AU6 Flash Tune by G&D - every KW counts - Page 8

HAHA, my mates dad said if you put metho in fuel it makes it more flammable and gets rid of any water that may be in the tank..
He suggested I do it and hes fairly switched on with mechanics (builds race boats from ground up) so I thought I'll try it and yeah 'felt' like it worked lol.. but thats when I first got the car and even after cleaning the interior felt like it went better hahaha.

Oh and dont worry Glenn I wont be doing anything like this when you build my motor hahahaha.. :yeees:

Top thread! a really interesting read....I haven't been on the forums for awhile, looks like their is some pretty exciting stuff happening with the I6!

Which is all good if you own an AU!

Cool , I'll have to keep an eye out for some. Ty

Any more progress yet with mods for the vct ? ( thanks heaps G&D Performance , you have been doing an excellent job figuring out the techo stuff for us so far - keep up the good work, im sure my car will be in visiting your workshop soon ;) ).

lol as for the metho in the fuel etc etc, maybe getting a little carried away ..lol , but i can underastand how you feel about fuel quality these days, I have copped some really dodgy batches in the past in other cars , hopefully my AU won't suffer and have to choke on rubbish fuel. I think this is the only car though i have ever bothered using hi-octane/premium unleaded, i put a few $$ of normal unleaded in it once ( forgot my wallet and was nearlly out of fuel , used change in the car ) and it seemed very slugish, didnt last long either . I wont be using that again , not in this car anyway.

Stiddy
I was also advised by mechanics to use 5 percent metho to get the water out of the petrol tank of my old in-board ski boat which was constantly getting contaminated
It did work and never seemed to harm the motor as far as I could tell but I would not recomend it in a modern car without talking to an expert which I am not

Let me guess.. he had no intention of getting the cam but, while waiting for the service, he kept hearing voices in his head.

:
"you know you want it"
"more power, more power"
"we have the cams right here"
"we've gone this far...."

I can somehow totally relate to it too.. sure that place isnt haunted?

About the metho in the fuel ! - it does actually work , as petrol and water do not mix , metho helps them mix thus allowing you to use all as fuel, intead of a layer of water just floating in the tank , not something to do all the time though , just when you definatelly have water in the tank. I've never heard of it doing any damage so long as it is just used in those occasions ( once in a ble moon ) . ;)

SIKSIX · 18-03-2006, 06:04 PM

isnt metho 99% ethanol, so wont just putting in ethanol fuel like e10 fix that too?

G&D PERFORMANCE · 29-03-2006, 12:20 AM

Will be slotting a camshaft in this one shortly guys,will keep you posted on the results when all is complete

I'll get around to picking it up one day. I've been doing so much travel lately that I havent needed it so I asked if Glenn could hold onto it till about Easter and I'll come grab it then. Its a long trip from Hoppers to Cranny and lately I've been in NSW more than Vic. I think Glenn will be happy to see the back of it, hogging all his floorspace.

That's not hard to do. The minute you walk in you feel at home. Those guys are top blokes. They're genuine and they're dedicated!

Hey Guys,
Good numbers for a flash and bolt ons, what are they stock on your dyno? Are you able to FLASH E-SERIES Yet? If You need an E-Series guinnie pig I've got a couple lying around, modded and stock.

The fuel system on Fords can run out of flow in the injector and pump area quite early. Some N/A ford pumps only flow enough for 215Kw @ engine, at stock pressure. More pressure and the pumps flow less. I use a Bosch 044 as a booster pump in my N/A ford as it made around 130rwkw from 3500-5000 (when did 15.3) due to not enough pump flow, it made a difference for sure, and allows you to fit an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to up the pressure if the injectors get maxxed out.

This car was stock running on a full time dose of 98 fuel.It mad healthy power stock although being a manual did help power figures.

We'll keep an eye on the fuel systems as R&D progresses,there are some pretty good intank replacement pumps these days that will help any issues.The 044 motorsport is a great pump too,we use them often,sounds like you've been having a great time with yours.

We should have tuning options down the track for E-series if everything goes to plan but at this stage it's only AU upwards.

Regards Glenn
