pre mix with e85?
 
should i be pre-mixing with e85 or is there natural oils in there that will lube those seals?

I would, and do premix running e85. Make sure if you do premix, you find a compatable oil, because most are not.

Klotz benol.

+1 on the Klotz Benol, I deleted my OMP and just premix in the tank 1oz to 1 gallon of E85. Car has been a beast with no issues pushing 810RWHP @ 26 psi on a full bridge (2 rotor). Plus it doesn't separate, at least I have not had any separation issues.

Borg Warner S475 with a T4 housing. Based on our numbers from the Motec it looks like we will max the turbo out right at 900ish RWHP on just E85 with a 85% duty cycle right around 30 pounds of boost.

What injector sizing are you using. I have the same turbo sitting in front of me. Any major issues you run into?

I'm running 2- ID2000's for primaries and a total of 4- Bosch 1680's (2- 1680's on the secondary rail, and 2- 1680's on the third rail). Running 3 in tank Bosch 044 pumps, each one supplies it's own rail with 2 injectors.

No issues at all, idles perfect at 1600 rpm (full bridge)

It's a street car, for now.

We tuned using lambda (since we are using E85) but AFR wise it comes out to about 11:1, it is extremely safe, running 11.5 plugs all around.

As far as premix we are using the Klotz Benol, really likes it and have had great results in previous engines using E85.

1oz per gallon KLOTZ 2-CYCLE SUPER TECHNIPLATE RACING OIL. Smells like an RC car:)

I use the same thing except I mix it a little heavier than that. Around 1.5 OZ to a gallon

sleeper7 Aug 21, 2012 02:22 PM

Gone as high as 12/14 oz per 5 gallons. No smoking, did not foul the plugs.

you guys find your eyes water sometimes if the wind blows the exhaust back in the car?
