20ve with Calum ecu and E10 90Octane Fuel?
Well in Jamaica we were already not getting good enough fuel - 90 octane at best.

Now we dont have straight 90 octane anymore - E10 90.

They claim: E10 is a fuel mixture of 10 per cent ethanol and 90 per cent gasoline and is typically rated as 2 to 3 octane higher than regular gasoline.


But I am worried as I my car is not stock since I am using a chipped ecu. Calum basic.

Anyone here using E10 blend fuel in there SR20/16ve?

Will I need to re-tune?

Thanks.

Peace

We have 98 RON fuel in NZ which is "up to 10% ethanol" and I use it a bit (stock VZ-R) with no problems but as far as optimal tuning is concerned you could probably get more out of it with the 10% ethanol. I don't think it will hurt you a great deal.

I asked the dyno shop that I use (Torque Performance) and they said they've found that the 10% blend typically leans out mixtures by around 0.5 AFR. Dyno tests on my mate's 414kW GTR showed that once the mixtures were richened back up to the correct level, he was able to feed in more timing and gained 10kW.

If your tune is conservative then it'll be fine.
