@alexeiwoody has a set of Rota Gravels with tyres for sale so I would hit him up. If you need any info on H6 related things hit me up!

I like your plans mate, interested to see how this goes!
For E85 the DW65c is too small in terms of reliability as the pump would need to be run with higher duty cycle for longer. The DW300 is the equivalent of Kobe 340lph and would be better suited. I myself have the Kobe 340 and it was a breeze to install, took 2 hours even with farting around...
P.s. Did i see you around the Frankston area yesterday?

If you are running E85 on an otherwise normal H6, then the 340 may cause erroneous figures.
flat6estate is running a 340 and since fitting it his fuel figires are out.

Damn...
Does the car actually drink normally after a retune? BillyCorgi is it just the fuel regulator reading incorrect and doesn't affect the actual fuel economy its just incorrect, e.g reading high when it actually isnt?
Actually car is actually reading high already, i find it spikes up to 17.8.... then drops down to around 15-14. Havent personally seen it lower than 13.8. Still managing to get around 450kms on a tank though.
I think i may need to do a upper engine clean on it as i dont think the previous owner had done one...
Any solutions to fixing the issue when fitting the 340 or just leave it?

Keep in mind that just because you've changed your fuel pump to a higher flowing one does not mean that your fuel pressure has changed, nor does it mean your injector duty cycle has changed. Injector duty cycle will be increased when going to E85.
Matt (Kido) also has the ability to correct the fuel gauge so that its scaled correctly. This has been done to my car

applegeek897 wrote:Power gain IMO yes, the place I really noticed it was WAY more low end torque and throttle response. I am VERY lucky to get over 300, basically never happens, then again my car was also fairly shit on 98 and its a VERY used engine. Plus all my driving is urban and drive it hard.
