E85

[LightningGSX]

Actually the more data I read on E85, the more its becoming apparent that on a turbo vehicle, you can easily INCREASE fuel economy, while increasing power output as well.

Would you care to elaborate on increasing the fuel economy Eric? I have done a lot of research on this too, but I haven't seen anything to support that, yet.

[LightningGSX]

Check the papers/reports on the Ethanol Vehicle Challenge(EVC).There were a few over the years, they consisted of around 14 university teams.Nearly all the teams suceeded in increasing power output, and up to 3/4 of them succeeded in increasing MPG as well(via forced induction), one team showed a 20% increase in economy, while still showing an increase in power.They go over the technical aspects pretty well also.

There are a few SAE papers on the subject that contain real world info/results also, not free though.

Heres a good one

Would this ever be a practical upgrade? Or are you just looking in to it out of interest?

Check out this paper, a few years old but definitely interesting: http://www.deh.gov.au/atmosphere/ethanol/publications/review-non-automotive/index.html

Holy OLD ASS THREAD BATMAN.

Damn if you thought this one was old, you missed the "Sick" thread I brought back from December of 2003.

maybe old, but I'm still curious if Lightening has had any more progress with this. Very interesting.
