Been a long while.
But I installed this second fuel tank the other day.
will be running 98 out of the stock tank and E85 out of this new one.
Running duel fuel, via the haltek ECU.
I've pretty much got everything now to set it up.
I've got the new fuel line plumbing to get to the front.
I've got the turbos, the gates,
the new dash to fit the haltek dash.
Life has gotten in the way, and haven't had time to get this completed..
Havent raced for so long now.. I'm going stir crazy..
That being said, I've been having a ton of fun in our new toy.
Of course I got the duel engine one LOL
These cars are amazing, my wife said.. (never been a car fan.) "I've never loved a car before but I love this one." LOL
happy wife happy life....
These things are insanely fast, especially being 4wd. they just grip and accelerate..
Got solar here, so we plug it in during the day.. and my wife has found all the free chargers on the GC.
So extremely cheap to run.. Our last 4cyl turbo mercedes burned $100 in fuel per week.
Half considering taking it roll racing just for fun. And since My ute's not ready, at least it will get me out there.
One thing about these cars.
If you are hammering it, you can almost see the battery drain in front of your eyes.
If you take it easy, the battery lasts forever.
Interesting for you math nerds..
My solar is 10kw.. but 8kw inverter.
The battery is 50k.
But with solar, you only get true 8wk during peak times on a sunny day for 2 hours.
so to replenish the battery from flat using our home solar charging for 2 hours per day (16kw)
50/16 = 3 and a bit days.
That's the perfect senario.
If you work during the day, you can rule that out.
If it's cloudy or raining, you can rule that out.
I didn't buy it to save the planet LOL
I bought it because they are extremely fun to drive and knew my wife would love it..
I told her how much we'd save on fuel and solar .. blah blah LOL
right now it does 0 to 60 in 4.2
I can make it 3.7 easily.. just tap on the payment button on the tesla app and pay $3k LOL
Which I'll do at some point.
So as it stands, it's probably faster than my 305 rwhp ute.
But once I get the turbos on it, the ute will be faster again.. I bloody hope hahaha
