E-85 conversion

Elmo370z · 03-28-2015, 10:20 PM

I was thinking of doing an e-85 conversion based on the fact it's so cheap here in fl. I'm staying NA, so I know on not going to get big gains.
Looking at cj motorsports fuel system. Any helpful info will be appreciated.

Just as an FYI, while its cheaper, you burn through it faster, about 30-40% faster

My suggestion, don't do it

You don't need to do it unless you are going to make big power. It's a cheap version of race gas.

Yeah that what I was trying to figure out, it is my weekend car. That would equal to me getting 13 mpg in the city?

Can you go back and forth easily to 91? I'm interested too.

Where can you find E85 at the pump in Tampa/St Pete area?

I think this thread has all the details you need for N/A E85 conversion and likely gains...

I'm Tyrone at bullingers I think that's what the gas station is called. Last I check E-85 was $1.86/gallon.

Only thing to be careful about with E85 pump gas is that it isn't always truly E85. Sometimes it might be more like E70 and other times might be more like E90. This is why most people I know that run corn in a high performance applications (prepared autox cars) are actually using E85R which is the race version of E85 and guaranteed to to be 85% ethanol. I'm sure if you had a very safety oriented tune on the car you'd probably be fine with pump E85 though.
