E85?

[Halon]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but last year when Kyle ran that 11.1 or whatever it was on E85, he was running an SC61 with stock lines, and a single Walbro 255HP. And I think they mentioned he was pretty much at his limits there. But that is still a decent amount of power that fuel setup was handling.

*Bump.

Why don't somebody with the knowledge talk their asses off on the Pros and Cons of running E85 on a Forced Induction vehicle? I still have some questions, persay does it run any hotter/cooler?

Somebody talk talk talk and Sticky Sticky Sticky.:Misc.block:

It runs cooler. It cools the intake charge temps, it cools the EGT temps, it can lower your coolant temps a little.

That's what I wanted to know right there, talking with some buddys about e85 they had stated it runs damn hot and it is pretty bad on the engine. I think I may try my ways with it.

Hey does anyone know if I can run both Prem(93) and e85 using DSMLINK and say 880's? Or would it be too much on 880's/e316G? Or too little I meant.

You can run 880's on a link with 93 octane.

I hope your "buddies" don't help you work on your car as well :scared:

Erm, I work on my own. I can yell and spazz out in ease and not look like a psycho.

I was just wondering if I could run both gases, but now that I think about it, why not just run e85 if it runs cooler and possibly am able to get more powah out of it..

If you have link, then have two tunes one for E85 and one for 93, but if your trying to mix the fuels and have a consistant tune then have fun, maybe im wrong but that seems like it would be a pain to tune and keep consistant

[ExTREME]

Yeah, I have link and was going to make 2 tunes. 1 for each. But I think I may just go straight e85. I just tried to make everything more difficult, as usual. Thanks guys.

I just finished tuning a 2.3L stroker evo with a 61mm on it on "dual tunes".

He has a daily driver E85 tune and a "limp home" 93 octane mode when he can't find E-85.

I would recommend something like that. Like mentioned above, blending gasoline makes for very inconsistant power and tuning.

swanny did you set that up on a switch, or is a laptop required to make the changeover?
