Thread: Who would be interested in a 4-1 header?

Does all fuel gasoline need to be removed from the system prior to E85 usage, or can you just mix until it's gone?

Thanks for the info,

JCC

im not saying you shouldn't, and working in the automotive field myself i know damn well people blow plenty of smoke up peoples ass's so they buy more expensive crap and don't need it. i believe you run it and the car runs well. i am simply worried about the long term effects and i would LOVE to see you blow that myth out of the water. it will open a new door for us "gas engine tuners" to stay in the game without expensive conversion kits when petrol really starts to sky rocket in price.

however at this moment the only things i have really heard at all is that E85 in a bone stock petrol fuel system is bad........PROVE ME WRONG I PLEAD YOU! pics are worth a thousand words. or even links to sites that have good proof. only thing i was going by was word of mouth and wikipedia

seeing as how E85 is actually a mix of dyno gas and other good times i don't see a single side effect of mixing other than not getting the "full octain rating" of e85's claimed 105ish octain. of course if you just built an engine and it requires no less than 105 and you are mixing e85 and 89 octain gas that is a very poor idea.

Pics of what is the question? I can take a pic of me at the pump, but aside from that there isn't much to take pics of. You tell me what you want to prove it and I'll do it.

The only thing I can personally say is, that E85 turbo honda tuning started two years ago. I recently got it in my area, and immediately put it in my car and retuned. There hasn't been ONE incident to date of E85 causing anything but good things. NOT ONE. If that isn't proof, I really don't know what is.

Failure over ten years maybe...who knows though? All I can say is, if Congress required all vehicles manufactured tolerate ethanol, then how do these people that are against using it explain that? Do they say the rubber can only tolerate SOME ethanol over 20 years, but not more ethanol? I just see too much of a foggy effect here. It either tolerates it or it doesn't, and ethanol has been in gasoline since the late 80's.

Tell me what you want to see and I'll show you.

I'll provide you with what all of us in the Honda world have as a reference. This link is what has guided many to the E85 promise land. ::Warning:: A link to a Honda forum is about to be posted...if your Nissan eyes can't handle it...look away now...lol.

Damian, what did you do to run E85?

I want to run it in my NX too!

RC000E,

First, Thumbs up , to you for even offering us a new alternative header

Second, try to get a gas mileage reading with E85. From what I've seen, American FlexFuel cars get 2-3 less MPG's then their Normal fuel eating cars...

Thanks!

Who cares if your mileage goes down with e85? Its the fact that 105 octane fuel is available at the pump and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Here is a good thread over at the Subie forum: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=803341

man, your late. he's also working on a divorced Dp for us too.

and I don't care about mileage, I fill 93 on my old POS 89 Camry.

not sure what i was wanting to see pics of.............ill get back to you on that

True true, but with normal gas getting even more expensive it would help...
