A happy illusion I agree, but I just couldn't wait the full warranty period without doing something to the car, and in my opinion that E-85 tune is the best bang for your buck!

we'll see if this holds true down the line...

our cars weren't designed for e85 and chances are its going to destroy your fuel system over a longer period of time..

just curious what all you think is going to be destroyed and how?

none of the newer cars available today should have any problems or ill effects running e85. injectors wont go bad and get clogged up with olefins(e85 will keep them cleaner than pump gas), pump wont fail, gaskets wont dry out and crack, and so on.

The reason it can be bad is because its a dry fuel and and it sucks in moisture. Then again gas also has water in it as well. Most of the ppl you see saying its bad are ppl who own older cars with metal gas tanks, older rubber components, carbs with cork. Pretty much any car from mid to early 80s and earlier is what im talking about.

Your understanding of e85 is commendable; your statements, however, provide no support to your argument.

What leads you to believe that 100% with out a doubt a fuel pump in our cars won't fail to e85 over any period of time?

These cars were NOT designed for e85, they may handle it so far, but unless u are a toyobaru engineer behind the design of the fuel system or have owned one longer than the normal wear life expectancy of our current pumps, you're wrong.

Use your search button and you'll find a thread talking about a disintegrated fuel pump filter that the OP attributes to his e85 usage.

Thanks marine, it's obvious you're still boot. Maybe after you spend some time in the fleet you'll learn respect.

Hey we need lab rats... let them be. I would like to make the conversion eventually but I enjoy watching people fail for me first.

wrx, vette, evo, bmws were not made for e85 either but i know tons of ppl who run them with e85 and havent had any issues aside from fuel filters. That was only because they didnt get a new one after switching to e85

as far as the fuel filter failing how do you know it wasn't a crap filter from the get go and that the 10% eth wouldn't have caused a problem? another thing nothing is 100% pump gas or corn juice. crap is always going to fail no way around it.

I agree crap is always going to fail, you know that better than most anyone on the forums. However, we are not evos wrx's or bmw's, our car is too new to know all its problems.

I could be wrong and E85 will never hurt another car past the assumed damage of the one here on the forums.... or that could be just one reported failure of many total.

I'm not trying to start anything or argue, i'm happy to let someone else, like you, blow their shit up so i can learn from their mistakes. I'd rather not risk my own finances on such a venture.

now can we stay back on topic of the awesome FA20 turbokit
