E85 tuning

[BurnTire]

its just alot of work to "hopefully" gain some power.

and since its "rated" at 105....what happens when you start running the motor to the point where you should be running say C16 (if you were still on regular gas)

That is where the cool combustion temps come into play. Cool = less chance of detonation. Those are great questions to ask on the e85 forum. Get answers from those who have first hand experience.

lower thermal energy means.....lol

it gives less power than the same amount of gasoline.. so you need more of it to equal the energy the gasoline gives... I think gasoline still is at the top of the BTU scale.. well maybe c4 or nitro..

ahh ok..that I knew...just didnt remember seeing it called thermal energy. I know you need like 25-40% more fuel to make the same power.

I have heard the 10% number a few times which on my car would be 50hp. I would be amazed.

now whats this guy talking about in the first link? you will need

Flex Fuel compatible ECM like FAST XFI or BigStuff 3
Fuel Composition Sensor
Wiring and Plumbing of the Ethanol Sensor and Fuel
