2010 G6E finally getting tune and mods!!!

[ToddyG6E]

Is there anything else the motor needs ontop of what im already getting , to run e85 Lu82? Whats it worth a litre? Im wynnum, brisbane

[LU82]

No , just make sure your injectors and fuel pump are suitable .

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

Fu#k that's a good time hey!!! Hope I can achieve that with mine. Pretty sure tuner said a walbro unit, so will have to make sure e85 compatible. that's standard turbo hey?

I'd recommend buying a couple of fuel filters as they will block up pretty quickly when you first switch over to e85. 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.

Ok cheers mate. Have looked around and theres a few servos not too far away selling it. Sounds like the way to go hey.

[LU82]

Yeah standard turbo

 

E85s a good cleaner so loosens any crap you have in the tank.

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.

It's a bit of a waste for commuting as it's basically a race fuel and you use about 30ish% more of it. 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  

[LU82]

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. 

[ToddyG6E]

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?
