10-02-10, 19:28 GMT+10#11 yes definate octane is a must know because if you get tuned on say uniteds and the octane of theres is not as good it could do some real potential damage.
also how much is this stuff per litre from both servos.

11-02-10, 08:49 GMT+10#14 just curious to know from you guys that are using it.
they say economy is real bad when using e85 so how many kilometers are you guys getting per tank compared to any 98 type fuels you have used in the past.
vlt88 is that what fuel you are using to make the 354rwkw you have in your avetar and is 29 psi your daily tune now to make that power.

11-02-10, 16:55 GMT+10#16 yeah just noticed today its down to 99.4 yhew! lol
e85 burns %30 more than pulp so you need to up your fuel system to compensate for that, and yes economy is %30 worse.
yep i use this %100 of the time. as i cant be ****ed draining the tank and getting retunes every time i wanna use 98 lol
yep was tuned on this for the 354rwkw on 29psi kane dyno's always play funny buggers with my converter.
i turn the boost down to around the 23psi mark as i have a few traction issuies
