on E-85 gas, thats interesting,or did i miss understand you
Anyone with standalone or at least programmable fuel and forced induction should give E-85 a shot. It works out to about 104 octane, but costs about as much as regular.
Additionally, E-85 burns cooler and seems to have some other non-octane related detonation resistance.
Boosted cars do especially well on E-85.. you can run significant additional boost and additional spark advance.
Note - this is just what I've read. I've got no direct E-85 experience. But given that we are ND/MN residents, where E-85 is most prevalent.. everyone here with forced induction and good fuel control should give it a shot.
Other notes - unless you've got at least 30% headroom in your injectors, you'll need bigger ones, as E85 requires more fuel per combustion event (10:1 AFR instead of 14:1 for normal gas)
If you learned nothing from this - remember the key take away - E85 is government subsidized 104 octane race gas you can get anywhere in the midwest.

I know that aint a 5.0L
in my cat of course it is, xjhead's probibly isnt but that doesnt matter im interes in cam lift, duration, overlap, combustion chamber, head flow rate, rocker ratios, and of course HORSEPOWER.

Congrats on the ride xj. Cant wait to see it around town. Where did you get your turbo kit? O and just to let everyone know.........i have a 5.0.......no poser here and no cocky son of a @#$%! either. I have to say.......Damn josh i think you pissed them off.
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -

Well I guess this wastegates are too small, Andy had some big time boost creep with it tonight.. Shot up to 17 psi at 5500 rpm pretty quick with 9 lb. springs in it. I guess sunday is outDeltagates for ya! @ least you dont have their BOV too, cuz it only holds about 10psi.

Overnight some Tial 38mm's.

Deltagate = pure crap
Theres a reason its cheaper than other wastegates ... you get what you pay for. Tial is what most people run, I'd never trust my motor to a deltagate, ugh.
egg07-02-2003, 04:00 PM
i agree, notice that ebay has millions of these for sale. deltagates are known for boost creep.
Victorious07-02-2003, 04:12 PM
Yeah John, the turbos on det's have internal wastegates, and the deltagate is an external wastegate.
As noted before, deltagates are prone to boost creep. And they need to be taken apart and cleaned like every three months.
I suggest you just run a TIAL 35 or 38mm. The protech manifold is flanged to fit either wastegate.
and while we are at it we need to get rid of that turbo and hook you up with a more effecient one.

I popped a motor with a deltagate. 9psi spring.. spiked about 17psi on me at a 130mph blast down the freeway.

I know of 3 people personally that have lost engines to Deltagates.............. Travis, Quickzeek and JBanach77
Roll the dice if you like...... it's only a matter of time

Well.. SOMEONE had to beat up on that Cobra...

I 2nd that Delta crapers blow. I was tryin to tune a GSR on the dyno one day and it was suppose to be a 6psi srping.... nope call it more like 9psi spike. Lucky he had all the supporting mods and a PFC.

Bump.Anyone got deals on a tial?
choaderboy202-22-2006, 06:40 PM
Deltagate MK II P/N 10101Is this the standard wastegate that usually comes with some dets?
&
Would it be suitable for a t3/t04b w/ protech mani setup?
Deltagate=crap. Get the new Turbonetics progate, works really well.

Nice bump of a 2.5 year old thread.C

yeah, e85 is nice, I heard a story of an evo guy with a large turbo deleting the intercooler and with just e85 fuel and 217+ degree intake temps he saw no knock. I think you'll be ok. But e85 requires anodization of aluminum or steel parts because it corrodes Al.

my buddy's low 11 second s/c mustang would not run on e85, no matter how he tuned it. tried for 3 or 4 months w/ no luck, and this guy is as smart w/ a motor\puter\tuning as anyone i've met.... not sure the reason it didn't work, but it didn't
Fvckin machine took my quarter

Just needed a trip to Andy.
Andy has e85 down to a science. -
Sweet man thanks I know both me and shawn want to run boosted motors and i just want to get as much research done as possible.
