What fuel system are you running mate? you need lots of spare duty to run E85 i hear.

 

I am currently looking at some larger injectors to replace the Siemens ones as we speak, i already have a PHR type rail with a -8 feed and the bosch 044 pump. That will hopefully give me enough headroom for it :)

Go C16 mate, sunaco 109 is a bit of a girls race fuel but it is wideband friendly, i will be using C16 on the new turbo.

 

I've just priced some of this and for a weekend racing (tank full) it was going to cost me £300+ :blink:

 

It worked out at £9 per ltr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely if its £9 per ltr it would cost a lot more than that for a tankfull? Thats just over 30 litres?

You will be very surprised how little you will use, the car will be very efficient, we used little more than a jerry can doing the whole of TOTB prob 25 litres and we must have done at least 15 runs + 2 top speed and a couple of goes round the handling course.

Jamie are you going to the pod for the Jap Finale????

Maybe we can have that shoot out, providing the new turbo arrives in time, ecu is going in today:)

 

Probably not mate, im not really into drag racing (once a year at suprapod is all i will do) Im gonna do Suprapod then take it off the road for the rest of the upgrades to be done and get a quiet exhaust on it so i can do some trackdays, i get the boat back next week and ill be using that every chance i get now.
