jc20b Member 33 Member For: 16y 4m 4d Posted 30/06/09 12:33 PM Share Posted 30/06/09 12:33 PM Hey guysOk been playing around more with e85 this weekend.FG xr6t been running on it for a good 10,00k now all is goodThrew a sh*t load more timing into it everywhere and more boost And now am getting 13l/100km full sydney traffic dont have to rev it past 2k each gear change and you still go quicker than traffic.and highway I have been about 9l/100km Its all bullsh*t about running 30% more you can run lean as on cruise as the turbo motor is low comp. a/f is 13:1 to 16:1 in some spots with no heat problems etc etc etc if the motor had 13:1 comp and turbo then you would have to run around the 9.8:1 Anyways is anyone else on here running it yet ???Oh sitting in the m5 tunnel made me just make another topic on e85 as that tunel would cause alot less cancer if we all used ethanol.Respect e85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

EnricoPalazzo Member 84 Member For: 19y 3m 12d Posted 30/06/09 02:38 PM Share Posted 30/06/09 02:38 PM Sorry, you have not tuned your car to run E85 and you are running it all the time? Sounds dangerous, AFRs 16:1 means nothing if its early in the rev range. What is the afr at the top end of the rev range? Anyway to me sounds like a recipe for disaster.

JC20b - did you tune this yourself? or get a tuner to set it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound too impressive as far as barra motors go, but you have to remember that his motor is only a 2.5L!The thing hauls ass too, I'd invite anyone in Sydney running the same power level to try and keep up - E85, sweet like sugar....
