They FINALLY started selling E85 in the valley. Whoohooooooo

 

goo fo you!
i'm runnin on chicken grease.

 

Congrats

 

What needs to be changed to run E85?

 

Bigger injectors and a tune

 

onyx! i need your help! buying a car from your dealership! pm me!

 

And the correct fuel system components to not corrode from the ethanol

 

i'd becarefull cuz ur boosted, one of the reasons why the vette ZR1 didnt go E85 was because of boost, the E85 fuel delivery couldnt meet the requirements for the supercharger. so i'd look into it a lil more.

 

There is already a guy on the forum who is running E85 in his cobalt SS. Fuel system is stock i believe except for 60lb injectors

 

what car are you putting E85 in?

 

i thought all gms would run it from the factory

 

My Redline

 

really? wow thats sweet. closest E85 place here is 35miles away.

 

you need HUGE injectors the AFR needed is like 8s or 9s

 

DWK5150 is the member on the forum who is running E85 and he's running 60's. I'll wait for him to chime in.

 

is that even safe? I heard the harsh E85 can eat gaskets and such if used on a frequent basis.

 

All talk. No proven facts. GTP and mustang guys are running E85 on non designed E85 cars for awhile with no problems.

 

question on E85. Essentially E85 I know is a high detergent gasoline/ethonal (spelling), like 100 octane in rating, on even some of the more 2005+ modern cars it shouldn't have a problem running it if you decide to pull up and pump it? I'm confused. I know that GM makes E85 octanes maps in the ECM for so called "high octane mode" for those who are equipped to supposedly run E85.

Solid proof of uses without issues down the line?

 

Bump for more info.

 

as per the owners manual ethanol fuel is compatible with the stock fuel equipment in the cobalt systems however methanol is not

 

I thought about it but there are still no stations near me!
Maybe later, then a tune. The higher octane would be sweet!

 

If you use that stuff with what you said your doing you won't have any problem. It's down the road when the components are exposed to it over time.

 

105 Octane > 91 octane

 

hmmm interesting.... subscribed

 

if this is true then i might fo grab some soon. is it really expensive? there is a station about 15 minutes from me
