I love that leave in the parts where you’re learning things and don’t try to make it seem like everything always goes smoothly and building a car is a process that real people can take this stuff on. And you do it all with an awesome sense of humor. Thanks man,
Ayo Bruh , when is the 100km/h-- 200Km/h 62-125mph video coming along? been really fun to watch you build that beast, and it being on a stock block with aftermarket headstuds, it seems to be holding pretty well! keep it up
Damn man this thing is a beast!! I’ve been following your build since day 1. It’s what made me turbo mine lol. I pretty much have the same build. What did you have to do to go e85? I’ve been on the fence about it, mainly because e85 is hard/far to get around me.
If you do it, have a flex fuel sensor or a way to read ethanol content on the fly. I had a built Evo 9 on corn juice and it made almost 800 whp, but I was like you. Didn’t have it readily available, and got what I could. Not running a good ethanol caused a detonation issue that lifted my head and had coolant and combustion gasses exit so quick it grooved the head. E85 is awesome, but if you do it, do it right. Flex fuel is the way to go.
Thank you man and I didn't have to do anything other than swap the ECU. I already had the pump and injectors to support since I knew I'd go this route eventually
That thing looks rowdy ! I got a dyno appointment Tuesday, maybe we can get a run in sometime after, do a little Turbo vs LS comparison lol, and you can maybe get an estimate on how much power it’s making
lambda for e85 is 9.8:1. I think your afr should be a lot lower. It all depends on the ethanol content. You really need a lambda gauge for e85. I don't think pump e85 is going to cut it unless you have a flex fuel tune. I hope it holds together for you.
First thing, don't mix up lambda and stoichiometric ratio, very different things. Don't mix up AFR vs lambda either. Second thing the actual lambda is a value where 1 means the ratio between air and fuel is stochiometric, above one is leaner, below one is richer. Stoichiometric ratio is always 1, no matter the fuel, remember, it's an oxygen sensor. It measures the amount of oxygen left in the exhaust, not the amount of fuel, therefore the lambda value is entirely independent from the type of fuel, 1 stays stoich, below stays rich, above stays lean, doesn't change the lambda value. Third thing common AFR gauges like AEM or Innovate simply display an interpretation of the lambda value into an AFR value, to make it more readable by most people. Thing is to convert lambda to AFR and have it accurate to the type of fuel the gauge has to be calibrated to the type of gas you're using, otherwise it's using the wrong conversion table. That's where the "problem" lies (not an actual problem really) most AFR gauges are calibrated for gasoline AFR. To give an example, let's say you have a car running E85, and it's at idle running a perfect stoichiometric ratio, of 9.76:1 since we're on e85, so the sensor reads a lambda value of 1, as said previously stoich is always 1 in lambda values. But the gauge is calibrated for gas AFR, so it interprets the lambda value of 1 as being 14.7:1, which is the stoich value for gas. It doesn't cause any problems and most tuners choose to work this way and use gas afr calibrated gauges and wideband controllers even when tuning e85. The only thing is that you need to tune it as if it was on regular gasoline, you still chase the same AFR targets, since your sensor displays gas AFR, and not chase the actual E85 values, because if you tune it to 9.76:1 with a gas calibrated gauge you're at 0.66 lambda, which in real E85 AFR is 6.44, meaning you're basically flooding your engine. I know it's a difficult concept to grasp, so here's a few links : ftyracing.com/tech/lambda-afr-table/ www.motortrend.com/how-to/1711-explained-the-difference-between-lambda-and-afr/ Also that being said, below 700hp, apart from really high compression builds, having over 60% of ethanol content is gonna suffice, as long as tuned right with enough richness margin to compensate for fluctuations in content. 11.9AFR on a gas calibrated gauge for a 400-500hp e85 build is mint.

"Let me put these windows up real quick" Damn Black you didn't have to flex on us E36 guys like that.
Been waiting on this vid! Stoked for you!
I felt this 🤣
Hearing it bang off the limiter @11:32 was raw af 😮
Good to see your well, not seen you for ages!!!! and ebony is just getting better every time 👊🏻 respect bro

Thanks man,
I missed you man 🥲 good to have you back
That first reaction at 8:50 after the first hit was what I’m talking about! Awesome stuff.
8:46 Cars are one of the very few things that can make me react like this too lol
Yessir much needed turbo and corn are good friends.
Boost season has loaded! Man that's awesome! Your reactions 🤣 priceless.
Yooooo that e85 though nice!!! Getting ready to boost my E36 too now I know to go straight to that E85 setup!!! Congrats!!! :-)
Good to see u went E85, that’s what mines been on even though I literally have 2 e85 stations around lol worth it, mopowababy
Well that looked like fun hahaha! Good to see you back, merch is dope!
Hooray! Peak season can piss off! Boost season is here!
Sounds Amazing. Congrat black 👏👏👏 can't wait to see what's in store next.
That steering wheel is badass. ❤
‘Blow the fuck up? Fuck it” love to see it. Love the attitude. I definitely need the new merch
Love it. Turbo E36 build looking so fun to drive
GYATT DAMN!! Hope to see this car get more screen time!
It’s about time cuhh
Definitely worth the wait!
Sounds amazing! Judging by reaction it’s working as it should 😂😂 great work bro!
What an insane E36 love your reaction when sending it haha
Ebony is the GOAT!!!
Did you tune the car on obd1 and if so what company did you go with for the tune! Currently building mine and need a tune! Thanks
301 before probably 380-405 now tbh. 6 more lbs of boost plus e85. Man that things hell. Happy to see it didn’t blow

The kansei go hard 🔥
Happy new year bro
Hellnya bro. Welcome to the club. NOW your doin it right 🤙
Couldn't be happier!
@@itsBlack my man said. “Holy shiiittt 💦 “ 😂😂
Your reactions are priceless, shout out to your man in the chair(tuner)🔥💯💯
peak szn at ups is so draining. Glad you got outta there, I need to do the same fr
Love the seats man! Are those factory or pulled from another chassis? 🛞❤️
It's same chassis just had them redone
@@itsBlack They look so good for the car.👌🏾
Peak season is finally over
Cant wait to make my e36 fast!!! Good job!!!
So jealous man sounds insane
Feels like it too 🤣
🔥 🔥
It's got the juice
GOOD SHYT🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

14psi on e85 your around 400 wheel
About time…
I’m smiling along with you. Think I’ll find some ethanol this weekend 🌽 😎

@@imnota thanks. I didn't know gauges calculate lambda and convert. Makes sense.
14.7 on a gas afr is lambda 1 which is 9.8 afr e85. Some just have the air fuel monitor show lambda to eliminate confusion.
Did you ever fix the HG on this thing or are you still rocking that sealant?
Nope still sending it on the sealant 💀
@@itsBlack I like your style.. full send
Man, I can’t wait to turbo my m42…
Do stock e36 fuel lines handle e85 well? I thought they would disentagrate
Nah they are fine. I talked to someone that's been e85 for 2 years on stock lines. 90% of the line is metal
What engine are you using?
A stock M52 with head studs
Try closing your mouth when you're building boost
you need to dyno this beast now lol
bro almost got flown out the seat 😭
E85 should have gained 30 to 70 whp with the tune.
Bro use fueltech injection and your problems solve a lot"
Is this still on the blue devil sealer? Lol
Yes lol
@@itsBlack so cool lol I'm in a similar situation lol boosted e46 blew the headgasket and used bars sealer and it's working great
