Great results; have you tuned any Red's on E85? Just wondering what the ballpark difference is at higher boost/timing.

Nope not yet, just 91, 100 and 110.

448whp on a Evo 8 with 110oct at 30psi (holding) and 425whp on a Evo 9 with 110oct at 28psi (holding 26psi).

Interesting.... what sort of airflow differences are you seeing in these two turbos at similar boost levels? I'm wondering if this BBK Full flows more than the 49-50lb range? Both turbos are on my radar and I feel like I'm splitting hairs.

its hard to test the exact ratios, lbs/min, etc without a containment test cell...

we rate ours at 48(ish) lbs min

Well if it's making 430whp on GST's dyno than that's already breaking 48lbs/min almost certainly! Seems more like 55 lbs/min if you ask me!

I'm on the hair-splitting wagon as well....

The more BBK threads I read the more I have to shake my head in amazement on what the BBK Full is capable of doing. I have all of the usual "go fast" parts but I plan on upgrading to the Kelford 272s, E85, and ETS FMIC to liven things up once I return from Iraq.

Well turbo flow is only part of the power equation, especially with E85, so I don't think you can really relate power with lbs/min, at least in this case.

I really like BBK/e85 setup. Can't wait for e-85 to be a little easier to get in my area. This will definetely be a setup for me to consider in the future.

If there were e85 stations closer to me, I'd already be running e85. But the closest one is almost 30 minutes away. No thanks.

I feel your pain. Not really...as I have an E85 station less than five miles from my house. Gotta love HEB gas stations!

Was this BBK ported by Steve, or not?
