Been doing some dyno work this week.





Got the standardish engine we used for racing mapped properly, then switch it over to E85.



Not bad

Nice.

What, if any, internal mods have you done? I take it it's an EW10J4

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

No internal mods on this engine, just throttle bodies and exhaust.

Why didn't you start with an MI16?

Ok, let me know when you develop a turbo set-up for it as I might convert my 206 to 4wd from a BX Gti but it'll need a bit more than 180bhp!

I'm going to rally it when I get my finger out and buy a replacement road car. I cba going down the imprezza route, as everyone does it. Plus, a 206 is easy enough to convert to 4x4 if you lnow how.

100% E85 or a mix ( i know E85 is 15% petrol)

We've experimented with 20% E85 on the skyline. Could run a lot more advance, but we were hitting a wall with the power Boost was up, torque was up but the gains were getting minimal for the boost. Need to sort out the bottle neck / problem before trying again.

We still run 10-20% just as an octane booster though
