Anyone out there running E85 and Forced Induction? Just curious as I live in SFL, and miss the M156,and with the temps down here being so hot, wondering how much it would probably help, let alone the advanced timing etc...

Just curious...

E85 works great with boost

Agreed, but is the fuel system out of pump? Or need a secondary inline? Obviously larger injectors, just wondering who has and what was needed.

My last car had a flex fuel tune and running E on it boosted helped significantly in power and overall temps...

Would much rather see more cars using corn than going the hybrid/electric route , as it is cleaner than regular fuel...

I am unsure of which direction I’m going leaning towards RS3, but both w204 and w205 is in the mix, with either supercharger or a pure upgrade, potentially a gen2 ctsv, and maybe a w212 14+ E63. I have had an E class before and afraid it’s too big but not 4 doors as I have 2 kids and it will be a DD.

Depends on how much power you are making.

The RS3 will be the fastest with my mods. We've modded all of those cars.

Yeah I know I’ve talked to a couple places and was offered a beta hybrid turbo setup on the RS3, just unsure going that route or new manifold full frame turbo.

Plus it’s probably most expensive on list, however residual may hold up slightly better.

Not sure.

We did an IMS850 kit on a TTRS and it's is a monster 💪

clk63cab

Yeah I could only imagine, and the 850 kit still has nice spool and broad power band(4500 range is nice!) Hank and team are killing it almost 8’s now nearing 160 trap with shop car on I believe the 1000 kit,
and now the 850 kits are getting the revised Xona CHRA, lastly seems like syvecs may help with anti lag and other controls the stock ecu can’t be modified to...

back on topic, any supercharged guys running E85?

Back off topic slightly.

When I was considering converting my modified SR20 powered S15 to E85, I had discussions with a guy known as "PJ" on the other side of the country for advice. He had himself been pushing the boundaries of the SR20 platform with E85 which reportedly spat out near on 1,000 hp at the wheel out of a SR20 with a VVL head conversion. I've attached a short video of his car in the attached link. This was his street car and as you can see ran mid 8's with a H-pattern 5 speed, and the handbrake to build the revs off the line. At the time I think it was some sort of world record with the H-pattern gearbox in this platform.

Yeah that’s nuts! Now with a sequential it’s even more insane!

I believe he's now converted it to AWD out of a Nissan GTR.
