We are a pretty forgiving bunch, just cuz you got off on the wrong foot doesn't mean you will be shunned forever. Do an intro thread and let people get to know you more. Come to a few gatherings too, that is a great way to "fit in" better.

I wouldn't say the whole board, lol. I don't like intro threads for some reason. I'd rather get known by the people who want to get to know me, if that makes any sense. I need to fix my car before going anywhere first, like that's a big surprise, lol. Seriosly though my car is running like crap. Hopefully the wastagte comes in soon so LSE can make a few adjustments and dyno/tune it over there. I'll let you know how much I make if you're interested when I do.

Agreed, if you would have posted a more specific question originally, like "who currently has E85 running in their car, and what have been your experiences with it? I searched, but only found people that are still working on implementing it." people would have been a little more willing to help you out initially. But now that people have narrowed down what you're looking for, it's easier to give real responses.

This is why no questions ever get an answer. Someone asks a question. and 10 people tell them what a moron they are. and 3 people awnswer the question. I love the tech section.

Yeah all I did was ask a simple question, lol. I felt like it was a legitimate and simple question. People just looked at it the wrong way.

This is like one of those threads. What is faster my stock eagle talon or my friends stock Eclipse. Yet I own a 600 cc bike and my buddy has a Geo Metro. Can I take him.

Please be more specific and people will answer your questions. Play nice and people will help you. Be an ass and this will turn into a SBR thread. Get the respect of the old timers and you will have advice for life. Just don't piss any of the old timers off. They know their stuff. They are here to help support us on advice. If it was not for them. Most of us would of blown up our cars by now.

I feel like I don't have to be specific since the question is so simple. I just asked a simple question, maybe if it was a complex question I would be more specific. It's either yes I do run e85 and I love it, ect, ect. Or my friend who is on here runs it his name is (blank), ect, ect. That's it, how hard is it to answer that. I didn't try to piss anyone off, if they got pissed off that's not my problem because that wasn't my intention. They probably read it the wrong way. Everybody always gives the new guy a hard time for some reason. This thread got so far off topic and it was the simplest question. I'm just trying to start a conversation with guys who run e85 who lives in MN to get their thoughts/opinions on it.

About running dual pumps, I'm not. Single 255hp here. What kind of power do you want? You may not need dual pumps. My car is not really tuned, just some street pulls. Made 366 on about 23psi I think at the LSE dyno day. I also run 1600PTE injectors. Base fuel pressure right around 37.

For those that are worried about possible corrosion with aluminum parts, think of what exactly is aluminum in a stock fuel system. The fuel rail and in the intake port, that's it. A used fuel rail is about $5 and the intake port is getting air and E85 atomized so it's not exactly sitting there corroding anything. Seems like a non-issue to me.

Plus you can search and find plenty of people who have been running this for a long time and have taken the time to remove engine components and basically prove they have not yet seen any issues.

I'll probably go the E85 route on the Colt since the thing could roll over and catch fire without me really giving a damn. Wondering if 550's will support a 13G on E85 though, or if I need 650's or so.

Edited because im retarded.

tpunx99GSX · 05-24-2007

Im pissed, i went to the site listed in the second thread and was reading a bit about this and there was a site that someone posted. http://www.e85fuel.com/index.php It is a site that has locations where you can buy E85, where i am we have only 2 stations, and each of them are over 45 minutes away. When will california ditch the EC gas and go with something that i can actually make power with.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 05-24-2007

I've been considering changing over to e85. I haven't looked too far into it, but do you think 950cc injectors would be enough to support a gt30r? I'm guessing they'll be a little on the small side, but I just thought I'd ask.

**scheides** · 05-24-2007

Hah! Whoever started this thread take a look at the above post. This is the type of question that should have started this thread!

Kevin, what fuel pump do you have? If you didn't boost too high or had a dual pump setup, you'd probably be in good shape.
