i used to have a friend with a k20 eg, he ran it on e85, and it ran great.
expect a 16-20% loss in gas mileage (which, with how cheap gas is currently, off-sets the "cost effectiveness" for a commuter car.
you would absolutely have to have tuning done on it, or you'll blow up your motor.
it'll give you a more broad, better torque curve with some extra power if tuned properly.
Long term, you'll have to switch to solid or SS braided lines as e85 will eat through rubber soft lines in time.

i dont think you can mix them, but i might be wrong.
i know people here run some of their boosted civics on e85
if they couldnt be mixed then all of the FFV'S " Flex fuel vehicles " would have to have zero gasoline in the tank in order to use E-85. Now if your tank was completely empty, How would you get to the gas station?
what a smart dudeif they couldnt be mixed then all of the FFV'S " Flex fuel vehicles " would have to have zero gasoline in the tank in order to use E-85. Now if your tank was completely empty, How would you get to the gas station?
and this is why i said i might be wrong.if they couldnt be mixed then all of the FFV'S " Flex fuel vehicles " would have to have zero gasoline in the tank in order to use E-85. Now if your tank was completely empty, How would you get to the gas station?
I was just giving you s**t dude. Props to you for not saying it wont work at all. I get pissed when I see wrong information when its just someones opinion.
google E85. you will probably have more luck finding out what needs to be done and the different specs and mileage that can be expected.
it got moved. like every other time i make a thread lolTuning a car for e85 with a vafc is a problem waiting to happen IMO. If you're going to do it, it should be done through a more reliable program such as hondata. Again, just my opinion.
The added Ethanol content in e85 will eat through soft fuel lines in the LONG run (talking 8-10 years), e85 is 85% Ethanol where as normal gasoline contains 15% max (hence the e85 name). E85 is roughly 108 octane, and lately people have been having problems with inconsistency with e85 fuels in their vehicles causing detonation from what i've been hearing/reading.

When was the last time you saw alcohol absorb water?
