How do you think I got my left elbow rehab'd from when I shattered it

 

that was from when you were riding shotgun when i was driving...

 

Cool man. Now stick a smaller pulley on there and really have some fun!

Edit: Oh wait nevermind. Sorry, thought you had the TVS... Didn't you have one?

 

ah my car will be up and running today on e85 need to hurry and order my 2.7 tho

 

TVS w/ 2.7 + 80's + E85? What are you going to do about running out of fuel?

 

he is stock blower at the moment i believe

 

Thats nasty that you stayed with the tvs...im going 2.6 now plus ported=tvs eater lol haha

 

Oh. I'm just gonna leave this thread. I can't get it right.

 

dumb post

 

No ****. E85 stoich is 9.7, but got a question for ya. Do you know how a wideband sensor works?? The wideband reads lambda, the digital readout is a representation of what the Lambda equates to stoich for gasoline. If E85 9.7 = 1.00 lambda, and gasoline 14.7 = 1.00 lambda, so what happens when you shoot your maf cal sky high to make the guage read 14.7? Your 14.7 readout is the 1.00 lambda. It's all in the math.

 

Hi, back again. Did you leave your stoich at 14.7? Or change it to 9.7? Or perhaps somewhere in between?

Thank you

 

lol i feel a bit dumb now, thanks. I never mess with alcohol or ethanol, was under the impression that it had to be lower on the readout as well

 

m62 here til i get all of it out that i can then tvs nxt yr

 

i was under the same impression in the beginning, until i made a call to some fell corn heads here in town.

doh!

plus paul yaw gave me some needed inside info on running it properly

 

My tune is the same as my gas tune, other than my PE is 11.5 (instead of 12.2) and my maf cal is 30% or more higher

Thanks for the help Area

 

not a problem


p.s. i am back in the corn game with some new toys

 

 

don't be jealous. as tree huggy hippy time go earth your ******* state is. i am surprised you guys don't have e85 out there

 

Be careful when quoting E85 AFRs. You shouldn't be running anywhere near 11.6 AFR on E85. If so you are lean by about 40% or so. You should try reading in lambda instead and getting yourself familiar with that. 11.6 nets you at about .79 lambda, which is a tad lean for E85 at 7.7:1. Try to richen it up closer to .76 or so (7.3:1) and I bet she makes some more power. E85 is not like gasoline in that aspect. Richer will actually produce more power. The only down side is the richer you go, the more fuel/injector you need. Even the ID 1000cc injectors on my car can barely keep up with that on the returnless system. Just food for thought for the E85 noobs. A return fuel system and the ID 1000cc is a sure fire way to have enough fuel on E85 and to make sure you aren't idling at 6.8:1 AFR because the injectors misfire below 1.3ms. I think even Area47 switched off from them because of this exact issue.

 

Thanks for the info SDz. I've been trying to dial it back in, and as of last night, it was 11.4 which is 0.775. Anyone else have issue w/ every other time the car is ran, the idle surges? It is exactly every other time I run the car.

 

Yeap. I've adjusted my idle timing and idle speed a bit and made it better but the surge is still there. I also have an issue with running out of fuel after 6500 rpm. I will be purchasing ZZP's BRFPS to resolve both issues.

Also, for reference, I've been commanding .77 lambda at wot.

 

Lol I only know of like one station an hour and a half away, you're right there should be more.

 

i switched back because i "was" out of fuel pump. not any more however. when on e85, i run a stoich of 10.4.

 

Have you found out why it was recommended to you to use this as your stoich yet? I'm wondering if you are doing this because you are not tuning based on lambda. Otherwise, what is the advantage one way or the other? It seems to me that if you dial your car in to run lambda -- 1.0, then it really makes no difference what your stoich AFR is.

Somebody please smack me if I'm wrong here.

 

It would make sense to run at 10.4 stoich if you are running like E70? Is this how you over came your issue with fueling?
