Mixing e85 with 93 octane

[Ttype6]

Have any of you guys had any experience with mixing e85 with 93 octane instead of race gas . I'm on the fence of using e85 . Don't know much about e85

Do you have the ability to adjust WOT injector pulse width?

No this is my first turbo Buick . I know it has plugs inside the car was told it was to hookup a laptop to the car has a wideband o2 . It has a digital innovation fuel air mix gauge in the car. I'm not sure if that will let me. Have to excuse my lack of knowledge of this car but I'm trying to learn it. Lol

remove the access panel from the ecm and look at the chip (big one) and post up what you find.
If the car has a PL of the other scan tool it might have an updated adjustable chip.

It has a tt 5.6 set at 16-18 boost 60#injectors and 92 octane . I know I got to send the chip back to tt I made some upgrades on the motor it started knocking a couple of days after I got it . It has a DLS 206 roller setup in it now .was a flat tappet before . I also bought a modded ecm and 83# injectors and I purchased a set of 8445 heads that had been ported and polished and went ahead and rebuilt the trans and 3200 converter and the car has a scanmaster and a Garrett 35 turbo that was modified by workturbo said that basically same as a 6262 now. I've spent a bunch of money on this car lol. Hope to get it finished soon all I like is roller rockers ands pushrods .

the TT 5.6 chip is adjustable, go on the TT website and look up the instructions on how to make the changes.
Just be carefull the wrong change can take out your Engine.

IF it were me I would ditch the modded ECM .. ditch the 83#'s

go with the siemens 80#'s .. stock ECM ... and have ERIC send you a chip for the mods you have and run the car on E85

YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED with the results

His Chip work great, but to get most from your build you will need to fine tune.

How do the spray patterns compare with the new 80's vs. the older low-z 83's?

Newer 80's .. hands down... especially when you run them at higher pressures

I have mixed it many time I would mix 50-50 or as close as I could get .the big thing would be the consistence of the mix I would run close to empty and put 7gallons of each I would run 26 lbs of boost with 18 degree timing with 60 lb injectors with no knock that was with 91 octane now that 93 octane is a available also have a station with 110 at the pump I just run 93+ally turned the boost down to 20 and don't run it hard any more this was with a te44 after 4 transmissions in a month I'm afraid to run it hard again got tired of braking and being tolled just cruising for now until I get confidence back the tranny going to stay together

yea I know sounds crazy 1st one twisted forward drum shaft so I had my stock transmission freshened up by a local shifted fine just wanted it fresh to install it lasted 3 miles lost 3 and 4 smelled burnt builder refunded money didn't want to mess with it again put new forward drum in first transmission lasted 50 miles twisted drum off again removed this time I bought the billet drum and shaft installed with new 9.5 2800 stall convertor with balloon plates new 10 pass derale cooler with fan and 180 thermostat (fan kick on) in trans line .Kind of got discouraged after all that just glade I had access to a two post lift and a good friend with a car trailer would have got expensive just tolling.no way I would have laid on my back in my garage at home and took it in and out that many times well maybe 20 years ago I would have in my late 50's now just to hard to crawl around these days I guess
