90-100 days, and that is in general. When in an area where 100% humidity is common for long periods of time (I'm talking to you Northwesterners!) it would be considerably less.

Interestingly, this is another reason why Nation-wide E85 mandatory consumption is a dream, and a stupid one at that.

If water saturation occured as fast as that article claims the tunes on our cars would reflect the changes. Misfires, erratic AFR, etc. Since it doesnt happen I would presume the turnover on fuel is sufficiently fast to make saturation a relative non issue. We keep 550 gallons on hand at the shop and dont go through it as fast as a station would and have no issues.

Not too mention they are only talking about e10. E85 should be a lot worse if ethanol was as bad as these people say. I see stuff all the time about how horrible ethanol is yet I have run it for YEARS with not a single instance of problem due to ethanol. I have yet to even see the dreaded gunk with easily 50K+ miles driven on e85.

Hmmm. I dont know that I put stock in racegas being non compatible with ethanol. We have done sufficient testing to see that Q16 mixes with E very well. We have also used MS109 (unleaded) with very similar results. Watching knock voltage in both stock ECU and AEM cars we havent seen sufficient increase in probable events when mixing.
Q16 is MON 117 as is E98, and we have mixed it E50 this way to extend a taxed fuel system without any issues.

same numbers trust me, but his setup is only taking 12* uptop so i guess i spoke to soon. anything past 12 and hes over mbt. never seen that low before with e85. so i dont think its gonna beat your HP, it will torque tho. but you are running less timing on purpose down there to keep the torque down so you got him beat both ways.

ya it spools fast as hell and gives slightly more power then stock 9 turbo.. so ya its not bad. seeing what it does on this guys setup at 36psi..
but if R/Ternie put a fp black on his car he would run well over 600WHP so i just think its a waste considering you can spool a black by 4100rpm on a 2L with perfect AFR at spoolup.
or a red or a bbk-b or a hta green.. so many more options that pack more heat imo. but yes i understand its ball bearing and it will respond faster then a journal bearing.

I'm very pleased with the car.
I just blew the headgasket on my dodge neon (surprise!)... so I may not make it to the dyno this weekend since I need to rebuild the 2.4L that's going in. oh wells. I'm getting my other Neon up and running for the winter, storing the Evo for the next week or so, and pulling the engine/trans out of the R/T.
