E85 Questions...
 
I'm excited to run E85 when it becomes available! :D

I'm just curious to those that have e85 on a stock car...what is it like lol?

I can't find many e85 videos on youtube of the FRS/BRZ and you can't tell how a car feels from a video.

Any cons anyone has for e85? Does e85 really cause hard starts in the winter?
Thanks guys! :thanks:

I have a bunch of e85 videos on my youtube page.

E85 picks up big power over stock !

Only major con is cold starts (in 30F or lower weather)

Nope, that's been resolved

You notice power improvements on a NA motor with E85? I thought E85 was only beneficial with Forced Induction? Can some clarify that? Thanks.

Research. More Power. Less MPG.

Mike from Moto-East has a e85 tune on his Stock Brz, it made a big difference.

E85 = all good except MPG.

what are you averaging?

What I would like to know is if you guys are running e85 every day and if so how long have you been... or only days that you go to the track ect. I have a e85 tune coming but I dont plan on running it every day. Only a few days before I go to autocross ect.

ScionFrsFan 03-11-2013 12:22 AM

The question is how long can the car run on e85 before problems. I know that other cars have run e85 with no problems but still...lol Once I try e85 I don't see myself going back haha.

Can't really tell you haven't really bothered to figure out the mileage yet,...but there is a ton of bad and misguided bias against it out there, 9 10ths of it just plain wrong, the only real concerns are availability in your area and getting a bad blend,(not gauranteed at pump to be E85,its possible to get more or less) and or if your car sits for months, it doesn't like storage to much.....the rest is all good, burns cleaner, less carbon deposits, burns cooler/less engine heat. Anti Knock quality, a tuner can advance timing alot more with it.
