I dont think your car will run on e85. I have heard of people filling up with this stuff thinking there car would run on it cause its cheaper then regular gas, and cars wouldnt even start.

 

You can run E85 but you have to convert. Buschur has an E85 conversion they do.

 

ah cool. CAn you run both then?? They dont sell e85 around here at all. Only place I have seen it is on dana ave, I think its only for metro busses

 

I run a big 25 psi spike on pump that tapers to around 23 or so. It rolls out.

You can buy E85 at the Kroger in Hyde Park for sure, and some of the other Kroger fuelling stations. There will be more and more of these popping up as time goes on. There are lots of them in the actual midwest.

And no you can't just pump in some E85 and drive away, you have to tune for it. You don't need a conversion kit or anything, you just need some big injectors and a re-tune. Like I said I am going to dial in the car on pump gas first and save that tune, then empty the tank and fill with E85 and start tuning all over again. I'm running 18 degrees of timing right now on 25 psi and it is pretty fast, but I think it will be flying on 25 psi with 24 degrees.

You burn close to 30% more fuel on the E85 so you need at least a 780cc injector. I got the 880s for added headroom.

 

0.1% alcohol in your blood will make the car a lot more fun than 85% in the tank!

Touche`

 

don't forget you will need to replace your fuel lines (eventually) since e85 will eat through the lines...

 

No it won't, those are just rumors. The flex fuel vehicles don't have any fancy parts and they don't regularly replace anything.

 

So is anyone going to Putnam with me this weekend - with or without the E-85? The Forge brake duct kit install is almost done, really the only change for this weekend. I'm going to try and set another track record, so keep your fingers crossed!

 

Are they even going to Grattan? You can't register for the event and it is only 3 weeks away. WTF


**Edit**

I just checked the schedule and you can register now. I have to decide if I am going to do one day or two...

 

Mitsu brake air guides for sale. On the car less than a year, one must have gotten hit at some point, and the lower half of it snapped off. There is a designed breaking point on these so they don't get ruined. Make me an offer...

 

Here's the problem with my car. Broke the RS diff into 4 pieces!!

 

You can't really tell by the pics..but it is split into 1/4's

 

Maybe you could get a cryo treated one to replace it. That might be a little stronger.

 

WOW...good job Eli....see those 5k launches finally caught up to you. J/K

If you find more LSD's cheap....hook a brother up. I want one in my car too.
