I just got my crank collar for my rb20. Who here even runs one on there rb20? The more I read, I see few running them. Im having hard times finding anything other than acl bearing for my rb20. When I pull the crank to fix the oil pump drive I need new bearings. Were did you buy you main and rod bearings from for rb20's? Is it even worth it pulling the crank if im only looking for 300 hp. Who here has tuned a car on e85 is it worth it? I have seen some fast cars tuned on e85. How long would the stock o rings last if one ran e85? I have been told you just need 30% more fuel and a change in timing and your about set. But in winter the mix e85 with more gas so it would be hard to get a accurate tune on it one would think.Just a few things im thinking of im not a big rb20 guru. anything would help

Could you link me to some threads/articles about imports running on e85? I can't figure out how something with less energy than gasoline gains more power, I know its got a higher octane rating, but just run methanol injection or race gas?

Im looking for the tuners point of view on tuning e85. It would bring the cylinder temps down. I know of a civic running all motor on e85 hes 11.4 in the quarter. Another guy I know has a 700hp na dodge charger that runs on e85.

From what I've read, you will burn more fuel.But you will get approx. 105 Octane for the price of 93. Plus your saving the environment and Taking $$ out of the Middle east.Hopefully putting it back in the US.

Check out this link:A couple of tuners talking about it.
