E85 or 93 for road racing?
E85 or 93 for road racing?
Hey guys,
Bit of a n00b/obvious question I know, however I'm about to start tracking my 7 in the new year and am gearing up.
Not worried about massive power so stock turbo will remain until it dies.
The dilemma is do I buy high-z injectors and a pump for E85 which is locally available now or stay 93? The power it makes on 93 is plenty ATM as I'm focussing on driving techniques, BUT will the thermal/det properties of E85 make it safer to be tracking on? Or will the extra torque hit it provides be the issue?
I am aware that 90%+ of the time I'll be above 4.5k.
Turbo on my car is slightly smaller than an 03 E8.
Money for a fuel system isn't any issue as I'll run 1100cc high -z injectors, but a new engine isn't being budgeted for a while.
Cheers
