Re: E85 Powered VR4?
Built lower end, steel crank lightened and knife edged, aluminum flywheel, crower rods, weisco pistons, my own ported cylinder heads, 1mm over valves, springs, titanium retainers, stock cams, FMIC, IPS 16g turbos, hot wired pump, 255lph, SAFC2, IPS down pipe, still have the cat back exhaust. Only thing restricting was the stock MAF which got really weird at 13psi and the data logger would not keep up. I now have a GM Maf, Gen2, and will piggy back the SAFC. The tuner thinks that he can squeeze 700awhp at high boost on the next tune with out any problems although I'm going to add a boost-a-pump just in case. I also have a boost-a-spark that I'll probably put on as well. It seems that E85 runs cooler temps and the computer is even adding timing at the last dyno pull. I have had no problems what so ever with E85 as of yet. I do get to hear a ton of people tell me that it will cause damage, but in Colorado it's the best gas I can get locally at the pump at the price of $2.20 per gal. My ECU just had a melt down so I'm trying to decide if I want to go with an AEM or keep the stock ECU. This is my first import, but I'm pretty impressed with it although I'm sure that I will start breaking things soon.
