Re: 50/50 E-85 and 92 octane

EvilEvo (Tim) is running E85 in his Evo. He was in the process of switching between the FMIC to a water to air intercooler, decided screw the intercooler all together and run methanol. Well we found some "issues" to running straight meth right away. Our biggest issue was the fuel rail needing to be annodized but we just found out the A-1000 isnt meth compatable. So he decided to run a intake pipe from the turbo to the intake manifold without any intercooler just to see how the car would run. Put some E85 in it and it pulls like a raped ape at 20psi. Seeing well over 250+ degree intake temps he still sees no knock. Besides the shit smelling weird coming out of the exhaust, its actually really cool. Amazing that you can go to the pump, pay $2.19 a gal and turn around and race the damn car on it. To add to that, if you had a FMIC, I wouldnt see why you couldnt run 30psi on the street with it. I think I'll have to try it to see how it works. 30psi on pumpgas... Mmmmm.
