Went for a drive today and it started going lean over 3500rpm.

 

I replaced the fuel filter and now it's good again. 

 

I also bought some stuff to make a wiring harness for the fuel pump. I'll chuck that in when I get a chance.

I wired up a relay and battery feed last night for the fuel pump. It'll be getting whatever voltage the battery is getting now. 

 

I still haven't checked the laptop but it is idling fine and has plenty of fuel up to just past 6k rpm after a bit of driving today.

 

I spose I'd better see how it goes on e85 soon. :3gears:

If the pump was seeing a voltage drop before it will be supplying more fuel now. Need to check the AFRs

Finished installing my new battery. Bit of a pain with the Nizpro setup. Installed the twin feeds for the amps at the same time. Had to move the catch can over a bit. Sure is getting crowded over on that side of the engine bay.  Then went for a little drive. Really reminded me how slow my bommodore is.....

 

Put the Simmons on the bommodore with Invos, I have grip again. Like the colour, not sure about the wheel, realy like the GTS ones I had. Oh well a change is always good.

I chucked 45 litres of e85 on top of a quarter or so of a tank of 98 today. 

 

I adjusted the tune to suit and it goes quite well. It is holding nearly 19 psi to redline with a bit more in the middle and there is plenty of fuel there.

 

Fun fun :3gears:

 

Ps which bastard decided that e85 should be $1.40/L when 91 is only $1.02? :angry2:

$1.40/L pisses me off but what's the connection to 91?

The last time I bought e85 from the same servo it was the cheapest fuel available. This time it was the most expensive.

This conversation sums up some of what I mean about 91 vs e85 price. 

 

Apart from a 10 litre jerry the missus picked up a few months back I haven't bought any for about 3 years or so.
