A HAA just got the news!!
Hi Joshua
 
North Adelaide is live and selling Bio E-Flex. It became available a couple of weeks ago. :)

this made my day...fun times ahead :D
 

Yea stock HG. I've got maybe 60% of what I need for a rebuild anyway...just need to source cams/gears, crank, sump and have some headwork done and bore the block out to suit the pistons. All in time though.

doing a bunch of work on my car still......waiting on my inlet manifold to come back then i can get onto finishing it. Considering getting some good teflon hose for all fuel lines and see how the walbro copes with E85 straight, if it dies then one of the aeromotive pumps which are E85 safe. Running aftermarket ems and 850cc delphi injectors, i should look up how much i can flow with 850cc injectors on E85. Figure if i have the chance atm to get the car ready for E85 so i can use it at some point (dual tunes) i may as well do it, but there isnt much to it on our cars is there? Just pump and the rubber lines (debatable, but safe than sorry right?), injectors and thats about it other than typical supporting stuff.

Some more food for thought.
 
One thing that is rarely discussed in regards to e85 is fuel temp. Your mixtures can vary up to 15%, based on the temp of your fuel. V8 supercars run a fuel temp correction on their tune, to allow for this.
 
For most, this would not come into much of an effect, but when you start getting into higher power figures, and particularily if you start pushing closer to the limits of the fuel, it is a wise thing to consider.

Good point if your planning on running full E85. To have some correction on an older standalone you'd have to add a fuel temp sensor and add a bit of circuitry to the IAT input maybe.
 
We really need to look at this whole E concept from two perspectives..
Stock ECU's running mixes for power gains, and
Standalones running 100% E85 for track use.. there's a large gap between the two.

I might take a tiki tour tonight down to Marsden and fill up on some E85. Ive got just under half a tank so I'll fill up just past 3/4 with 98 and then the rest on e85. Will report back my findings. I'll have a towtruck on standby.

Hahaha!  James,
is that in case the engine blows..or the car slides into the nearest power pole with all that boost lol.

In case the engine blows :D I'm keen to test out these engine mounts. I've always had dramas getting into 4th from the top of 3rd :P

Well what can I say....I'm going to invest in a drum of this stuff I think. Filled up with 98 which only went up to just over halfway. Put 6L of E85 in and drove around for a bit. No difference in idle or around town performance/driveability. Came along Wembley Rd and ripped it. Felt good but wasn't overly impressed. So went to the M1 and launched it in 2nd on the onramp - boosted to 17psi!! Was picking up speed that quick that by the time I had snatched 3rd the speedo was still rising while I wasn't accelerating. 3rd pulls very hard and very smooth. Powerband still dropped off quite sharply around 6-6.5k but I think that may be attributed to not enough fuel being supplied which I should be wary of with lean AFR's and that much boost.
Very impressed though and definitely wanting to experiment further with this bioflex stuff.

welcome to the addiction :D
