not sure either, i think he means his ignition and fuel curves?
If that is the case then for us it was around 22% more fuel for part throttle openings and round 40% wide open throttle. (stoich was 9.76) Used 22 degrees advance all up @ 6500 (stock motor).. got a 12% increase in power on the dyno. Dont know why people want to immediatley jump for after market engine management systems. The one on the BA for instance is incredible. Edit: E85 is affected by the weather, get it tuned in the summer and it'll be ok for winter. yes,would the ef ecu be able to cope with fuel and spark maps,might even max the injectors out with the extra volume,any ideas?

if you got a j3 chip you can change all that, and fit bigger injectors,

im not sure the older Folds can deal with the corrosive qualities of E85, i know the original posters car is BA and theyre ok.

they were still using steel lines up to au, not sure about b series though..
i know a couple of e series running e85 on the std fuel lines without issues yet.. i did a trial run of e85 in my car. and after adding around 40% more fuel all round i come to the conclusion that the power benefit is definatly there but still cost more to run the car on e85 then premium 98. not worth it for a car that gets driven daily.. |

ive seen a skyline engine pulled down after it had ran on e 85 (car was used purely for racing) and it had a heap of black gunk in the sump after it had been drained and the owner said it could have been from running e85?

I dont actually know exactly what kind of material they are using on the BA. i do know that Ford themselves have stated that any of their vehicles manufactured before 1997 wont do it.. not even E10. Basically if you own an EF Series 2 Ford Falcon (1996 model), you may be putting your vehicle at risk. Its not just the fuel lines either, its any component that the fuel comes in contact with that isnt designed for it. Well thats what they reckon.

i dont think fuel pumps like it, mine f**k up but i put a new pump in and its been fine ever since, bio deisel is really bad for injector pumps on older nissan patrols, ive seen a couple pack it in shortly after the owners start running bio desiel

I think i read it somewhere-on a by note-lawn mowers and 2 stroke portables with E10 or higher.ithink i will stay clear of the E85,i travel to far.
