Wow, that paints a nice picture as to how important that 60' is. Almost the same MPH on the last 2, but over 4 tenths faster

just reading this post to see where I left off. A lot has happened. I found a bunch of leaks intake and exhaust. there was break problems. I think I have fixed them. I have also done some upgrades. 6776 turbo, 3.5in down pipe, 3in exhaust, h+r motor mount, and s10 brakes. after discovering the bad parts I think this is going to be good. I see alot of people are going with e-85. that is great we can work together to iron out the bugs

Yeah I finally got the E-85 flowin...I ran into some problems with bad heads and what not...ditched the BS3 and went back to the stock ecm..I'm surprised that my 120's DC is at 75 already at 20 pounds I have a feeling that by the time I hit 27#'s I might be out of injector, however I don't really want to crack the block so I don't think I will go past the 120's....a trans flair on the 2-3 shift is keeping me from upping the boost at the moment

It seems the e-85 part is working great but every thing else is fighting me. I spent the last two days putting my car back together. adding the motor mount, turbo saver, one night and trying to get this exhaust to work is a pain in the a$$. I just need to buy new stuff/win lotto

hey, I was wondering if any one is running two flue pumps. not two in tank pumps, but one in and one external. I was wanting to run a in tank pump for daily driving and flip a switch for the external pump if I decide to get on it (let it eat). I am thinking about the life of this external pump and the noise. I don't mind the sound so much but it scars off the mustangs. the pump is around $500.00 and I don't know how long it will last as a daily driver. I was thinking a y fitting with some kind of check valve so that one pump doesn't flow flue back through the other pump in to the tank. just kicking it around. the pump is running great, the whole set up is running great :biggrin:

I haven't posted in a while so I'll bump this thread by saying that every thing is running good. i haven't had any problems running e85. I plan on a tear down this winter to check every thing out. Ill post any discovery's.

I would have to look at the odometer and try to guss. I drive it almost every day, I took it on the hot rod power tour (Iowa to southern ill.), and a few trips to Chicago (2-3 hr drive). oh a few trips to the track.

me and jdpolzin pulled my moter last night. It went ok, there was some issues. the big thing i wanted to post is the gunk on the injectors. not good. It seemed that I had to turn down the boost over time. I wanted to get a power logger to check the dutey cycle. seemed to lean out. I guss it wes the gunk on injectors.
Wow. One thing is for sure, the gunk IS NOT from the E-85 I assure you. Your going to have to dig deeper. There is nothing in the E-85 that leaves gunk, its the anti-gunk fuel if anything. E-85 will leave white reside but not black gunk.
***** edit****
There does seem to a correlation to additives in some mixtures of E-85 in regards to the black gunk in different parts of the country
Ethanol does not melt rubber.

Go to post #36 click on that link and scroll to post #107.
The guy there had the deposits tested. The problem is definitely connected to the additives that are used in different parts of the country, additives that are NOT compatible with E-85; i.e. additives( detergents ) that would normally be used in pump gas.
It makes sense now why why people like me with a stock fuel system with over 25,000 miles are not seeing and it and other with brand new everything are seeing this issue.
Not trying to question your integrity but have you seen or read actuall data that says the ethonal will definately not eat at rubber? Has it been tested on heat with rubber anywhere? I'd be on the other side of the fence as to why you arent seeing it with a stock fuel system and the people with new fuel systems (rubber lines) are seeing it. Seems like a common problem. Once again, dont take my tone the wrong way but I wont be using rubber lines on my car because it's too much of a risk.

E85 and rubber are a bad mix.
All new vehicles do not use any rubber in their systems.
Nylon, Teflon, Viton and various solvent compatible plastics are all commonplace now.

If that is true then why are new EVOs, WRXs seeing this gunk and others are not? And when I say others I mean some with 10k or so miles on the car are clean as a whistle and the guy with gunk got it in less than 2k.
I have still not seen and report or study that shows Ethanol eats " fuel rate rubber hose" If someone has a link please post it.
