I pray it doesn't get more popular. You pay less for the fuel / gallon but it is less efficient so you will need to add 30-40% more and you pay more for grains and meat. I say do it right and more to LNG / Propane it is soooo much better.
If you want efficient, buy a civic...

the impressive thing ( for other greddy owners ) is that its holding 14psi to redline. Looks like the turbo might have a little more than 10psi in it afterall.
Thats what I was so happy about. 14psi and its still holding so well. Tuners did say that the turbo is nearly at its peak, probably a couple psi left, the next mod to make some more would be bigger turbo but Im happy with it like it is for now.

The sweet spot should be right at 2.0 PR and higher and you will have to start short shifting.

Wait a second, so you are telling me that a Civic is more efficient than a S2000?

Mark, I am glad to see that you have all of this sorted
It must be a blast to drive. You may need to check your wheel alignment if the car get taily with the power delivery. I think the UK wheel alignment spec will be good for your driving style.

This dyno is ultra conservative! My car with a vortech at 7psi got 200+rwkw on the dynodynamic. Dyno log produces another 10% higher than our dyno dynamic generally, but it really depends on the tuner and their dyno correction factor.

IMHO you can get around another 4psi on your setup but enjoy this first before you want more You can see that the torque curve tappered off at the top end. This is possibly from the short waste gate pipe which can cause some exhaust turbulence and the small turbo. You might have gained more top end power if you lengthen this pipe longer than 40cm. Some food for thought when you want to change your turbo

Yes the E85 will use more fuel to make more power. However you will use less throttle at cruising speed from the increased in power. Most people reported similar and some even cheaper petrol bill I am still waiting for the petrol in Queensland eventhough most of the sugar cane for the ethanol comes from this state

[QUOTE=RichV,Oct 22 2008, 09:56 AM] So you have a stock greddy kit but with EMS, omni Map sensor and 750 cc injectors?

Thanks H9krpm! Thanks for all of your help and suggestions. Made the journey a whole lot easier! Cant wait to see your gains when you guys finally get the fuel.

Will definitely look into a modified dp down the track. I got plenty for now, rear end gets all "taily" even in third when boost hits. Will have to get my alignment done for sure.

Woops, yep got a divider plate welded into my DP, forgot I even did that!

I can't wait either mate. At the moment I am still waiting for Autobahn's warranty repair for my engine crane hydraulic. Then I can blooddy put the car back together They've been so slow. As a matter of fact automotive things are a lot slower up here than the good old Adelaide

Mark, can you do me a favour and check your fuel consumption with the E85 mate? I will give you a call this weekend buddy
