Looking at E85 at the moment .

it would have been easer to just use nitrous the bay just keeps getting more and more fuller trying to do the  waste-gates now.

Be interesting to see how much boost you can get. Fell across an old Street Rodding magazine from back in the Pro-Street fad era and the hatch on the cover reminded me your thread.

Wow Aaron,

 

Nothing quiet like a twin turbo V8, great looking dash, and you certainly are getting all your Christmases at once.

 

 

How's the E85 idea going? or should we do the full E100.

Yeah, that's why I was asking you Aaron,

 

When thinking about octane rating:-

 

E85 is rated at 105 octane and E100 is rated at 113 octane

 

So I will look into what else is involved,

 

other than using a 1/3 more of it than Petrol in a High compression Engine.



low compression engines, use close to double the amount, because of inefficiencies

I run mine on pump E85 and don't have any problems , it's been in storage over winter wile I'm waiting for a shed to be built the only thing I do is cap of the tank vent . It's had the same fuel in it for 3 months and I've started it and got it hot once in every 4 weeks
