Yeah, E85 is approximately 112-115 octane (ROM+MON/2). The increased knock resistance means you can run more boost and more aggressive timing.

I wish they had e-85 pumps here, I would love to see the difference on my car. Ive heard alot of things about injectors and fuel pumps having issues, gumming up.

Bringing a dead thread back..lol my question to those of you who have made the conversion, has your overall maintenance of your Evos been more after the conversion ?
