i have been think about the E-85 setup....."for the people who did it already": what parts do i really need to buy and whats the pro's (cheaper gas price and more power) and con's (how long does your motor last, not blowing it up by over boosting, im talking long term affects for being a DD on E-85)???....also fuel system (steel braided lines or stock is fine)????....and i know for sure a twin plate for the 400-450hp range......heard alot of different opinions....

 

i havent done e85, but plan on it, so i have done a decent amount of reading...

stock lines are fine with e85

pros: its cheap and youll make more power

cons: youll get less gas mileage for 2 reasons. 1) youll be making more power 2)e85 requires ~30% more fuel than gas to make the same power

another con is that depending on your setup, you might need double fuel pumps and of course ~1200cc injectors to start

 

im on this corn juice you guys speak off ... 1000cc injectors , i put in a fuel rail for ***** and giggles but not needed, your engine does run cleaner, boostn and myself compared numbers and we were getting bout 15mpg or so . i swear i get better gas milage then when i was on my 100oct map. rebel sells it for about $2.29 gal. oh ya mos def get a tune !

 

This is what I've come to learn as well. I haven't read much about the engine having many more problems, since your tuning it to work with the new fuel... so that should be safe.. maybe just invest in some headstuds to be safe?

Anywho, I'm going to upgrade to 1200cc injectors and call it a day.. single pump should be fine for my goal of 450hp.. double pump is recommended for MORE hp...which I may do when I get bored with that..

 

yeah, single pump should be fine for a 35r and 450hp

 

Right now I'm just stoked my car is alive again.

 

again anyone want an oem rear bumper with slight dammage at the exhaust outlet. its taking up space. i will be going out and if no one replys it will get thrown out.

 

so it is for real up and running? no ACD lights, no more battery drainage?

 

good **** jim , now get your *** to MOD with us

 

I just may... depending on old reliable.

Yep.. all the lights were caused by my battery only have 6v's of charge in it and dying all the time..

The battery draining is still happening with the battery I have.. I assume I blew a cell by deep charging it like I did... But I'm going in to trade it out under warranty.

I guess my buddy (supertuner) took the alternator out and got it tested, tested fine. He put it back and all was good again. I guess a connection somewhere was loose. DOH!

 

i had the same prob. when i tried to add car audio shat to my evo . with the mini battery kit. that power cord drains the juice on that small battery. got rid of the amp kit and back to racing i went . good luck with your issue

 

ps3 is done ... buying a new one im going to have to stick to **** for a while eerrr... never mind

 

what happened to it?

and whats your psn screen name?

 

twatboxer lol. and i was just playing good ol' COD4 and just shut off so i was like wft , so i turn the switch off in the back and turned it on manually everytime it would come back on the red light would start blinking and thats all its doing. from what im gathering from some friends that blinking red light = done, that includes xbox
