Thoughts on E10 vs 98 vs 91

[bozodos]

We have United 100 here, I was initially keen on it, as I drive past the servo every day, but my tuner reccommended against it due to the fuel being inconsistent and going off quicker?

[S_M_I_D_D_Y]

hahaha yeah well i say 3, 2 of those are over a hour round trip out of my way and the other one only has eflex half the time so its a little inconvinient

[awesome _vzss]

You dont NEED to retune, but i suppose a tune would give the maximum benifit


Pretty keen on eflex myself, the only problem being there are only 3 service stations in Newcastle area who sell it and outside Newcastle im not sure its available except sydney.
Can anybody tell me other locations i can get it? expecially close to eastern ck, whats the closest servo? cheers

If your talkin about eastern creek in western Sydney, there is a servo about 5 minutes up the road of the great western hwy.
Thats where I usually fill up with eflex and love it

There is one on the Great Western Highway at Girraween - Caltex - City bound, top of the hill after Greystanes Rd.

United 100 doesn't interest you Simon? Or better yet eflex

Yes, it does. I was going to try it a while back, but got sidetracked. Maybe I'll start next tank, will need to re-program the WB to suit E85 though. At least the stock injectors should just handle the increase in flow rate required.

Yeah that's the one I got to and was talking about.
Also the price of eflex there is usually pretty cheap compared to others I go to.

Also this with that servo the blend has been pretty consistent with no less than 80% ethanol.

So your saying that E10 is better then 95 octane fuel? Is that for tuned or stock cars?

Ps current car is a 2010 SIDI SV6

GT-I9300T 2

I keep track of fuel economy in my car (VYII) and found 95 gave a bit better fuel economy than E10 enough to nearly offset the price difference. So the 95 works more efficiently in my car than the E10. Now my car is not tuned so I would say to get the benefit out of E10 you would need a tune for sure.

Did the BP98 vs United 100 experiment on a customer's car , the results were pretty disappointing to say the least.

No where near as knock tolerant , and a loss of power & torque right across the rev range even after tuning .

Steer clear. Eflex /E85 on the other hand

I have heard it is possible to add the ve style ethanol sensor to a earlier model commodore for running eflex , e85, 98 all with 1 tune. Is this correct? What tuners might have experience with this setup in the Newcastle to Sydney area

well I know you can incorporate the GM sensor into the new haltechs, but not sure on putting the sensor onto an older holden ECM.

[bozodos]

What about the E38 PCM on the VZ L76?

I was under the impression that the VE doesnt use an ethanol sensor, I thought they use the fuel level to determine when you've filled up and then recaluclate the % ethanol by monitoring the STFTs, I could be wrong on that though.

No that's how the US cars do it. Ours have a physical sensor. Much better our way.
