yep! but we did not focus much on the 95 octane tune which gave 379rwhp at 15psi (should be around 420-430rwhp with that setup).
then we tuned it for e85, at same psi 479rwhp, only change was colder plugs.

Yo Gustav! Tomorrow we hopefully will be a little wiser what hp increase E85 can do for our little rotaries! Keep in mind that it's only a "little" Greddy T-78 and not a 700 hp turbo. But i think the torque will boost some comparing to V-Power. But i am a little bit worried about that you only have a HKS twin amplifier though you have to ignite a lot of alcohol. Come to think is there anybody that have measured Brake mean effective pressure on a boosted 13B? Chrispeed maybe?

Been running an FD on E85 for 5 months now,first on the original ecu,now on an Apexi power FC.It began to run very lean,so I removed the fuel filter and cut it open,it was caked with a grey/pink sludge.
So I looked in the tank,which has become like new,apart from the same grey/pink sludge on the sides and bottom.
Fitted a new fuel filter,and now going strong again.
Did 13.0 sec 1/4 mile at 110mph,with a broken engine mount! All stock apart from ecu,catout pipe,and rear box.

if you're running stock tank and convert to E85, you need to replace or clean your filter a few times since that E85 will basically clean and flush your stock tank.

Approx how much worse is the gas milage with E85. I dont want to get 100miles for tank when i have to drive 20 just to fill up E85.
If we need 30% more fuel with E85, im guessing our gas mileage will go down 30%..... So avg. we get at least 12mpg with a 30-35% decrease it will be ~7.5-8mpg. Which will be about 150miles per tank at most.
For those who dont have stations close by and drive their cars often on streets this may be a prob. Or else Im really interested in tuning my Fd with E85 and BNRS around 15psi and see wat happens.

e85 is oxyginated fuel right? n/a can benefit from it. n/a will also benefit from colling properties.
in any case n/a and lil nos, e85 will give a nice ping protection.
Will there be problems with water condensation i ur tank?????????

These are questions your tuner should know. If he doesn't, he has no business tuning your car. Safe a/f ratio depends on what type fuel, what kind of timing, porting, etc...There are too many variables to just throw out a "safe" a/f ratio. And I don't care what type of fuel, you better not tune your car to a 12.5, lol....
