Flex fuel is one of the great things that our government developed and released to the public. Too bad not many companies (especially the outer lying stations) took the opportunity...........

O yeah not me haha. $200 injectors and call it a day. And i spent $10 on a test tube to measure the content.

I was thinking about cjm stage 1 kit and ID 750 injecrors with aeromotive fuel pump 340. Overkill?

Ok. Just gtr injectors and fuel pump? I still plan on doing the high rev build. I just dont want to go back and buy more parts rather have it in place. Thats why i thought of doing the id 750 and cjm stage 1.

If your going to stay N/A and do a full build with ethanol, then raise your compression ratio as well to take better advantage of the ethanol.

I think if 1slowz had raised his c/r and did ethanol he might have come very close or breached 400whp

I lost power:(. Best description...Higher octane fuel is slower burning. If your not igniting it soon enough then u arent giving the fuel enough time to release its energy. What u need to take away from this is that your ecu/tuning system is inadequate for use with e85 on your application. Whatever u take from this dont fall into the "e85 doesnt work crowd" because ud be egregiously wrong. Unfortunately your setup just isn't working with e85. No one has ever made anything but less power with e85 on the same timing as gas. Thats just how it works. Our platforms tuning software suppliers need to step it up imho.


So if thats correct im not sure why you got more with fuel trimming only. Clearly i need ecutek! Turner can only run 28* same as gas.

hmm would be nice if someone had ecutek and tried this

Tried what?

also, is there a definite answer on will going e85 do anything to the car in the long run.

uprev vs ecutek on e85... i would have thought you would be able to make gains with uprev too. however, as syno tested it on his and he lost power. i got in contact with a tuner here in atlanta that claims i would make power even with uprev.
