E-98

[Quick Turbo V6]

Has anyone tried E-98 yet? I'm looking to run that instead of C-16.

Thanks,
Scott

I just ran it on the dyno sat. you can do it on E85 than c-16.

Sorry to threadbust here- Smoke25-- I see in your signature list you have a 2008 year C300 --would that happen to be the 3.0L flex-fuel C300 Luxury or Sport?

I need more octane than E-85 has.

How much octane is E-98?

How much octane is E-98?

E-85 is about 105. E-98 is about 114.

Add a razor kit and inject some methanol on top of the E85?

E-85 is about 105. E-98 is about 114.

here is my understanding of octane ratings on e85 which can get confusing due to the variety of fuels that come out of e85 pumps depending on location and climate:

e85 is the marketing name for various high ethanol blends that pump out of pumps labeled e85/105 octane

winter blend e85 is actually e70 which is approx 105 octane hence the 105 octane "minimum octane rating" on the pumps sticker

summer blend e85 is 85% ethanol and has an octane rating of approx 112 allthough it is often referenced that ethanol fuels act like they are higher in octane than the 105/112 rated numbers due to the excellent charge cooling characteristics of the fuels- seen a few posts where more hp was made on pump e85 than on c16

between the winter and summer fuels there are transitional fuels between 70-85%

go join modual mustangs and fast fords and do some lurking in their e85/e98 section , several guys are running e98 over there and have posted some data showing improvements above and beyond e 85 , mostly boosted Cobra guys messing with the alky fuels over there

once some people on here move up to e98 from e85 the mods will need to change this section to e85/e98technical forum

E98 only has an octane or 114? I doubt its that low. Id bet research octane is over 125.

I`m with ya ,i hear there are multiple cars of all types in south Florida making well over 1,000 rwhp on e-85 straight out of the pump.We don`t get much of a seasonable blend here i`m thinking.

down here in florida, Gabby Rojas went 9.98 @ 140 mph with iron champion heads on e-85 with full interior and a/c ... videos on youtube if you guys wanna see... almost 4 months since he did it and no one has yet to come close...

Well I went 9.8's @ 150+Mph in my 3250Lb Talon on E85 last year, and am going to try E98 this year. The thing to remember with Ethanol and Methanol is its not just the octane rating its the amount of cooling and detonation resistance of the fuel itself.
