Before I store my car away for the winter, I'd like to try out some E85 to see how well my car responds to it. What percentage of a mixture can I get away with if I mix it with premium 93 Octane? I have ran toluene up to 25% with no issues. Will I need to up the fuel pressure to compensate for the amount of E85 I add? or is it not a good idea to add any E85 with the components I have and the way the fuel is set on the chip I have? Its basically just a street tuned chip for 15-17 psi with 93 octane with very little timing, its posted in my sig. The car will knock at Full Boost with 92 octane, and worse with 91, it "needs" 93 or better to run right without these issues. I have found that adding a gallon of toluene to a tank of 93 octane is what the car likes the most and was hoping I could substitute E85 instead as its more readily available. How much will my milage go down if I run a more significant amount of it?
Thanks guys... I posted this as well in the E85 section, but no one ever seems to check there, I'd like to get some tonight, if possible, and try it out and get a reading on direct scan.
