405/79dh83/DSC01865.jpg[/img]

ALOT cheaper than I bought them for lol

Im glad you like the rims mate. They certainly look goods on your ute. I was a bit sad boxing them up. As I never really got that much use out of them. But I now have some nice jap wheels. When I get my car on the road (next week or so) ill take some pics for you. But yes more pics or ban

E85 will not harm those components.

There are alot of myths flying around about E85 and pretty much all of them are false. Except the one about making butt loads of power. http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/green-mo...anol-myths.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85_in_standard_engines

Another HID GB

Jake27 is doing this right now, wait for his pics,

Once you adjust the headlights in your garage then take it out on a flat road. Then you can judge if your headlights are going to blind anyone. When we adjusted Pats we got the level facing a wall then adjusted them both on the road.

If ning ning means. High powered, sure footed, blisteringly fast, sexy to look at Japanese performance car....then yes
