Injectors are at 65%

Spool up Gary - I wound the timing back quite a bit hence the slightly slower pick up but I would quite happily sacrifice a few lb/ft up to 3k for what happens afterwards. Thinking about it the previous run may have been in 4th gear so would explain the lower boost at that point. Will do a 4th gear run to compare and rule it out. I know you wouldnt want me to lose performance at that important area :lol:

Oil - good point - thank Scott.

I am logging WB02 alongside all other data and it doesnt go leaner than 0.8 lambda.

if you got time to spend try a 50:50 mix of e85 or 100 % e85 if you have enought inj on time left

I ran up 50 % methanol and one point

I have been trying to find a good source of E85 without luck at the moment.

I have loads of IDC to up the fueling by the 30% or so needed for it so would love to have a go. Do you have a good source or is it just Morrisons that sell it?

excuse my stupidity but what is E85? and do you have to map your car to get the best out of E85? :oops:

85% BioEthanol 15% Petrol = E85

It is not possible to run without mapping and increased fueling.

thanks, sorry but another stupid question do you just go up to the pumps and fill your car up with it as surely it would not run right on normal cars, are certain cars able to use it with out mapping?

I think the new Saab's and Ford's have twin fuel model that adapt automatically to the fuel in the tank. The rest of us cant run it without changes.
