E85 where can i start, first of all its csr
First of all you are incorrect right off the bat. There is a diversity in supply from over half a dozen companies, none of which is called CSR (anymore).
which is the same as sugar and basically ur putting suger in ur fuel system which clogs it up ur fuel system.
No it's not, not even derived from sugar, United use QLD sorghum near Dalby, and Caltex use NSW's Manildra (wheat flour) to distill alcohol.
it gets used alot quicker, not a big fan of it guys
It does burn more at WOT vs petrol but that is offset with thermal efficiency, something you will be familiar with owning a turbo. It also produces far more work than petrol at higher pressures, ie a GenIV 6.0 at 13:1 static on e85 returns more torque, power with less fuel than 98 force fed at 4 psi.
Is it price or perceived scarcity of alcohol that puts you off using the best fuel for your car?
normal premuim 98 and fuel additive octane booster is the trick and every few kays i go normal unleaded. which in my case i have to run 98 as its turbo.
What does 'normal premium 98' mean? Is that the normal 50¢ a litre premium shaft we get from the Saudis when we pay for 98?
That cocktail of noxious chemicals and pollutants you are using is for countries outside the Kyoto treaty which don't have e85. Such complicated, inefficient and toxic workarounds belong to the '70s era of turbocharging mass production street cars (even modified taxis in some cases) to artificially boost cylinder volume and compression without knock. Big Oil's answer to complicating a toothpick.
However in 2014 pouring comparatively low octane and thermally inefficient dino saliva and synthetic crap into your highly fuel inefficient contraption (and into our atmosphere) is quite unreasonable when you have the option to drive a high compression, high capacity V8 on e85 for less.
You realise if your car didn't utilise a bolt-on device to prop up the cylinder pressure from a deadly smoggy and inefficient (say 9:1 CR) old school taxi engine to 14.5:1 effective compression ratio, and instead simply swapped in high comp pistons for e85 then you would have more power for less money with less complication?
Of course forced induction cars run better on ethanol versus 98 but it is not the fuel that makes them inefficient. It's because they were built for the everyday driving limitations of fossil fuel in mind.
We are fortunate to have the local cheap supply chain of ethanol, why not use it in your car to make it go better?
Why do you have a problem with the conspicuous consumption of ethanol from biomass when it is better for your wallet, your car, our environment, our fuel security?
