Tell your friend to go watch fast and the furious again and leave the advanced modifications to the people that know what they are doing.

 

haha yea... he's a mechanic though thats all but i figured it really cant hurt since it burns so low of a temp and this guy hasn't ever dealt with e85 either. either way jms theres no horror stories, i'm no expert obviously

 

E85 is amazing

 

seems like it! getting my 80#'s today hopefully! just gotta put in my phelonic spacer, get a dual pass, plug in wideband and get toooned!

 

Ull nvr wanna go back to premium again lol

 

Yeah pump gas sucks. My car will see nothing but e85 for the rest of its life.

 

only things i'm worried about are rouh starts, low mileage and the fact that i have to be sure theres e85 near me everywhere i go but yea im pretty sure i'm gonna love this stuff

 

I DD mine no issues snd only 2 stations in my area and i rarely get rough starts

 

excellent. ima start a e85 mileage thread just to see

 

My dynotune is in 3 hours! Ill post the results tonight.

 

if you're setting your stoich to 10.0 or 9.75, or 9.88, you're an idiot. "well they told me this was the stoich of e85" no, not even close. "i tested it with a test and it said 85%" again. no.

read and learn kids.

Injector Dynamics - Alcohol Article

here is a question lesson for you. run your car empty on fuel. fill it up. log the fuel trims. do some simple math and see what number you come up with. if you're maf i anywhere close to where it is supposed to be. you will see something fun happen. take your stoich commanded afr and divide by the percentage of the fuel trims. what commanded afr do you come up with after this?

hmmmmm?

 

Well With my mods, I got 267whp and 247 wtq it pulls real hard!

 

those mods are?!

 

X2^

 

Longtube header, 2.8 pulley, 80# injectors, Front Mount Heat exchanger, ZZP intake, ZZP dyno tune.

 

this^^^

 

Figured it would be worth posting in here

hate to say it to ya bud, there is a hidden fail in this. over a certain amount of time there will be a film build up that can not be removing by simple solvents. for some stupid reason gasoline takes it off with ease. more or less the by products that are left in the tank and get picked up by the ethanol. so every 6 months or so, run a two tanks of gasoline through the system to clear this mess out.

 

This presents itself as a pain for those who dont have access to hp tuners and can tune themselves for this change. maybe if ZZP comes out with a table to adjust timing based on ethanol content it would be simpler.

 

there is a lot more than just a timing adjustment. you also have to adjust the stoich afr, and sometimes the maf scaling if it's not dead on

 

hahaha you just made my point. I dont know anything about tuning so for me to switch to 93 is a 5-600 ordeal. whereas for you it would be no big deal due to your expertise in tuning. That is almost the price of hp tuners... It would almost make sense for me to buy it and learn a bit about tuning so i can do this and possibly switch it for long trips.

 

I've wondered if something like this occurs with E85. Thanks for the info.

 

hmm..
ive been on e for over a year now with no fuel system related issues.

 

I know you are a knowledgeable member and so is blazzin but can you elaborate? Link some articles? I am not calling bullsh!t just I have never read anything about that in all my googling. I even know italianjoe personally and have never heard anything about that even when he tuned me a couple months ago. Just cause I bought some seafoam last week can the fuel system be "cleaned" with something like that or anything off the shelf? Would there possibly be and bad effects from using something like that either by dumping it in the tank or sucking through the vacuum line?

 

I have a question. I will be putting on a TVS this winter, if I go with E85 then I would go with 80# injectors, if for some reason they drop E in my area, can I stay with the 80's on meth with no idle problems ect??
