E85 for 4AGZE/GTE

Post by GreatGorilla »

Tried to do some online research but could only find people running, or trying to run E85 in an N/A 4AGE. I wonder if anyone has ever tried it in a GZE or turbo variant and seen significant gains?

The benefit of running E85 is being able to run more boost or higher compression ratio ... or a combination thereof (it is essentially a higher octane fuel, and comparable to mid grade race gas) . Just converting a car from dinosaur juice to corn juice will do nothing on its own as far as power gains go.

Hope that puts you on the right track ... all puns intended.
