yep you'll need 2.5 times the fuel as petrol!

E85 is about 1.5 time more than petrol...... this will also mean you'll need suitable feed pump too!

another option is methanol/water injection, helps with this cooling thing ..... or for cool factor go a 50-100HP shot of NOS .... will give massive inlet cooling effects and instant power increase, but also is not the cheapest thing in the long run!

Chinese turbo, methanol, the 1 injectors and vsv (vlad special vehicles ) tune and u can sit on rev limiter all day ! If motor blows just put all the good gear on next $100 special

OK so methanol and ethanol are out. Too expensive.
Methanol water injection would be a good idea could trigger that to push in at 90% TPS value to help cool shit down.

Yeah HQ............cheap China turbo for the win. Or lose depending if it was made on a bad day and how shitly it is balanced.

Nice Fuel Cell in the boot remove the tank would be a good idea too. So that when teh tyres go boom no steel belts would be flicking around at the tank/filter etc.

There is a little bypass hose that goes straight from the intake manifold to the water pump, block this off so that all coolant has to go through the radiator. I did this mod on my old VN and when the thermo fan kicked in it pulled the temps down quicker than with that hose fitted.

that bypass is what keep the stat open, close it off and the engine overheats because the stat never sees flow to open it in the first place and the water in the block also doesn't circulate without it. Of course different story if the stat is removed.

or you could get really technical and have it work on tps and rpm

The early VN has the 4 way heater tap so even when that little bypass hose is removed coolant still circulates through the block. I ran it like that for a few years, never had any issues with it at all. Heated up quicker from a cold start, cooled down faster when you had airflow. Was a win-win for me.

better sort out a car. lol. another one. better get rid of the hilux first LOL

do a v6 conversion is it, problem solved!

Turbo the hylux and delco it, could b done by Sunday arvo ! Torque turns tyres, it's already V8
