As many of you guys who frequent this forum already know, have been running a 25% mix of E-85 with nothing but high-praise to report, took a few direct scan runs, is there somewhere here I can post them? The O2's start to dip down into the .760's over 75 MPH. Was at .800 when the temp was 50, now its in the 20's..
Will the temp cause this much of a difference?
When tuning with E-85 or a blend, would it be better to focus on the A/F ratio?
However, there's no knock, and gas milage hasn't changed, at least nothing measurable... and am running 20 psi., was only able to run up to 17 psi. if I was lucky and got a good batch of pump gas. Seems that the R+M/2 method doesn't apply itself very well with E-85 and the research octane is more important when judging how well a fuel is against detonation, as I wasn't expecting this much of a difference in regards to using it as an octane booster and was reluctant to use it for this purpose as the toluene worked so well,.
I urge every single TR owner to up the fueling and run 25% E-85. Even at this modest level, you'll notice a difference immediately.. Been running it for long enough to report no issues, and will keep you all posted as time passes..
Been driving the car through all these recent ice storms, no cold weather start-up issues to report, my daily driver has been out of commission for several weeks, so I've been forced to drive my Monte in the snow
. It is actually surprisingly good, shh, don't tell anyone, remember that our cars aren't supposed to move at all in the snow .
