So after a year of envying you guys with your E85 the Shell station right by my house just installed a pump and I couldnt be more excited. Since Im new to the corn fuel I wanted to know if I was good to go now for a mixture. My buddy's wrx has a Cobb tune and he's gradually weening onto the stuff. I have a custom tune, stock pump and 60's, what could I safely do right now with no other mods?

 

The smallest pulley I've been able to tune for was a 2.8 with ids of 98% if u have no pulley u r fine...

 

Ive got the 2.8, should have mentioned that

 

Depends on Ure afr at wot and it depends on aggressiveness on tune.

 

Might want to get 80s before you get crazy!

 

Lol. If you don't want to get near are max then yes get 80s..

 

Figured that'd be the deal, but Do you think I could do a 20% e85/ 80% v power as it is now? And what part of KY are you in? I might hire you for some tuning

 

Instead of buying injectors, get something like a ZZP fuel system, or even OTTP's. Money better spent.

 

Ill probably eventually get both then of course the TVS, just trying to max out the little Heaton before its replaced

 

With the fuel system upgrade, you won't need the 80# injectors.

With the TVS you will need both.

Pick your poison.

 

you can't just put e85 in your tank without an e85 tune. You can put a little bit, but what's the point? you still have your gas tune. get 80# injectors or a fuel system like frazier said. Putting e85 in your tank is not "instant power" you NEED to get the spark advance from a new tune to actually benefit, otherwise your not making any power from a mixture in your tank.

 

Im aware of that, but as the first post said the Cobb tune in the WRX can self adjust its maps if slowly introduced to the e85, apparently without any tuning or mods up to a 33% mixture

 

Im in the northern part of ky...... The issue with running e.. And driving places. Is you need to verify there's e everywhere your going.

 

the wrx is different than the ss. not sure why you mentioned this, it has a cobb tune. your ss will not adjust the maps slowly when introduced to e85.

 

Wondering if I could do the same. The consensus is no
