Dom2 + E85
We've been chasing a fuel delivery issue on his car, we thought we had it but it was still doing it this time. However I was able to run some more boost through the car.
I'm really impressed with this 10 so far. Nothing is ported, stock cams and a 100% stock appearing turbo. Once we finally get the fuel system figured out I imagine it should gain a bit more power once I can bring back the boost up top. ( I have it currently tapering to 27psi)
2008 Evo 10 GSR
Mods:
Ultimate racing downpipe with integrated 02 housing
Ultimate racing test pipe
RRE stealth catback
DW 1000cc injectors
FuelLab Adjustable FPR
Boomba fuel rail
Aeromotive inline fuel filter
Walbro fuel pump
AMS FMIC
Ultimate Racing intake
Nisei Intercooler piping
Pierburg 3port boost solenoid
Forge wastegate actuator
Blouch Dominator 2 turbo
GST Motorsports tune (using EcuFlash)
E85
433whp / 358wtq
For reference a stock 10 puts down approx 22X whp on our dyno and this Evo put down 380 whp with the stock turbo on E85 and 320 whp on 91 oct with the stock turbo.

Great numbers.
What did you end up doing regarding the X parts that the E85 fuel was breaking down: 1) the hose in the gas tank that was turning orange and getting sticky and 2) the cotton fuel pump sock? Were there other parts that were reacting unfavorably to the E85 fuel?

Stock turbo on E85 - 27.3 psi at 3300 rpm
Dom 2 on E85 - 27.3 psi at 3800 rpm
3rd gear
Once we get the fuel problem sorted I believe it will make even more power.
Hoses in tank where replaced with multi-fuel (including E85) submersible lines

Peak boost and torque will be finalized as soon as we get the fuel system working correctly. Expect an update then.

The stock exhaust elbow is a serious restriction for two reasons: it has some tight bends and a small outlet.

Wow, that is pretty amazing.
So would you say that the Dom's seem to be holding more boost than the Red's?
Because I have not seen a Red hold that kind of boost.
You have now done Dom's and FPred's on E-85, is the Dom2 just a better wheel setup or what? Because the FPreds are supposedly 60lb/min turbos and the Dom2's are 52lb/min.
It really doesn't seem to be this way though. Your thoughts for those of us leaning towards one of these?
And if this has a bunch left then this turbo might be where i go, and port it too

I'll post a boost plot when the tune is finished.
