Well a common practice that the E-85 Stations "should" be doing is adding a inline Fuel/water separator. Big rig Diesels and Marine guys run it...im sure if its that much of a issue then intall one of those inline.

 

Anyone can help me out im in vegas just drove here from florida and im in desperate need of an oil change any places here that i can go to that wont rip me off?? i usually do it my self but i dont think this hotel will like it if im doin that in the parking lot

 

Lot of EVO's start slow on 91. Take the same car on E85 with 1000's and it could start the same or worse. Not necesarrily the fuels fault or the injectors. PTE1000's seem to work the best and in most cases start as fast as stock does on 91, on E85. Cars are getting older. Original O2 sensors, old plugs, wires, shakey coils on 03-04's. Can compound the problems.
If the car is running fine on E85 and you went to Uncle Bob's Slick Stop for E85. And a block down the street its missing and cutting out. Then you burned it down to a half tank or less and went to say a Rebel, still doing he same thing. Probably should just drain the tank. Start out with fresh fuel. Get that problem out of the tank period. There are drains on both sides of the tank making it easy.

 

If you buy the oil @ Walmart and take it to Courtesy Mitsu they'll do the change for $20 incl. tax.

I know people here have had bad experiences with their warranty service but I still go there for oil changes. It's cheaper than Jiffy Lube (assuming you buy the oil outside of them) and you know they have something to lose if they mess something up.

 

Thus the reason they switch to e70-e78 during the winter months. e85 is a hard starting fuel during winter months. There is a thread on the reasons why in the alternative fuels forum. There are tables you can adjust in ecuflash to bring down the low temperature IPW's to compensate without having to fiddle with your map settings.

 

my Evo starts up just as quick as stock, even when its low 30's on PTE 1000's.

 

My car started great on pump 91, 100, 110 leaded and e85....then once the temps dropped and have since stayed below 50, the car has to be turned over a few times to get it to fire.

 

Hey Trevor, I remember in one of your older posts you mentioned having to run an evo 5 radiator since the water neck was on the drivers side with one of your big turbo cars......how is the fitment of it into an 8?

 

Do you have the scalings set for 91 on your alternate map? Also, you have to remember, your 8 ECU doesn't reset the trims on a flash like a 9 ECU does, so you have to wait for them to settle as well.

 

Thanks!! i went to courtesy but i got there to late so i ended up taking it firestone lube place they charged 17 something and i brought my own oil.. i should have got a oil filter too, i have no clue of wat kind of filter they used

 

geez, I would have let you change it at my place... and I have some Amsoil with filters here. Sorry didn't see your post earlier

 

evo 5 radiator fits right in, and the neck is towards the thermostat housing

 

Cool. Thanks for the info, Dan. The new manifold I am going to use is almost right against the upper radiator hose, so I had hoped this would be a more viable solution.

 

what manifold you going to run Eddie?

 

A cheaper Solution also might be a ETS hard pipe if you dont want to buy a whole new radiator.
