Nice car man. I've seen it in the shop.
Do you think Ls1 coils and stock ignitor would be efficient for the power you are looking for? Any water methanol injection, or you don't need it with e85?

LS1 coils have their own igniters.. they're built into each coil. The haltech will be controlling them.

e85 burns a lot cooler than regular fuel, it's like running AI and pump together

I'm thinking.. rotary loves fuel... when you go with E85 it takes even more. What do you expect your mileage to be? I haven't seen many E85 stations in phoenix area.

There are 2 on my side of town, another in mesa, one of 95th and peoria. The evo guys use them a lot. I am buying it by the drum and storing it.

e85 takes 1/3 more than regular pump.

I figure 6-12mpg, if I am lucky, ahhahhaha.

It's not a DD, was never meant to be.

Nice. Who did the exhaust and how much did it set you back? (if you don't mind me asking.)

Glen @ AZRR custom picked the parts. When you go from 3 to 4", it gets expensive.

Parts would run you about a grand, plus labor for welding, cutting, etc.

But, its a full custom built exhaust, with full 4". I didn't have an issue with the price. Any aftermarket exhaust will cost you the same for a 3" setup.

Looks great! Glen is the man, but that's going to be very loud D.

I have a custom made A-Spec full 4 inch setup, and the only thing that made the sound levels bearable was the Apexi' GT Spec rear section, which has a pretty large muffler.

I looked into it using a Burns UltraLight, and it was looking in the 600-700 range. I don't know that I'll ever need a full 4" though. Maybe if I ever go 20B.
