If ever yku do start a thread up on it. Be a good one to watch

Totally agree with this. E85 on a mild NA motor is going to net only a small % increase in overall power.

Thanks guys, I was just thinking out loud, hope it helps others aswell, it just dosnt seem practical for me as I don't use the car enough

lol i use my race car every 3-6 months, practical never came into my mind hahahah

E85 is also very hygroscopic, needs to be kept full in the tank to prevent watering down, more work required for little gain. In a race car though its

Smell great also

I don't know how true this is but aperently in winter (in Victoria) anyway they drop the ethonal down to 70% so cars start easier ?

yeah that's right, and that's why people say to go with united as they don't change the ratio at all ....

honestly how well I can get straight methanol to start with efi I don't see why you'd need to dilute E85 in winter?

Where do you buy methonal ? And by winter what temps ?

Newcastle is normally low-mid teens in winter to single digits at night.

yeah about 2-3 DegC is the lowest I've seen in tenambit, a bit more inland than Newcastle....

we used to get methanol from a truck company that ships it in on return empty loads (ELF brand), but we are getting it from power plus fuels now, they deliver to us and hes a racer at Gunnedah so happy to support a fellow racer!

don't get me wrong, methanol will crank for 5 seconds before firing, but its WAAAAY worse than E85 when cold, every time I've used E85 (usually just when not racing for a while as I can get it from the bowser) it honestly starts like petrol in winter!

mostly its about getting the cranking fuel numbers right, and probably helps having a good atomizing injector .... but spend the time on the crank tables and you can work wonders on alchi!
