Cliff notes: Rode in an E85 powered, 37R turbo'd, beast. It was scarily fun!


So we got a new salesperson at my dealership today, and we were all talking about cars and just generally BSing and he mentions his friend has a bad-*** Evo. At first, I thought he was just talking out of his *** and probably knew a guy w/ basic bolt ons.

Nope.

He called his friend, guy's name is James I believe. It's a black VIII, with Ferrari, Lambo, Vette, Porsche, and Viper logos on the side, crossed out. Had a weird turbo, T4 something but it was the size/characteristics of a 37R. 272 cams, 1600cc injectors, magnuson intake manifold, Full Race exhaust manifold, and was running on E85 @ 30psi !

He offered to take me for a ride, right around 5k it spooled and it THREW me back in the seat, and talk about loud. All I heard was his wastegate after it spooled up, I loved it. It actually spiked to 33psi when we were redlining 3rd gear (according to his Apex'i FC). Crazy ****! It really made me miss my old AWD Talon :/

I havent had that much fun in a car since I first got my Z06

 

Why is your z06 stock? Slap a turbo on that a call it a day =)

 

ehhh, I'm thinking about it!

 

Dude, you should just get one of the Lingenfelter staged upgrade and call it a day on your Z06

 

thata awsome were are all these people getting e85! ive never seen it for sale anywere in jersey, penn or d-ware!!!

and i dont see a problem w/ drivin a stock zo6, i was very impressed with that car in stock form! i say that now but if i had one for more than a month im shure a full twin turbo bb, intercooled, meth kit, head work, cam, ect!!! hahaha

 

Yeah.. We are one of the few states left without E85 stations.. http://www.e85refueling.com/

I hope that will change soon..

 

thanks!!!! my closest station is like 7mi away but im not crossing the bridge to fill up!!!!!! i guess well just have to wait.... ive been reading alot of good things about it!!!!!

Put one of those on that vette and smile!

 

No, that guy's in Portland and this guy is a Vegas local. It seems the E85/big turbo combo is going to be pretty popular soon though. Well, for those who don't mind a little lag

 

Well that's a really interesting way to apply FI. Pretty neat.

 

crazy stuff....Im getting more and more interested in e85 w/ all these stories and good results

 

37R is not a turbo in the Garret catalog per se, it is a T67 DBB full frame T4 app. Its also Magnus intake not Magnuson.

 

man i need to hurry up and get an evo so i can meet all these people in vegas...haha
