From what i've seen of E85 you can get a little bit better performance as it's like running a high octane. So timing and fuel can be better adjusted due to higher detonation resistance.

However you have to use a lot more of it to run the engine. Thus the bigger injectors. Essentially you don't get the mpg you get cheaper fuel. E85 uses about 20-30% more fuel than gasolene. At the price though you can run 3-4 times as many tanks than gasolene so it does save money.

The comment about the plastics is definately right... you've gotta change that line. The other components should work just fine though. Only concern i'd have is the plastic casing for the fuel pump sending unit. In time E-85 may eat it away... keep an eye on that.

 

We've been running e85 for a long time now boe

 

Wow... I didn't even realize that those posts were so old. I just read up a few and then a few more and got sucked in. Shame on me... LOL

 

What are you using to measure AFR and boost/

ROAD/RACE

 

Zeitronix and STRI digital gauge. I'm tuning via Ecuflash

 

4g94T.. im gunna have to call you out once my cars actually on the street again. psi for psi, not just overall, cuz ill do 30psi just to prove a point.

 

Cool. I only trust Zeitronix!

ROAD/RACE

 

Did a dyno run. Did a 0-60 in 11.92 seconds and 1/4 mile with 18.78 sec @ 72.3 MPH. Max acceleration was 0.47 G's with peak HP at 117. Is this average or slow for this car?

 

Seems slightly slow, but if you have not modded it much then it's about right.

 

Auto or Manual?

If manual then that is slow.

 

Manual but it is 100% stock. Still slow?

 

Yeah it's still a little slow, but in all truthfulness it could just be your driving.
Different drivers get different results based on shifting ect.

 

Just thought I would update you guys here. Almost a year to the day since my last post here been rocking the turbo kit a year now. Pushing 12psi still stock internals, self tuned giving me a best unofficial read at
238whp
244wtrq

I plan on gettting dyno'ed this spring or sooner up at english racing

 

Hi guys i am from Pr i did 153whp /133tq and with no powersteering and ac belt did 158whp /136tq my 4g94 sohc lancer ES manual transmision did 14.8 at 90mph with 2.0 on 60ft and 15.0 at 93mph allmotor with headblock fulldone
