The injectors play no part in the performance. It would be same 0-60 time with stock injectors at 6.2 psi.

0-60 times are heavily dependent on launch, and not a very accurate indicator of transient response or boost threshold.

Had friends in the car(2 actually, pretty big guys..160&180lbs), launched fairly ok, they timed it was around 5.2-5.8ish. But of course times vary depending different factors.

91 octane, stock exhaust manifold, casual low RPM start, granny shift - 5968 ms

Haven't timed high RPM launches yet.

anyone know what RON E75 equates to? Google says approx 100 but i cant be sure.

From http://ethanolrfa.3cdn.net/dd9e74ce1..._rbm6bdgh3.pdf

Octane: A minimum octane for E85 is not specified. FFV’s
can tolerate the lower octane of gasoline i.e. 87 (R+M)/2.
There is no requirement to post octane on an E85 dispenser.
If a retailer chooses to post octane, they should be aware that
the often cited 105 octane is incorrect. This number was
derived by using ethanol’s blending octane value in gasoline.
This is not the proper way to calculate the octane of E85.
Ethanol’s true octane value should be used to calculate E85’s
octane value. This results in an octane range of 94-96 (R+M)/
2. These calculations have been confirmed by actual octane
engine tests.

It looks like your RON number of 100 would be fairly close, but it's important to note that the actual octane rating of an ethanol based fuel doesn't really mean much to us. You can do things with ethanol that you can't do with a gasoline fuel at the same octane rating. You will never ever see 96 or even 105 octane gasoline powering a 2 liter turbo engine at over 40 lbs of boost and 900 horsepower, but I've seen it done with E85.

I'd love to go for a quick spin with you in your car some day. I've yet to ride in a turbo twin, and I'm pretty sure PTuning will be the kit when the day comes.

I don't plan on heading out that way in my car, but if you're in my town feel free to hit me up :-)

I just got a new fancy camera and can't wait to get some better footage. Heading out to the track again Tuesday; @midnight23 @Moetivegt86 if you want to join in too lets go.

Damn, I'm so lazy. I actually live in OC man, I just haven't updated my profile.

What are these plans you speak of?? (new guy in town...)

If you're twiddling your thumbs I'm heading out in 30min to go do some logged pulls if you want to tag along and press buttons on my computer for me you're welcome to - PM if so.

Going to a local track. It's a glorified Kart track but its quick, easy and cheap to test and practice. I'm still dialing in tire pressure, spring rate, etc... Adams Motorsports Park in the 951/909 zip code. It's arrive and race on Tuesday evenings.

I would've taken you up on that, but beer... Next time for sure. I'm an excellent button presser.

I'll look into Tuesday night though.

My car is currently sitting at PTuning pending turbo install.

[Blizzz]

Just drove down yesterday from Massachusetts to leave the car for the turbo install. Really nice shop and nice folks. Can't wait to get it back and do a good write up for you guys. So far so good, just waiting on JDL to get PTuning a header for me and the surgery begins.

Hey guys, just curious what oil you guys are running with the kit.
I'm currently running Motul Eco 5-30w oil. Thinking of trying Amsoil 5w-30 next.
