How exactly do you get 40% more power from E85? just from 12deg of timing?

Also BA injectors arnt much bigger than e-series injectors at all. The 29lb that everyone thinks they are, are at 4 bar fuel pressure. The e-series injectors are measured at 3 bar.

You can't say 3% power from 1.8 points of compression as there are too many things that change outputs. I make 100kw @ 5000rpm on E85, Vs 72kw at 5000rpm on 98. Timing and fuelling differences make the power change.

Yes they are that much bigger...I needed to change the injector slope from 19>28 on the ecu to get correct fuelling...All you have to do is check on the bosch website, BA are 213g/min vs E-series/AU at 150g/min (tested in n-heptane@ 3bar) so they're 42% larger. And if you do some calculations you'll find they're about 29lb too!

Well you can definitely put a limit on it, you're not going to gain MORE efficiency than the thermal efficiency. What else was different between the runs though?

Tank was drained of 98 and filled with E85 on the dyno. Runs were 5 mins of each other.

Yeah not buying it, 40%@wheels is unrealistic just from a bit of timing and a fuel change. the fuel shouldn't change it much, if any by itself, and 12deg of timing would normally give maybe a 10% increase if you're lucky...

ah yep my bad I was looking at 0 280 156 186 instead of 0 280 156 123, bit odd how i ran out of fuel with those injectors.

The only safe way to use pump e85 is to get an ecu with the flex sensor. E85 at the pump is generally watered back down to e70 in the winter months to prevent cold start problems.

United isn't. I'm sitting at 86% Ethanol content right now. But, as I said earlier an Aftermarket ECU (Haltech PS1000/PS2000, Vipec V88, MoTeC) with a Flex Fuel Sensor is the way to do it. I'm running a PS1000. The Ute I'm building is going to a Haltech Elite when it's released.

Im going E85 and sequential injection when my ITB's go on. How long can you keep the united e85 in your tank? I only drive the car once a week if that.

No more than 2-3 months. I've pushed it to almost 3 months but I wouldn't recommend it.

ok thats actually pretty good. Does the flex fuel sensor have anything to tell you that its stale? does the ethanol content decrease?

It's not that it goes stale, being Hygroscopic, it absorbs moisture, and as we all know, moisture doesn't compress.
