Boosted1 Member 346 Member For: 16y 1m Posted 10/11/10 08:09 AM Share Posted 10/11/10 08:09 AM I would say that it needs to be tuned to e85 to get the most out of it. but yeah boosted engines love it! so many benifits!! but way way less enonomy :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont you need a tune to get max results, thus on a turbo car being able to run more boost, timing etc.. = more power.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most factory flex-fuel vehicles will exist as a 'greener' alternative blah blah and unless they are boosted won't really have much wow factor.

Posted 10/11/10 08:31 AM Share Posted 10/11/10 08:31 AM that is a gay comparrison. its stock tune with 98 vs stock tune with e85. if you do race tune/setup with 98 then same car with e85 + big injectors... then we will see!

Detonation is generally the limit and E85 raises that limit massively....6BOOST posted some really impressive results with minimal hardware mods recently :-) Everyone who tunes with it loves it! The V8 supercars don't benefit much in terms of power but the 'green' aspect is good for the sport since it would be heavily criticised these days if they were still sucking straight fossil fuels!
