Wow :P

 

looks great in red. Gotta love E85 too

 

Very nice!

You're pushing 32 psi on the stock snail?

 

I love them slammed and wingless. Looks nice.

 

Looks good.

Been hearing great things about E85.

 

I was thinking the same thing. How long do you expect it to last in this configuration?

 

clean evo bud, props!

 

Thanks for all the positive comments fellas, I appreciate it.

I expect the stock turbo to last forever. I change my oil every 2000 miles and most of my driving is on my daily commute which is 30 miles each way. I beat the car religiously, but the car is still ticking very strong. We'll see how long the stock snail lasts, but I'm not worried my bud has about 10 stock 8 turbos sitting at his shop that he'd probably just give me.

 

E85 is the bee's knees dude. You can gain like 30-60 whp with just replacing your fuel pump, injectors and fuel rail with a tune. Less miss fires and you can run the timing up to like 40+ Plus the benefits of using a cleaner fuel saves your engine in the long haul. Engine temps are lower too making it that much better for your block. Oh yeah and the ability to run ridiculously high boost without misfires is a huge bonus. i'd highly recommend it to anyone. Just remember to gap your plugs to like 0.018 or so to eliminate any sort of spark blowout

 

Car looks great.

I think I'm going to do an E85 setup on my Evo. Thanks for the info.

 

E85 is the way to go, just a heads up though. You will definitely need to get some oil catch cans. I've checked both my injectors and my intake manifold and when the oil runoff from the PCV leaks back down the oil mixes with the ethanol and makes this sticky sludge. Definitely get yourself a catch can for the PCV side or you could really be in for some trouble.

 

32psi burning e85 with 880 injectors? How are you getting away with that? What's your static fuel pressure? What does your IDC look like?

I can't run more than 16psi with 816 injectors when burning e85. Mine is a 2.5l, but that add'l .5 litre isn't going to make that much difference.

Please share your trick.

 

Cool... Sorry for the ignorance but can you use the same AF sensor

 

Its not a trick. From what i gather E85 has a pretty good octane rating, like running race gas, but cheaper.

Basically you can use the E85 to run more boost and aggressive timing, both will equal more power.

It also looks like E85 does take more to work properly which is the reason for larger injectors and upgraded fuel pump. This is also a good move to make sure you do not run out of fuel.

If you are tuning/modding it yourself then you may want to do some more research to make sure you are doing it properly. A lot of shops are moving over to working with E85, so you may want to find a shop that already has experience with E85.

p.s. i personally have no experience with E85 but thats what i gather from it.

2.5L 4G63? How did you do that? if you don't mind me asking.

ISS: Yea you can use the same a/f sensor.
