Is E85 worth it for my current setup??
 

Motor is going in to my 10AE as we speak... streetport with FD rotors, BNR stage 2, Microtec LT-10, and some other goodies. I plan to run the turbo at 15psi and would love to make at least 315whp and if possible closer to 350. So what i'm wondering is.. will E85 help me make more power?? What has been proven so far in terms of power numbers opposed to good ol' 93? How much more gas will i be wasting when the car is not in boost just cruising? Is there anything else i need to consider and invest in besides injector size and fuel pump??

Sorry for the barrage of questions just growing ever more curious about this stuff. Any extra info besides what i asked is welcome with open ears. Thanks

whats up!!! well just keep it 93 youll still be able to hit 350 if you go e85 then that will waste faster and it sounds cheap but is going to be more money like bigger injectors better lines and better better better pump ......trust me your car will run good on pump gas

dude unless your making 550-600hp your wasting your time with E85. I make 500hp on pump around 17psi. so no that power level its no use. Its like asking should i use race gas @ 15psi

yep hes right :icon_tup: for the amount of power you wanna put dwn your good with pump gas 15psi on e85 ? :scratch::icon_no2: look at darkphantom hes making good power at 17 psi and pump gas if that is what he runs

Well my fuel system is ready as is.. all i need are 1600's up top because the rest can handle it.. I eventually plan on going with a bigger turbo and shooting for close to 500whp and since the motor is brand new just wondering if it would be beneficial to break it in on E85.. Idk just playing with the idea.. Eric que bola papo que paso con Carlos Lopez!! plus i guess i just wanna brag about making 350 on a stage 2 BNR and spank the piss outta ppl cuz my car will look stock with a stock looking turbo

550 for the primary & 1600cc for the secondary and your good to go till 550hp
i think i remember you at the meets a while back so when you finish it i wanna see this.


BTW that 478hp pull @ 17psi i stopped @ 6800rpms lol. i actually made 515 @ 17psi

phantom i have been trying to figure out who you are for a while lol.. I used to go to SoFla rx7 club meets at the pizza place and at countyline.. I used to chill with Luis and phil my 10th AE had the peeling paint on the roof just had RB exhaust and shit at that point hadnt done anymore to the car.. Also used to go to Fuddruckers back in the day dont know if that helps. But yeah i guess i will stick to 93 for now then Charlie was telling me it could be a good idea but also said it wasn't necessary..

bullshit.... my bro couldn't break 400 hp before running out of injector with that same exact setup.

lol @ viking. They way i read your quote look like your avatar was speaking. But we took it up to 19lbs and it made a hair over 550 but the injectors was @ 82% on the 17psi pull the injectors hit 74%.

but yeah 10th ae i saw you a couple of times when you came out to Val's meets but this was years ago. dunno if you have the same car or not! later whoever car finishes first well meet up or something. I was thinking about taking my car to the Dade Collier Training Airport for the Standing mile here in miami but i have to get some tires first

whats up whats up tony well im pretty sure yout 500 with that setup but i thnk pushing it atleast some 850 and 1600 is great

Same car phantom.. Its been a long road hopefully it will be done in a month or two latest its been 6 already lol.

dont feel so bad. i got 7k into the car since november and im still waiting :(

E85 is nice, but its not regulated at all, so u can end up with E55 one day and E95 the next, its too much of a gamble in my opinion. Looking for power go with Q16.
