E85
« on: July 23, 2010, 03:08:05 PM »
Ok, so I've read a few posts on different sites about E85. I see Romper Stomper is going this route with his setup. Does anyone have any information, either firsthand or that they've read that you care to share? Mind you I probably wouldn't do a conversion since there's not a fucking e85 place within 75 miles of my house. BUT, I want to know about it. Pros and cons.

Thanks

from what i know it burns cooler than regular pump gas. I know that it allows you to put more timing into your motor similar to the way you would if you were running 100+ octane race type gas.

The big appeal with E85 is that it burns clean, and cool and that IF you can find a station that has it, it's a butt load cheaper than any race type fuel.

My builder really wanted to go this route but I didn't want to deal with trying to find the stuff all the time. I guess there is a carb shop in the IE that will do a conversion to your carb for like $250.00

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

Isn't it really attracted to water and vice versa?   Therefore best run in a FI setup and not carbed?

Proppy and I have been, well, "Negotiating" and "Navigating" over this for some time. Plentiful around me for some reason, but not at the lakes. Is available in Parker and Laughlin tho!  :thumbup: , checked that out first thing! Some of the local gang here want to see me do it first. Sorry to post a thread from the "other" site, but that's where the answers were.

Pickles blown BBC will be E85. It's kindof on the backburner 'til Moo is fixed and running again and I put together the bread to finish it. Still arguing with myself on Moo............(now that all my visitors have left, I can get the arguement back on. Those people just DIDN'T UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!) Biggest arguement is cioming from RJ, who does NOT want a huffer on Moo.  :screwy: kid.

I'm pullin my motor this weekend :(
 spun a rod BEARING FROM MY OWN MISTAKE THAT HAS GOT ME FIRED UP. :banghead:
 I'm up grading the 468 to a 496, 60 or, 80 over so like a 500 somethin and switching over to e85 along with a bigger cam and dry sumping.I'm going to dyno it b4 its gets bolted in. cant wait.
I'm excited about the gains. The milage will be rough especially with a 200 shot in the mix.  might have to sacafice a back seat for a 55 gal drum so I can drive it for 30 miles with out runnin it dry. lol :screwy:
