shootoboy NHB006 Member 86 Member For: 19y 1m 15d Posted 02/04/06 02:47 PM Author Share Posted 02/04/06 02:47 PM It will be interesting to see what the results are.... I have access to a dyno. I might jump on with a tank full of this stuff in the next few days (if I have a chance) and without changing anything at all, post the before and after AFR's? I dont expect to see power jump that much without altering the state of tune, beacuse I think the advantage with E10 will be the amount of timing it will be able to support over Ultimate 98. However I do think it will run leaner.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to use this stuff when mine is re-tuned in a couple of weeks. See how it goes.Are you sure he said leaner? As ethanol or alcohol blended fuels have more oxygen content(since the extra OH strand) which means they carry their own oxygen into the combustion process meaning that AFR's will be richer.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I think you got is ass-backwards - if there is be fuel left over after combustion, this is running rich, less fuel means lean.

Guest Guests Posted 04/04/06 03:41 PM Share Posted 04/04/06 03:41 PM Hang on!!!I know of one reputable tuner in Sydney that did a study running the Optimax 100 Extreme.Used to be a site sponsor...something Tech Engineering. The results were highly in favour of the Ethanol blend fuel.Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read though it, and it states that Ethanol blended is the good Mine seems to run ALOT better on the stuff. Just gota get the injectors in and a good tune....
