E85

[flatblackterror]

any of you run e85 fuel in your rb's?

Chris Riggs does in his 800+whp RB26 S14, however his car is down for the count at the moment.

I considered it heavily until I figured out it wasn't the easiest fuel to get in WI, along with the decreased mileage and its really not too much cheaper here.

I do have methanol injection

also consider you'll need more E85 compared to your run of the mill fuel. That means larger injectors, more fuel pump, and all compatible components.

E-85 is win and magic , and i run it. The upgraded injectors and other components are well worth it.

I gave up on the pipe dream of having a RB with good gas mileage over 300 rwhp. I think it is retarded, so i have an 08 honda ruckus 49cc scooter and i also have my 86 AE86 for my dailys, considering the ruckus saves me over 100 dollars a week in gas i say its worth it.

E-85 has so many advantages over "run of mill" fuels. I could list things forever, but basically ill just tell you its super juice and you need to research it yourself.

[eh?]

If only it were more available I'd convert the 240 to e85. Reason? e85= 100-105 octane.

e85 is basically a blend of 85 percent of the alcohol-based fuel ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. horrible fuel-mileage, don't do it.

either way, i have yet to find it at the pump on my daily commute, not the fuel for me.

it's also so-called "flex-fuel" by the car makers.not many stations out there, 1200 stations in the US, but they are rapidly adding more.

[flatblackterror]

like every other gas station around here has e85. one of my co workers is trying to talk me into using it but my rb is my daily i have no other car anymore i cant afford to have it out for the count for a while

When did he ever even make close to 700?

When did he ever even make close to 700?

what ever happened to him and his car? i also heard it was down but never found out what happened

[BoostFab]

i thought it was on sale for a little while, then it's all quiet from then on. hmm...

[gawdzilla]

i think it blew up and he stopped posting about it entirely as a result... just curious to see what happened

Some food for thought on e-85

what ever the end result /numbers were, he blew the engine and is now rebuilding to ultimately sell it again.
