Question.

E85 and 93 octane mixed. How's that work? Which ever has the most type of fuel that's the tune you use?

john26jm 05-02-2015 10:30 AM

Well I haven't done I'm tgoing to do that later on but I know a guy that did do it you just have to wait for the fuel to run and than refuel

You can't mix e85 and pump gas without a flex fuel system and currently one does not exist for our cars. You must do as Phunk stated above and you pretty much need to be on empty before changing fuel or you could blow your engine. If you want more power for weekend worrier fun, then get a tune for 100 octane, but mixing e85 and pump gas is a big no no for now.

phunk 05-02-2015 12:07 PM

Ya if you switch back and forth, you want to get the tank SUPER empty, as much as possible out. Its ok if there was like a half gallon of whatever left in the tank... but its not really convenient to drive around in circles waiting to burn off that last bit of fuel either. Switching here and there is OK... but changing fuel like your underwear wouldnt be recommended without flex fuel status, something we cannot do right now.

john26jm 05-02-2015 12:09 PM

Yesh that does sound inconvenient the only reason I would do it would be for road trips the closest e85 pump after El Paso is 8 hours away lol

Thanks for the link.

Come to find out they do have a E85 pump about 20 miles from me

Bad news is it's in the heart of New Orleans. King of pot holes, and bad traffic.:/

12 psi 93 octane tune will be my only option as of this time.

Went to go check it out. It's not there, must of been a type-o on the website.

So essentially, if I'm running on e, Gnna run out I'm ok to put some 91 or above In there to get me to the next e85. Love it

john26jm 05-02-2015 01:20 PM

If your tuned yes if your not thank don't think so

What I was saying is that if you are going to switch from your E85 tune to your 91, or from your 91 to your E85, you dont have to go into the tank and wipe every last drop out with paper towels, you are safe to make the switch of fuel and tune if there is still a half gallon of the other fuel in there. ALTHOUGH personally for the first tank after that switch, I would not beat on the car quite as bad. I just feel better about letting it work out the diluted content of previous fuel for one full tank first... and this is part of the reason I wouldnt go switching back and forth all the time.

But if you are on E, and you put some 91 in there, and drive on your E85 tune... that would be not recommended. You would want to switch to your 91 tune... then drive it down to E again, and then switch back to E85 and E85 tune. You dont want to run the wrong fuel for your tune. The car WILL RUN, and it will move and drive around low load part throttle with the wrong fuel... but it would be highly non-recommended and could cause engine damage if you gave it any more than very very little throttle.

Hey AAM, so freaking awesome you are joining forces with Torqen UK to release a RHD version later this year!

WANT WANT WANT :icon18:
CAN---NOT--WAIT :excited:

V1H 06-23-2015 08:46 AM

As I've come to hear AAM commenced the build of the first two RHD kits - one for a 350Z HR and the other for my 370Z. Very exciting days!

Keep up the great work AAM :tup:

Just a thought on the widely varying hp figures.
Why not post corrected hp and state whether SAE J 1349, STD, ECE, DIN, ISO 1585 or whatever has been applied. Those corrections still vary between each other in ambient standards and some include friction torque, others dont, but ultimately they converge. This way a cold day wont artificially inflate numbers and make others scratch their heads :confused:

Then again, I totally :iagree:, power is power and it got to be a healthy one. I am aiming for conservative 500whp/600bhp on 93 octan for peace of mind. Shouldnt require more than 8-9psi
