THE EURO TO THE CENT IS 50 to 60 !!! GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

I'd rather use Euros.

Dollar sucks ass. We need to ditch the penny and make everything even to the next nickle.

WTF did you just say?

[Xat1cZ]

E85 costs 0.99 cents / liter vs. ~1.60€ for 95E10 and ~1.70€ for 98E5 in FIN atm :letitout:... costs me ~100 euros to fill up the E30 ffs :hitler: :curse:

[slammin.e28]

Just go to a station who has e85, fill up, run it for a week, and report back with butt dyno findings.

Don't make this harder than it has to be.

To do this you'd need to replace all the fuel system components with E85 compatible parts, switch to bigger injectors, and replace the DME with a MegaSquirt or other stand alone engine management computer. Or you might be able to get an acceptable tune with a war chip. But timing and fuel maps need to be quite different than what the stock DME has.

E85 is available around us at a few stations. It is also a little cheaper, pretty popular with the Subaru crowd.

Yes, without super high compression, lots of timing or boost, you will make less hp. Also, e85 can't be found everywhere.

So, in a nutshell

Higher octane, but if I ran my m20 on a dyno with pump gas, then with e85... e85 dyno will be worse power?

[asuj158]

Do it, give you a reason to go turbo :D

[der affe]

It is bigger molecules than gas, another reason to you need the bigger injectors to flow more fuel.

Your mileage will suffer also as it is not as efficent of a burn compaired to gas.

[5Toes]

Well I guess that the larger injectors are needed because the ideal AFR is much lower, and the same amount of air is coming in.

It has a lower specific energy, so you have to squirt more of it in for an equal bang.

I'd build an electric E30 first. But that's me.
