Id be *** impressed if you had a started ur car on water now that would be worth posting a video. Its sold at the pump of course a car is gonna run on it. Massive inlet temps on the dyno sheet but, was it dynoed in a sauna?

I couldn't care less if your impressed The vid was posted to show how a car should start on e85 as the previous tune had no idea how to start on e85 I know what the car makes n how it drives It's still sitting in my garage as I haven't had time to fix it It will b all fixed this weekend then most likely out of my hands If I still hav it by next weekend I'll take it out for a run n get a true figure on the dyno All I can say is it makes a ****load of power n is a handful on the street Not bad for my "sh1tter" setup

Funny, nothing in this thread about the fact that the previous tune never got completed due to problems with the car. I normally do cold start last, when I know everything else is correct on the tune. Some other must do it different. There is also nothing in the thread about the previous tune in regards to changing from drum E85 to Pump E85 half way through. And even a mix of half and half "just to see what happens" Even though the 2 fuels have completely different densitys. I tune E85 cars on a weekly if not some times daily basis. Funny your the only one that I have never actually finished a tune on and the only one having problems.

Haha It was only ever tuned by pete on pump e85, never drum until the dyno day N if mixing the 2 fuels is a bad idea, why even tune it? Pete drained my tank of eflex n filled it with drum e85 so it was all the 1 mix And we had the same dramas on the dyno at pete's lik at Efi But he was able to fix the problem, car wasn't running right on coppers so he threw in some really old iriway plugs, ran perfect, he rang autobarn, I went n got a new set of plugs I remember being told by u guys that my fuel system was maxed out at 400odd hp The car was never cold at pete's to do the cold start properly but funny how it started perfectly on cold start even without having it cold Must just b a fluke...not tuning ability Like I told Rick, there was several things wrong in the tune that had to be fixed n pete was happy to talk to u guys n tell u what was wrong but no1 rang him I could go on but there's no point My cars will never b tuned by anyone else but pete His knowledge n tuning ability is 2nd to none

It was tuned on both pump and drum and a mix of the 2 at EFI. Thats my point. Pete did finish his tune how ever. Regardless if it was cold there or not. He actually got to a point where he was happy with the map, set the cold start corrections and engine temp correction. So, we are here to celebrate the great job that was done on your car by Pete. Im not here to deny that. I always said Pete knows what he is doing. You have the dyno sheet to prove it. Im still learning. Always will be.

The tune has never been completely finished Tyres have stopped that both times I really couldn't care less what power it makes My next setup is the big hp/big mph/quick et setup This setup was basically trial n error of what works n what doesn't I would lik to hav seen what u could hav got from it but it wasn't to b I'm extremely happy how the car turned out for such a low $ setup Motor still stock n head basically unported There's alot more in it if it had a fully built head n bottomend The car wouldn't be where it is if it wasn't for 3 people that helped out alot Pigsy Kyle and Pete Huge thanks to those guys
