Yep, fucking useless video :/

Not sure whats going on at the start though - sounds like the thing is just smashing the limiter and old mate has some steering lock on, but he's not 'steering' like you do when the back tyres are smoking....I suspect he clutched it and he thought he was getting fully sick wheelspin (bro) but he was actually smoking the clutch. Flywheel doing a million rpm then got to a million degrees and flew apart.

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

The first time he pops the clutch it didn't slip, then he did it again and it slipped. That's they aids thing about button clutches, they get so farking hot, and blow shit up. An explosion proof bellhousing looks appealing after seeing that!

It had a GT 4508 last year, didn't get a look at the engine this year.
Saw XRCIST on the track, I was in another black BA turbo out there Friday and Saturday, fuckin awesome fun. We beat quite a lot of cars out there too with 'only' 420hp, including a mates purple VE clubby with 470 and a VN turbo 5l with 440hp, I imagine with 450kw you woulda been chomping shit all over the show.

Only thing he lost too was that Matt black BA with the sequential dog box and 650rwhp haha.

united has been smashing out e85. After (if) i run a 9, ill be swapping to it for more convenience. Ive heard good things about it. Happy to loose 5/10rwkw for more convenience. (if power is going to be lost from going the drum 85).

From what I've heard all e85 mixtures (therefore the octane ratings) from the bowsers varies a lot.. a few engine builders and dyno guys I know don't really like leaning on it for that reason, might be tuned with a drum of good fuel on the dyno but what happens when you fill up a the bowser and drop 10 octane points -_-

I wouldn't say shit, just not as good. That dohc xf just made 955rwhp on it. Caltex don't brand it as e85 either, its eflex and I think generally e70.

I'm guessing you read this information off the net or got it second hand?

Caltex have never changed their blend from E73 from memory since it rolled out.

EDIT here it is:

From Ausrotary:

Thank you for writing to Caltex. I understand your concerns and recognise that drag racing needs consistency. It's worth bearing in mind however that Bio E-Flex was specifically designed for use in original factory-made flex-fuel vehicles (fitted with flex-fuel sensors that can adjust to the level of ethanol) - hence the discord in specs to your racing requirements.

Having said all that, Bio E-Flex has been at 70% ethanol since it launched for NSW, Vic & SA. Qld has been at 73%. There has not been a change since the launch of the product.

It was a deliberate choice to use the winter blend at that time as we knew that sales would be extremely low at all sites. Hence there was a risk that some of the summer blend would still be in the tanks from the summer rolling into the winter.

It's also our first foray into the product which means that we began by making a few conservative decisions: considering this is the first relatively large-scale rollout of the product in Australia, we wanted to ensure that there were absolutely no issues with it that could possibly tarnish its reputation in the marketplace. Basically we wanted to separate it from the E10 stigma, and some regular motorists' opinion on ethanol blended fuel.

We wanted to make sure that every flex-fuel vehicle that rolled in there had no start-up or vapour pressure issues, and demonstrate that ethanol blended fuels work beautifully in engines designed to use it.

However, this does mean that cars that have been modified and tuned specifically to use E85, and do not have a flex-fuel sensor have to be very careful about measuring the ethanol content in Bio E-Flex, as you have been. We will only change the ethanol content twice a year at most.

At this stage we haven't changed the % yet as we began with the winter blend for the reasons stated above. As we grow our understanding of the fuel, and the relative sales, we should be able to better balance ethanol content with vapour pressure requirements of the flex-fuel vehicles. Please note that factory made flex-fuel vehicles cannot be tuned to use 85% ethanol in winter due to legislated tuning requirements (to minimise vehicle emissions).

So in answer to your question, it is likely that we will increase the ethanol content in summer, however I cannot guarantee that it will be 85% ethanol.

Some states including NSW and Qld, are subject to legislation that limits the maximum vapour pressure in petrol. Hence our refineries change the volatility of our petrol every year to meet these requirements. This directly impacts E-Flex, because it is blended with this petrol. If the volatility of the petrol is high, then we can use more ethanol. If it is lowered, in order to meet the legislation, then we may only be able to put in 70-75% ethanol. So as you can see, our decisions were driven by a number of factors: operability, legislative and our commitment to the success of renewable fuels in Australia.

My advice is to keep on checking the ethanol content of the fuel, again - it won't change that often. I can advise that we will not be increasing the ethanol content in E-Flex until about August and the onset of spring.
I've been told that ANDRA can only test for E85 but can't distinguish between the brands etc (yet)..

Yes that's what they say, but until now the blend hasn't ever changed (I spoke to someone at Caltex regarding this)

All i'm saying is, how do you even know how much it's going to change? (When it does)

I wouldn't say it's shit fuel either, seen people make plenty of power with it.

The difference between E73 and E85 isn't really all that much.
