Still a lot of unknowns. Are one person's amazing results repeatable at every e85 pump in the country?
E85 car that has been sitting around a lot since July. here is what i just saw.
Turned ON my car in 45* temp and saw water dripping from my turbo-- Not sure of where exactly
I did let the car run for a good amount of time -- the fan cycled at least 5 times before i shut it down for the night.
i am going to be upgrading my turbo again real soon, i'll post pictures of the housing when i remove it.
exactly why i am sortta scared of low miles old cars.Mine has always done that, whether it has gas in it or E85. Water from the exhaust gas condenses in the cold headers and it ends up dripping out from between the downpipe and turbine housing. If the engine were shut off during this condition it would allow an opportunity for some nasty corrosion to happen. Perfect example of why it's important to come up to operating temp every time the engine runs.

It is my car and I always warm it up to 160 before driving it; it now has a 180 thermostat. I didn't add any additives, always filled up at Thorntons, and drive the car roughly 1000 miles a year or so. It isn't a track car, I do get on it when I drive it, and the car just turned 34k miles. Last time out it ran a 12.0 @ 111mph exactly like it went to Rick.
How so? It is still driven and ran right before Rick pulled it apart.
