Thread: anyone running e85 on a ve?

For a while around here E85 was much cheaper than 87 gasoline.

You can run 11.1 VE and run 18 psi and higher on 93 !I know a guy in NY who has a DD with that setup .

Yes but its not avalible in NY area only one or two places sells e85

I will in my vet ( stock 11.1 motor)p11 next week let you know.

You would be very lucky if you only used 20% more. Most guys up here use at least 30%, and as high as 40% more. Even tuned for "economy".

Imagine getting only 120 miles/tank no matter how nice you drive!

E85 here is about the same price as reg 85 octane. It pretty much stays that way throughout the year. Great performance gas, but horrible for a daily. You can make some really crazy power on it though.

Kesi you said a guy was running 18psi on 11:1 VE? on 92-93 oct? That is just silly. I have run as high as 24psi on 91 oct with 8.5:1, but I was told that amount isn't safe. So I keep it at 19 and under on 91 octane.

Way off topic lol.The things I see everyday is silly,I saw t28 & t25 running 20 psi+ ,I see sr16 pistons on pump .I see an all motor ve reving to 10k with a 4 cw crank making more power and people dream of on the forum.I saw stock sleeves sr20ve make over 700 whp FWD.I see t25 car ran 11's.I I see all kind of silly stuff lol. I guess we just silly in NY?.I wish one day i can give the forum a taste of whats going on but it will start fights of whats possible or not so it just have to stay that way.I keep seeing everone saying "they say its not safe" who is they?.Now I'm not saying go do this but I have seen some silly thing work.....PLEASE DONT TRY WHAT I HAVE SAID.Now back to topic E85....

i run zylene + 93 mix well besides never ever knocking it helps throughly clean injectors an exhaust ports.

to put nyc in perspective, don't do what they do unless you are 100% willing to wrench yourself. NY/CT/NJ are hardcore old school racers. If something blows up, oh well, build another one and do it all over again.

post it! who cares about the **** fights! to quote an old aussie saying "harden the f##k up!"

also i will be running 13.5:1 comp (sr16ve pistons) i am eager to see how it all turns out, I think its good comp for e85. The car is going to be a thrasher so will defiantly run no cat, no air con, and probably no mufflers
