E85 and Hi-Compression Engine and Turbo, will they work together for more power?

[Soravia]

I'll first say that I'm no expert on engines or cars. I just learn from reading and listening to others.

Here's my future plan for the 240.I want to convert it to full Ethnol powered engine, i.e. not a Gasoline engine just squirting E85. I want to have it making most out of the E85

I gathered some facts.- E85 has higher Octane than Gasoline- Higher Octane is required for Higher Compression engines at Hi-RPM- Non-Turbo Gasoline engines have higher Compression than Turbo Gasoline.- E85 can work at Higher Compression than Gasoline.

So my question is IF IPut higher compression on Gasoline Turbo engine with high rev (SR-20DET or Rotary)and use E85 only

Will it work? Will it have more power than Gasoline?

There is much more than just putting E85 in and going. The E85 engines use much more fuel to run but you are correct on the Octane thing. Only draw back to to the E85 fuel is it breaks down motors faster so I dont know how the SR would hold up to it. You need to DO A LOT of research before you do any of this.
