craic with e85 an all them yokeys?

[mick]

seein as petrols going up from midnight, theres no way ill be able to run the skyline.... whats the story with all those alternative fuels e85 or whatevfer there called. where do ya get the bits for conversionwhats needed in terms of hardware and mapping it or can it be done with me apexi neo air fuel yokey?... fuel easy to come by? etc etc

[twailbait]

I wouldn't bother mick, You've got the van for driving.

For the amount you'd be driving it I doubt you'll see any gains from it.

Its only going up by a few cent like! Still cheaper than it has been in the past.

Id imagine it will be cheaper in the long run to stick with normal 95ron. E85 takes bigger injectors afaik added with additional mapping and any other ancillaries.

Plus with the inconsistency of decent e85 in this country id stay with regular fuel

i converted my r33 road car to run on e85,its a great job,its cheaper,better on fuel,and also delivers more power,im running mine on 550cc injectors,and an apexi neo and its 100 per cent,any questions just ask id be glad to help,

e85 could be running out..
some maxol stations already have stopped doing it

only reason im drivin the van is cuz of the snow.... cant afford to renew me insurance, tax it an fuel it if petrol goes up... tight enough as it is cost me thirty quid to drive to baldoyle and back the other day from greystones... cant sustain that like.! jamie. can you tell me exactly whats needed to convert?? like who mapped it etc.. hmm i must have a look round and see if anywhere round heres still doin it..

sure how much is petrol going up?5 cent a liter?what would you use in the skyline a week?60 liters?and extra 3 euro over 60 liters,6 euro over 120 liters,its not exacly and end off world price increase?

yeah mick,we(JR Performance) map alot of cars for e85 both track and road use,great results to be had,
ECU.whats needed is firstly something to map it with,you say you have an apexi neo that will work just fine as thats what my skyline is running on.ideally something better like a piggyback(emange ect) or standalone would be the ultimate job,but it can be done with your apexi neo(it only adjusts your fuel map,not ignition or other setting as you already know),
Injectors
the next thing you need will be uprated injectors,what size are you running currently,on my skyline im running 550cc injectors with out any issues,i also have a uprated pump,mine is GTR,but walbro or the like will work fine,your own pump might be okay as is,,

whats you current spec,such as injectors,fuel pump ect,mite just be a remap,its a savage job e85,i personally have yet to see any problems with it as of yet, i run both my skyline and sr22 180sx drift car on this fuel,i would highly recommend converting to run on it,,,,

hi jamie, do you have to change your fuel lines? Heard e85 damages the rubber in your fuel system?
