There is only one gas station that provides E85 and it is mcewen on Bank street in Ottawa.

 

It will burn more fuel for sure but.. it's something I want to try, if it doesnt work at my advantage I will use 91-94 octane map. I would love to be in the E85 familly

 

i vote get a few more mods done before you go with this for the the following reasons

1) need to upgrade the fuel pump and injectors to run e85

2) have to get tuned for e85, then go back after you've burned it all outta the system then do a 91 or 94 oct tune (i go with 91 oct much easier to find in remote places on road trips and such)

3) getting tunes done after mods saves you on having to get a 3rd tune done when you drop in and intake/exhaust/etc


talk to bryan from GST motorsports he's runnnig on e85

 

For sure 91 octane is easier to find I am not going to tune before I have all the parts I want on the car for the exact reasons you gave.

 

There is map switching on the Stock ECU, TephraMod. No need for a $600 pager.

I've been testing the 2010 RA version. Works great. Should be out soon.

I do alot of E85 conversions so I've used TephraMod on multiple Evos from evo 8 to evo 10.

Will the TephraMOD be available for us '09 Ralliart drivers too? I saw it for the EVO but I did not expect Tephra to port it to the Ralliart.

 

That sounds great!! I will, most likely, have all I need by then, it will be fun.

Thanks for your input Bryan.

 

The only thing that sucks... YOUR TOO FAR BRYAN!!

 

If I ran out of gas with E85, lets say 1/4 of a tank left, would I be able to simply change maps at the gas station and fuel up?

 

I would like to know this aswell. I would love to be able to drive around on E85 for normal/fun driving then when i need to go on a road trip just drive most of the E85 off then switch maps at a gas station then use 91oct. after seeing some dyno graphs of people on E85 with similar mods as me i really would love to do this.

 

sure, if you have your laptop and openport 2.0 handy...

 

2010 you can switch on the fly with Tephra Rom. No laptop needed.

 

Lucky ;p

 

fair point. i hear about the tephra mod for RA's so infrequently, I completely forgot about it.

 

Wrong.
