E85, stock turbo II - Page 2

rx4ur7 · 08-13-2009, 03:03 PM

Well guys, I am going to try it. Have a forced air EFI sandrail here that cracked an apex seal besides flattening the springs. Ignition was locked at 34* advance and then found
NA rotors. I was trying to convince the owner to let us try E85 before I tore it down and found the rotors. Cost is going up and he really doesn't what to have to go for a new set of turbo rotors. So he has now OK'd the project.

For grins we are first going to see what everything looks like with the original setup. I believe we will be upgrading the pump, injectors and get an E6. I will try to keep posting updates on the shop website.
Thinking of selling the NOS system.

i haven't seen anyone address the other issue with this. you are planning on converting a turbo II with an alternative fuel that has a lower BTU than gas. less heat means less exhaust pressure and less boost.
