The extra power doesn't hurt either

I wouldn't just fill up with E85 after having pump in the car and than go all out WOT. This has been tested using a ethanol content reader on various vehicles before on many platforms. No bashing towards you I just wanna clear that up for the OP asking questions. I don't wanna see another car blow up on this forum for a while.

I literally time it so my car is running on 93 fumes as it's pulling up to the pump and drive it conservatively for the first 2-3 gallons. I'll usually cycle a couple tanks too. That's the only annoying part for me other than the distance, is having to calculate the perfect time to go get e85. I don't like mixing fuels too often.

That is the exact reason why I picked up a flex fuel kit.

I have one station for e85 by me. Just easier to run it whenever I want and not even have to worry about how much is left over in the tank, whether it be e85 or 93.

I need to pick one up. Right now I am on e85 98% of the time but will put $10 of 93 if I'm not near a station. Its pretty annoying that I have to plan on being at a station when I hit empty to put in 93 then again for when I am ready for e85 again. It's very rare that this happens to me though.

It is possible to replace the existing hose but it is NOT easy.. I replaced it because that was where my vacuum leak was coming from. The factory hose does not have any clamps on it. The only way to replace it is to take the throttle body off. Pulling the existing hose off is the easy part but getting the new hose on is a pain. I ended up taping the hose to the end of a socket extension. I made sure to leave a long tail on the tape so once I fished the hose onto the fitting I could unwrap the tape securing the hose to the extension. It isn't too hard to get a long screw driver down there to secure the hose clamp either. Just go in under the the the charger from the passenger side parallel to the ground..

The fitting on the block is a 9mm fitting. The factory hose goes from 9mm to 15 mm so you will have to either get a different sized nipple for the catch can or find a way to step up the size. I just used a 9mm fitting on the catch can.

For those of you who are running a dual catch can setup. Could you please report back in a little while and let us know how much oil you are catching in the NON PCV can? I haven't seen much residue coming from that hose and would like to see how much it catches. THANKS

Yeah this is what I wanted to avoid. I picked up @PrimeMotoring 's flex fuel kit, hoping it comes in today (think it was shipped yesterday) so i'll be installing it this weekend/week. Can report back on it, but a bunch of other cars are using it and they seem to be great so i'm not expecting anything negative from the kit

This is true, after having ethanol in the car I wouldn't want any loss in power by having to run pump gas.

What?? Where do you live? I'm in North Phx and to my knowledge there isn't any E85 up here. Wish I could make the switch but it has to be convenient.

I'll soon be part of the Innovate Supercharger Owners Club, lol. Over the past week I've gone through all 150 pages to try and find out any tips or problems, yada yada and get an idea of what I will be doing. Today I got in touch with Mike over at Counter Space Garage and ordered my Stg.2 kit. He's a great guy to deal with. I plan on getting a few more items together before installing the kit and get everything over with all at once. Looking forward to this kit!!

Bill @ Delicious is the front runner. There is someone here locally that I'm considering but given what Bill has accomplished with this kit, I'll probably go with his.
