Moving to colorado cant find 93oct.

I am moving to colorado for the ski season, and was checking for 93oct. in my area but could not find any stations. so i guess i am going to re tune my car on 91oct. should i just convert to e-85? or go to 91

I am moving to that area also and there is no 93 I am prepping my car for a conversion.

if you need help check out CEVOC they are the resident experts for E85 Conversion.

Also check out CARZPERFORMANCE they are in lakewood

yes check out coloradoevo dot com (or CevoC as P-ROY said) and you can find all the info on e85 in colorado you need.

but to run e85 i would recommend injectors (size depends on what turbo you are running), fuel pump (double pumper if anything bigger than an FP green turbo), fuel rail, head studs so you can run high boost, and a tune (justDSM is the best local tuner and he can get you set up with that if you wish)

btw where in colorado will you be moving to?

not many colorado people come on this part of the site or even evoM for that matter so it might take some time for you to get some answers here.

for a 35r and e85 you will definitely need a buschur double pumper set up. we have about 40 e85 gas stations in the state, i have not used pump/91 in just over a year now.

and i live in Boulder so only about 15minutes at the most from where you are moving to

For sure. Do you think that 1000cc injectors would hold to 30psi, or will i need to upgrade to bigger injectors? Also is there a awd dyno any place near boulder? I have yet to get my car on one.
Thanks.

I have a 35R, AEM, fully ported head, and 1000cc injectors and put down 546 HP if you move to E85 then you will need bigger injectors. I also have a double pumper system in my car. but this has already been said. But it's your car do what you like.

And I'm in CO
