Yeah in a race application I can see it being a good alternative to high test, but the thing that gets me is they are blending it with pump fuel and charging more for it yet lowering your mileage at the same time. Seems to me if this is truly a renewable energy source it would lower the cost and e85 would be somewhere in the $1.50 a gallon range instead of averaging $2.75 like normal gas does.

Pump e85, even with only a 105oct rating, routinely out performs leaded 110oct, and has produced results comparable to C16 (at least in the Evo world). Mixing in more gasoline with e85, will reduce the ethanol content, which reduces it's cooling effect. To get the best results without dry rotting your fuel system would be straight ethanol mixed in with about 2% of race gas.

Well it was a fucking disaster :rofl:
The 1000cc's didn't fit right, cuz apparently the X injectors are slightly different. This was after i rewired the fuel injector harnesses to fit them. Got it all in, and fuel sprayed everywhere, had to pull it all out and replace O-rings.
Then, my ECU flash worked okay, but apparently the 1000cc injectors were low impedence, and the ECU wouldn't read them right and constantly threw a code for fuel injector circuit failure
So, I had to put it all back to stock, solder the factory ends back onto the OEM harness, just to get back to square one. I am going to order some DW800 injectors and do it again.
On the plus side: i can disassemble a 4B11 fuel system in about 5 minutes now.
