Motor Mag Does A E85 V 98 Test

[unclewal]

Yes, larger injectors, larger fuel rail and fuel pump (to cope with it using approx 27% more fuel.

I was down at BTA Motorsports too pick up my car the other day and Ali was tuning a XR6T on E85 it had some gear on it but what a huge result very impressive,from what I heard E85 loves boost,I will be tuning my F6 on E85 soon I will post up the results as soon as I do and show the Expensive Daewoo boys what XR6T,s really do on E85

Sounds good but it's a struggle to keep the power to the ground as it is. My opinion is it's worthwhile if you want to drag race and chase 135mph plus.

F6 auto struggles in 1st because the gearing is too low on 98.

My F6 runs a modified torque convertor now and it's even harder to keep traction.

My son races his Evo on E85, and my STi is also changing over to E85 for racing purposes.

I can't see E85 worthwhile as a daily driver, as it's a lot of hassle, and very little will match a modified F6 on 98 anyway.

I wont be runing mine as a daily driver on E85 it will only be for race purpose.I agree I really struggle keeping my power too the ground at the moment considering im runing a soft tune at the moment.

After changing the rail, pump and injectors to suit the e85 can u have a tune still for 98 and 85. Basically can u still run 98 with the upgraded system or is it toooo large for 98? Does that sound dumb???? Its early morning forgive me.

[SuckSqueezeBangBlow]

you can have tune for both - depending on the power you are aiming for you don't need to change the fuel rail.

you can keep stock rails. 1000cc injectors and fuel pump is all that's needed unless chasing over like 450rwkw

I have tuned many XR6,T with very basic mods and upgraded fuel system on E85 with good results.
