this may be way off, but i think i heard long term use of e85 was bad. something about drying out parts. i thought this to be total BS, but i havent looked into it. just a thought.

man i wish our regular gas was 3.40 a gallon here

REading around in the auxialry injection section of the board. Seems alky or meth even mixed with water will affect lube inside the hosueings seems it might need to be a stronger premix inside the gas to counteract this. Speaking of think i am gonna get some idemitsu today!

would this be a good idea to run on a na motor? for long trips spray once in a while and went i go for **** and giggles for 1/4 mile?

yetterben

No it would do nothing for N/a really if you sprayed water it would clean the carbon though but all in all no its not worth it.

cool. i have been thinking of figuring out a system to injet water in my intake to steam clean my motor between the times i sea foam it.


its funny yetterben and 84stock have me torn. i plan on building a 12a for boost and you both have me torn between turbo and super charging. iam not looking for a insane amount of boost or any thing just 8 to 10psi.

If you dont mind paying a little extar for the pure bolt on and go aspect minor tuning work get the camden. If you are in the upper mechanic working range go turbo. I am a mechanic buy trade but def am not the best mechanic in the world but nuts and bolts dont scare me thats why i chose the way i went!

And if your cold start injection system is still hooked up fill it with water and toggle the pump to flip on when you want to inject water to clean engine. Rev engine to 3 or 4 grand flip switch once a week for 10 seconds and enjoy a clean motor. HEll mix some of the water with seamfoam lol!

i believe the cold start is still hooked up i still have the tank in the engine bay, are you saying add a switch to turn it on and off. if so thats a great idea and saves me cash. there should be a line from the tank to the intake right with a pump between? i can have my bro rewire it for me if its that simple.

the main thing holding me back from boosting or yet alone changing my carb is tuning a new one. which is why iam gonna wait for next winter so i can learn more.
turboing my motor i think i can handle iam a welder ect so i can handle that part. my friend that i own and iam rebuilding a rs turbo carpi went to uti/is a mechanic so iam good on that side of things.
the one thing holding me back turboing is the cost for the o.e.r setup added to the rest of the turbo setup cost. which i figured would cost me more then the cadmen .but on one hand i could stay with a stock carb like you did and get it preped(sp?) to save money.could you pm me a rough idea how much it cost. i know the prep work was done by a forum member and hes not really willing to do that for others if i remember correct.
i like the idea of the cadmen more or less a bolt on job, some tuning. but id have to remove my gilmer drive i just bought . but it be worth it and it be cool to have a sc rx7 sa. iam already the only sa when i go to meets ill allso be the only sc sa lol.

thanks for the input. dont want to hijack your thread any more so if you dont mind can i pm you questions about the cold start injection system idea.

Aaaaah, if I was to start all over again I would go turbo. The s/c is cool and all but the turbo will build more power. For a budget build, just get a hold of a good stock 13b turbo and manifold and oval the holes on the exhaust manifold. Then get a sidedraft and have Robert from rotaryshack boost prep it. With the water/meth you could skip the intercooler and keep boost under 10 psi and be good. Finally run a locked dizzy.

It's any rubber components that come in contact with the E85 mix anywhere in the fuel system that you have to worry about...that, and you need to flow a lot more fuel than air or it leans out BAD, which ain't good for any engine.
