Corn Fueled--E85

[FinishlineWRx]

Finished up my swap a few weeks ago. Love the crap out of this stuff already.

Anyone else running it?

[djmatao]

Negative. I heard its crazy tho... i assume you are retuned for it, whats your power rating at?

[FinishlineWRx]

Oh yeah.

850 injectors
walbro pump
grimmspeed/mac 3port bcs
18g
38mm ewg
Stock filter,lines and rails.

Had to turn down boost, made to much power for stock rods and pistons to hold.

@18 psi made ~330 wtq

MPG in town 16-17:(

Very freakin nice!!!!!!

Be careful of your transmission too. My friend Greg McCance did an E85 tune making even more torque than that in his '02 WRX, and his car has been eating transmissions and diffs like they were cheese-covered bacon.

[FinishlineWRx]

Yeah I've been woried about trans as it is. Broke second gear last winter.
Had RA set put in but still not up to the task of the power level I'm hoping to be at by spring time.

But really like this e85 deal so far.
Easy to get here in my town.
Way cheaper- 2.05
Under hood temps seemed to have took a large dive
Won't knock however much we've pushed it...so far

That's Bad A**

:cool:

So you're saying that with the E85 the cars temps are lower than with gas? Really? Interesting, I wonder why that is?

What turbo? I think that would have a lot more to do with the tranny breaking than e85, i went with a big guy a 35r, with lots of turbo lag until 4k... Doesnt dump so much on the tranny until after shes already going

Im running it on my bugeye also :)
Made over 400+
Stock internals stock tranny!

The alcohol fuels have cooler exhaust temps. Heat soak under the hood is also reduced because of this as well. My egt stays around 650 at cruise
Water temp should stay about the same if temerosat is working correctly.
On boost @ WOT it should target about the same egt because of the amount timing changes. But seem to be cooler at idle and cruise.

I wish^^ my tuner wont go over 350wtq because many people say the rods wont hold it for that long.

[CamaroWRX]

What turbo? Stock.

It's not the E85 per se, as much as it is the 380 torque rating he was able to dyno tune out of the car with the E85.

Yum. I wish I had E85 more available to me. The closest stations that I have are 50 miles to the north of me and 70 miles to the south. :/ One day though.. one day.

[Lperkins88]

wow nice!!! we don't have any of those stations around here =(
