Would e85 help out in hp numbers if the stock ra turbo is maxed out around 270whp?

 

I'm admittedly uninformed but, no why would it? if a part maxes out at some value how would changing the fuel type help?

 

e85 allows for more timing and cylinder pressure. I have not had the pleasure, but I would imagine even with the tiny RA turbo you could max out the MIVEC intake and add a handfull of degrees

 

^^ very true. kyle is doing great things with his car

 

I gained 25hp and 60tq going from 91 to E85
A big chunk of those gains are from the initial boost spike but the car is obviously faster on E85

 

ya i know e85 explodes much faster so wouldnt that require more air then cause there more gas going through?
stock ra turbo?

 

Actually E-85 burns slower than regular pump, that with the additional cooling properties in the ethanol allow you to run more timing/boost without knock.


Yup, Stock RA turbo with AEM Intake, X intercooler, UR upper & Lower pipes, 1000cc injectors, Ultimate racing turbo back exhaust, and a 3-port

 

What are you running for boost and do you know your whp #'s?

 

233whp/ 258tq on 91---24psi spike, tappering down a lot by redline
258whp/ 322tq on e85--27psi spike, tappering down a lot by redline


This was on a Mustang Dyno
Didnt get a baseline but other stock Ralliarts have dynoed in the 190-200WHP range.

 

That is one hell of a torque punch, good times!!
We still going to meet up for some track days 2mb?

 

Anthony... You gotta give me a ride in the car...

 

Do you have quarter mile time btw?

 

why does your boost taper down a lot?

 

Cause it's the stock RA turbo... lol

 

good point.. lol good thing im upgrading
