I used stock N/A fpr with 1700cc injectors, tuners decision, some tuners prefer with aftermarket fpr, so speak to your tuner before buying anything i thought i would need so many things ---------- Post added 08-03-12 at 13:59 ---------- if any probably fuel lab fpr

Getting my car tuned on e85 in the next week or two. I was wondering what people are using for racing application? I was thinking running sucrogen. Duz anyone recommend something else?

We tested some united servo bowser stuff on Sunday Obviously the test tube reads on the high side but it tested at 94%!! That's about where the sucrogen stuff tests at so it at least a genuine 85% Not bad for $1.41 a litre compared to sucrogen at about $2.50 I bought 105 lts of it, just took up 5 jerry cans Next time if I have to go up and buy any, I'll take a 44gal drum and fill that up About $285 for 200lts of the stuff

Cheers Troy I'll put my results up in a week or two when it gets it's e85 tune.

im starting to liek the ethanol im runnign the caltex eflex in my stagea made 306awkw seems to be not bad on fuel even when thrashing it

what kind of comp ratio running wit the e85 ? rb26/30

At least 9:1

guess you could always just wait till the northern suburbs have a united with e85 on sale... I guess its only fuel pumps, injectors, fuel lines and a tune. what's this I hear about a plug in sensor to detect the ethanol levels and auto re adjusting the air fuel ratios without tune?????

Ye I'm in the middle of installing the ethanol sensor on my vl, as I don't really have many servos with e85 near me it's the best way about it, saves me from having to clean out the system to run 98ron and e85. There's a company in the states that sells it all as a kit. But the whole process ain't cheap and only certain ecu's can be used from what I have been told.

my stagea is on the e-flex runs great , not to bad on fuel either. i might go to united e85 as there are more around ---------- Post added 15-05-12 at 17:24 ---------- also anyone had any problems with cold starts on e85?

No problems at all with the cold starts on e85

Quote: DISADVATAGES I'm all for biofuels but the only people this fuel thing seems to be making happy lately is the media and this sort of thing has upset a lot of people at the Kurnell petrol refinery (Caltex), well they're possibly talking about importing fuel from overseas into Australia then telling people to look for other work, when their position has been outsourced to someone in Indonesia , that is plain stupid !!!! Yeah ,some of those people are probably upset because you don't need to cart "that" around with you anymore when you drive a V8 car, because a modern V8 engine is very good on fuel for their capacity, my VY SS Commodore uses as much fuel as a standard VL turbo but puts out twice the power. They should be looking at developing more of the E85 blend but I am yet to see any of those bowsers around the Newcastle & Hunter region, particularly when I see a lot of the flex fuel compatible Commodores getting around, I don't think there are any "disadvantages" , only that nobody seems to care about investing more money into producing this fuel locally rather than do as I mentioned before, send the jobs overseas and send those people to Centrelink to try and find jobs that don't exist in Australia anymore !!!! I've been doing THAT for the best part of 3 years with a few supply jobs few & far between after I keep on getting fired from positions that have anything to do with the coal mining industry around here because I'm seen as being too much of a greenie in that way (yeah, they HATE Commodores because they are a GREEN car from the VL Commodore onwards, they actually clean all THAT crap out of the air like the cars in California which suck up all the smog out of the air and blow that out as Carbon dioxide). I hope the United Group company in Newcastle wins that high speed rail project (Western NSW high speed rail link) and wants me back there, that would be like building a big electric Commodore. I'm sorry to go off topic there, but vehicles are going greener which means we can't keep on replying on fossil fuel powered vehicles (trains included) forever , Holden have already started importing the Chev volt and slapping Holden badges on them so GM are serious about that !!!!
