E85

[Alladin]

Hey folks,

I've been out of this forum for awhile but just came upon something that I wanted to know about.

I met a guy with a Calibur SRT-4 that had it tuned to E85. I did some reading and found out that it's 102. Of course this interested me because it's so hard to find 'REAL' 93 octane and I know my car gets an attitude if it gets bad gas.

I know fuel lines, gaskets, etc have to be changed to run E85. But has anyone run it on a stock MS6? How does it feel and what real world experiences does anyone have?

I have read alot of threads on this over different forums and mostly have come across people OPINIONS, nothing valid. Any help would be appreciated.

Is it 102 or 105? I know that you have to increase your injector size.. I believe it takes like 30 percent more fuel to use it or something or other.

Im pretty sure you have to up your injectors

don't put e85 in your ms6, its not worth it.

Why do you think that I wouldn't be worth it? Just wondering.

Here is a nice article from Import Tuner Magazine.
E85 vs. Conventional Gas

Its not worth it because our stock fuel pump and injectors are already to close to being maxed out. Then your fuel tank corrodes and clogs fuel filter, injectors, etc etc.

i mixed some e85 into my gas and my car ran better until it relearned and went rich again. E85 can make a lot more power when tuned for it... but your running a big risk and we would need bigger injectors/pump to utilize this.
