    I have been searching internet for info on E85 or other ethanol/gasoline mixes. I have found a lot of info on Subaru WRX's and Chevy LS1's.

    However, these vehicles were manufactured AFTER our federal government started requiring manufacturers to make fuel systems compatible with ethanol. Accordingly, these sites do not concern themselves with compatibility of fuel pumps, FPRs, fuel lines, o-rings, fuel line fittings, etc.


    The following sites are pretty good but are not specific to TR's:

    driving ethanol: Racing Fuel Characteristics

    How to run your LS1 on E85 - LS1 Performance Information

    Ethanol btu's per gallon - OnlineConversion Forums

    Read and enjoy,

    excellent info!

    just ignore 'sarge' in the ls1 link...in fact, don't read past the first 2 posts.

    5% more power just for filling my tank with e-85? and more compression or lots more boost:D one guy's saab turbo got 20% BETTER mileage on e-85:eek:

    obd2 cars are ethanol ready. i suspect gn guys will need upgraded fuel hoses, perhaps fuel tanks. replacement pumps, filters, injectors are already compatible.

    I hear E-85 is good stuff but older cars(ie pre-flex fuels) need Fuel system mods like biggier injectors but it seems like more power can be made.
