for a road driven zed is the lower cost/extra consumption of E85 a better proposition than using 98 Ron?
works out about the same . but real reason for change is for the higher octane . race fuel for the price of pump fuel. .
Its a road car so it would use Pump E85....... Hmmmm turbo car with LPG injection.... looking good. Wonder if you can get HUGE LPG injectors? What's LPG octane rating ??
Might talk to RedzedMikey he works for an LPG system importer. Is there an issue tracking LPG fuelled cars? Yep it isn't getting cheaper to fill the Crewman. Cost $62 to fill the 70 litre tank in that now.
When I was still the battery contract I had my Hilux on LPG injection. It was still acceptable in terms of value at .75/litre but these days seems to be closer to .95/litre.... I reckon a kit would be $4k or more -hard to get that back when the price is reasonably close to E10
The Vapour Phase kit I had fitted to the Crewman was $4K 5 years ago but I got 2K back from the Government in a rebate. Think its $1000 now..
Hurry up & get some details & photos up tekky! Wasn't there a qld member maybe 4 years back that converted his tt to LPG? Think his user name was 'scotty' then a bunch of numbers.
Currently? Have you been thru the whole season change ? Maybe it's just caltex that say their fuels could go as low E70 during the cooler months.
dont think about it graham just do it :br: i will be tuning on e85 100%. cost and mileage work out about the same but obv power increase is the difference... it also stinks like vodka heaps though the ultimate setup would be an eflex setup where you can put any fuel into the car and the ecu automatically adjusts the maps with the octane read. prob cost about 2k to set up with the sensors ecu etc...
UNITED is always E85 all year round CALTEX is always E70 ,they claim to change in different seasons but they don't . .
When I put my foot down I'm near 90% duty cycle on sard 800s on stock turbos Uses quite a bit but driving around normally it doesn't use crazy amounts as I find it likes to be lean. Definitely worth it and like blackbeast said only use united. I pay around a 1.40 a litre for stuff I can throw bucket loads of timing at
22psi. Guy in us is in the mid 90's on 740's but I'm running mine a bit richer. Guys in US also run 26-25 degrees of timing and I've held back from that.
