Im on PFC.

 

I just tuned my brothers car with E85...

It has a very funny smell..

 

Yes, it does.............. when running extremely rich it burns the hell out of my eyes like a alcohol car............... and the migraines, don't get me started

what were your results?

 

I call it a cross between 100 proof, propane and popcorn!
At least it don't stink of that chemical commonly found in 'Import', 'Q' and certain 'brands' of Methanol!

 

It's definitely a cross of something... LOL.. I sometimes got a smell similiar to alky but with a twist.. hehe.. Just can't seem to figure out what the twist is...

I had to move an R100 off the dyno which runs on that certain brand of methanol you speak of and that **** just plain stinks... Makes great power but dam it really f---kin stinks...

 

Were running a stock FD motor with GT35 and 21lbs of boost.
We made 501hp last night and the air quality was absolute crap..
Probably good for another 10~15hp on a good day..

Overall i'm quite happy as now this car could be driven everyday at less then pump gas prices... We couldn't get very far running on C16 unless you break the lock off your wallet and nowadays that's not feasible..

 

enzo, i'm gonna try not to be offended that you didnt tell me we now have e85 stations in our area. im impressed with the power on your brothers car. very similar to c16 results.

so... how many extra injectors do i need to buy, and when can i make the switch?

 

13 sec cars need no more than 89 octane. But the pump was just opened in Massapequa. Last I heard it was $2.99 a gallon. Enzo, did it go up?

 

Nice numbers

 

what does your brother's car have for a Fuel system?

 

Yeah they jacked us.. It's now $3.29 a gallon...

 

Yeah but this is also a stock port motor.. I think on a better day we would've made even more. The SP made 511hp with C16.

Depends....

 

2 --- Bosch 044's.
4 --- 1600's..

 

what timing were you able to run at 21psi?

 

LOL Ant your funny.. I was at the station the first day it was ready for sale I been calling that place everyday since they got the pump installed. Its 3.29 a gallon but thats prob cause its full serve otherwise it would be 2.99.

 

The conditions couldnt have been worse. It was 94 degrees in the shop humidity was 72%. And I had 225 tires that were spinning the dyno I believe... Mph in 4th was 112 on the dyno and I have gone 150 in 4th gear on the street.

NYC my numbers are kissing your rear bumper.

 

Oh and my tranny went as soon as we came off the dyno. Input shaft bearings are toast. wonder how that happened 33k mile tranny.

 

Anyway this stuff is great.. not as strong as meth but you can taste it in the back of your throat. I get tears in my eyes when I think about it and drive it... lol.. literally.

 

anthony, i cant wait to see your car on the street 500whp on a stock motor and 'pump' gas
i can heat the excuses from top level already

 

Yea I have a few people to go after. Rumor is top level was calling me out the other night pulling the evo around on the trailer.lol. meanwhile they wouldnt race me for fun when they had the chance.

 

good to see more guys trying this

 

went a long way just to take her to the track today but it started to rain just as the first cars lined up. The first time it rains in a month had to be today!

Will have some more dynotime this week!

 

Tonight we dynoed the car again

at 21psi and 77% duty cycle it produced 548rwhp and 390rwtorque (ftlbs) or 528,8nm

e85 is the ****

Thanks to ML wankeltrim and Lasse wankel for letting me dyno the car at the rototest (hub dyno).

 

forgot to email you last night, I just sent myself a reminder........ so I'll email you when I get home !

Congrats ! You should make a new thread in the single turbo forum so everyone can see that E85 is the shiits. Why did you stop at 21 psi ?

What type of dyno did you use before? Maybe one read higher or lower than the other ?

What afr's ?
