Default how to make my spare d16z6 run on ethonal

how do i do it?
i have a spare block and 2 sets of pitons,2 cranks, basically 2 motors and a d16y7 head,

is it possible? hey technically this is a technical question the most technical question i have seen on hre in the last few weeks

ive read that needs to be a super high compression, so maybe p29's? or pm7 pistons with a y8 intake manifold? y8 head gasket

this question is aimed at bense ive read he had his 3 stage vtec run on eth for a night
but any1 else can chyme in kinda a side projecyt and if it works out all and all maybe i could build these things for kids that won't touch there motors mostly high school chicks and stupid old people that think if i touch something itll explode

so what does the motor need? if it neds to be tuned i can do that over at the dealership i work at

Unless they're high milage or they want a [relative] crapload of power, you don't have to rebuild. You can run E85 with a completely stock motor, just needs some special tuning (fuel and timing) and larger injectors. For a e85-specific motor, you'd want to use those domed pistons, maybe shave the head, and otherwise use OEM parts to rebuild.

Other than that, ethonal is (in most basic terms) high octane, low energy fuel that burns cooler, meaning higher compression, more timeing, and larger amounts of fuel dumped in.

In all honesty, I wouldn't suggest it since its not 'the norm', assuming you haven't built a few motors or tuned different setups before.
