I had similar mods to you and the car was good for 11.2 @ 124mph on e85 . I'm in nsw and last time I filled up I think it was $1.40L Edited 21/05/18 09:28 AM by LU82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure tuner said a walbro unit, so will have to make sure e85 compatible. that's standard turbo hey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one may need changing within a week. They should be easy to blow through and if not, turf it. My third new filter is right as rain.

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,997 Member For: 16y 7m 17d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 21/05/18 09:59 AM Share Posted 21/05/18 09:59 AM It also burns almost twice as fast as regular 98 fuel, if you go E85, but it makes considerably more mid range torque due to its knock insensitivity, so it's nicer to drive, but you may end up switching tunes a lot and you pay extra for two tunes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is next level compared to 98 though and the gains outweigh the cost if you like to go fast. If it's ya first time getting it done up then I'd get a 98 tune done first and when you get used to that, swap to e85. That way you get to enjoy two power upgrades without buying more parts. That's just what I reckon though, either way you're gonna have a much faster car than before. Haha I'm excited for ya now too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LU82 Bronze Donating Members 569 Member For: 11y 10m 2d Posted 21/05/18 10:14 AM Share Posted 21/05/18 10:14 AM Good advice. My car only does about 10,000km per year , it's been on e85 for around 5 years. I got 400km out of my last tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddyG6E Donating Members 33 Member For: 6y 8m 24d Posted 21/05/18 12:09 PM Author Share Posted 21/05/18 12:09 PM Cool. Sounds like the go puff. The way u just put it, makes sense. Didnt know id be paying twice on the tune either. shoulda realised that!!! So when its time to do the 85 tune, do I fill with it and take in to tuna, or do u run tank nearly empty and they add some before tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
