Nah, I think the spec is only around 20ft/lbs. Some gorilla probably cranked it on and it stretched when I pulled it out.

Nah. I already know what it sounds like and didn't want him to get a CEL cause the o2's weren't plugged in.

Plus his mum already thinks I'm too loud.

A little OT. I helped my cousin part out an Accord. I made a more comfortable creeper out of a spare seat.

Picked up some E85 from Arcade station and started on my E85 tune.
That stuff is rocket fuel. Picked up ~20hp and ~40ft lbs on my first map revision and then my clutch started to slip

Shit that's pretty impressive, I was reading up on it a bit and seems like gas mileage gets worse. What about power increase on a stock tune? Make a difference?

E85 is oxygenated fuel and has less energy, so you need to spray more of it compared to regular gas. This will mean you get shitty fuel economy but more power because you can run more timing/boost without knock. For my car, I have to scale my MAF curve +~9% to compensate in order to maintain my AFR's.

On a stock tune, if you are not having knock issues with 94, then E85 won't necessary help you. If you can't modify your tune to compensate for the increased fuel requirements, you probably can't run much E85 anyways. My speed3 can run up to a 50/50 mix of E85 without having problems with the CDFP with E85. I'm running a 25% mix just to get my feet wet with E85 tuning.

Curious as well how it is effecting your fuel mileage. Moar power is great, but fuel mileage is a large concern with e85. buying in the WA is a pain, but only $1.10/L so it balances out the fuel consumption.

E85 burns less efficiently than conventional fuel?

Yes. Less energy in it than normal gasoline.

I'm changing my Dinan tune to the JB4 now that we have E85 locally. Can't wait to take advantage of this. Easy power.

Here's a poor comparison of 94 vs E85 mix with 94 using my old data logs and Vdyno. The logs were taken years apart at different temps, but the point to illustrate is that you can make pretty awesome power with an E85 mix vs straight up 94, but at the expense of fuel economy.

On the 94 I was targeting ~18psi and ~6 degrees of timing at redline. This was a safe tune on 94 with no knock. My car was knock limited on 94.

On 25% E85 + 94 + methanol, I was targeting ~ 20psi and ~14 degrees of timing at redline. This is my methanol injection tune. I didn't get any knock.



Methanol injection can work just as well as E85, but the factory fuel system is far more robust than aftermarket meth kits.
Being my first time dealing with E85, I guess I'll find out if it's worth the hassle of driving out to West Vancouver to get it and having to mix the fuel.

Hmm good to know, I know my cars running like shit right now anyway and needs a tune. Was more so wondering if there would still be an increase in power. I'm not so worried about gas mileage, more thinking about the benefits of using it at the track.

Z1s.

I've only driven on them for 5kms so I don't have much to say about the PSS other than they're much quieter than Z1s.

A driving instructor with 30 years of racing experience was commenting on how "set up" my car felt on the track when he drove it at pacific raceways with me in the passenger seat. Coils, and PSS were the only drivability mods on my car at the time. I also couldn't get fast enough to get my ABS to kick in in the hard braking turn in test. Partly due to the fact my car is slow as fuck and didn't have a huge run in to it, and partly due to the fact the tires just wouldn't lose grip. You wont be dissatisfied. Keep in mind you are coming from a great set of tires before though. The wet is where you will really notice the difference.
