67banshee01 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 Have pipes and .030 milled head. Tors on stock carbs. Wanting to see if anyone has found a way to run e85. Figure its cheaper than premium and will allow for higher compression with it being a high alcohol content. Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 You have tors.... You have no need for e85! Quote
rubberneck Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 it may be cheaper gallon for gallon but have you done the math when figuring how much more e85 you need to burn? Quote
chevota84 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 You'll burn about 30% more than gas, it draws moisture just like methanol. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2 Quote
67banshee01 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Posted June 17, 2013 I know it uses more fuel but thinking more along the lines of power advantage. E85 is much cheaper than race fuel or av gas Quote
67banshee01 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Posted June 17, 2013 Just wanting to really bump up compression. Like around 180. Soon will have a +4 crank and mild port Quote
67banshee01 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Posted June 17, 2013 The oil approved to run alcohol prevents that Quote
joey83 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 Higher compression with 85??? wouldnt the lower octane need lower compression? Quote
joey83 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 Didnt know that. thanks. sorry for the thread jack Quote
67banshee01 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Posted June 17, 2013 So is there a way to run the e 85 with my stock carbs??? Quote
