A friend is making 595 and 430 on E85 on only 21psi, daily driven EG.

 

E85 user here.

 

what do I need to do to make my car run on e-85 (95 civic)?

 

stock?, just switching to E85 isnt going to make you go warp speed, unless you are doing it for the environment, there is no reason for you to switch to it. Your car needs to be tuned on E85 otherwise just an aftermarket pump to be safe and a tank full of E85 is all you need.

No.

 

Basicly 28% more fuel (bigger injectors) and a good tune is all you need - my turbo car runs great on the e85.

 

thanks for all your help, but how do u think a 55shot of spry will do??

 

sigh...i wish they would bring it to my hometown

 

You would have to make sure that you jet it 28% richer on the fuel, I wouldn't spray on e85 because of the inconsistent ethanol to gasoline mixture - if there mixture changes a little then you afr would also.

I know. I would love to let you tune my car on it when it's all finished.

 

with any luck, my next tune will be on E85...its all over Fargo and the surrounding area

Heck yea man. I'm running 1000's on my setup now which are way oversized, but would be great for me if we had that E-85

if it burns hotter, how does it lower EGT's and Coolant Temps?

 

It was probably way lean
