Hi Speeders!

I'm thinking about E85 because of the different goodies of this carburant (natural cooling effect, high octane).
I know it needs bigger injectors and a specific tune, but I ask myseld about the effect on the intake parts, the fuel pumps,... the whole engine in fact, after a long time?
Does the car become a "flexfuel" or only needs E85?

If some of you have experience with it please let me know it guys!

In the US cars made by GM and Ford have E85 specific engines - they are different than the gasoline versions. Porsche hasn't designated their engines as E85 compatible so you would need to rebuild yours - why bother?

 

Hey P--Not sure if anyone can really tell you with any certainty about the long term effects of an E85 conversion on a Porsche. If you convert, just anticipate that some parts may not be 100% compatible and may require replacing earlier. If you go with 1100 cc injectors then you can run both E85 and regular gas but it is not "flexfuel" in the true sense of the word. So if E85 doesn't work out then you can just run straight gas.

I see you got the large Y-pipe--nice! I assume you're going do some more modding to fill up that pipe?!

 

Ok, I have to speak about it with Todd...

Not sure I'm going to more mods after the pipe: perhap's 83 plenum or mafless but I reached now the limit until rebuilding the engine...
