Smile I went E85

Well finally switched over to E85. Car started right up but was very lean. Pretty easy just added fuel to the map and seems good to go. Weather is not good so can't go for a run. By the way car is a Rx2 13b turbo Haltech e6x.

Injectors as of now are 850's and 1680's not sure about duty cycle most likely have to ditch the 850's for another pair of 1680's. It is raining can't take it for a blast.

Hey Enzo, A while back you told me where to find E85. I found another spot that sells E85 Sunenergy on Hicksville rd and Jerusalem in Massapequa.

I got 3 stations very close to me, im now worried that it might not last, the ethanol industry is taking a beating and getting alot of cristisizm. Thankfully its the brainchild of our government so hopefully they will keep it afloat.

Nice! Let me know how it starts up when really cold outside (below freezing). Did you adjust your primer map/coolant maps yet?

Now you just have to get your flex fuel badge

I think there was one station in bayshore.
I was looking into an E85 conversion on the cobalt, but I'm in queens and there aren't any stations nearby.
