Anyone using/running Ethanol in their turbo cars?

i was going to do some tuning tests w/ e85, but the closest public filling station is 100+ miles away. there are a couple places here in atl that have it, but only for military or private corp consumption. there was fuel/energy supplier here that looked as though there was a limited access (w/ fuel card) station, but that turned out to be the georgia power private access station as well.

most dyno widebands don't read past 10:1 that i've come across, but my techedge will read all the way down to 0 if necessary. if anyone comes up w/ some e85, hit me up.

Just get a good water injection kit. Spray a mixture with methanol if you want.

sorry dont want to race a time bomb. Meth injection is nothing but a band-aid.

No that is untrue. The same could be said about anything.... nitrous, etc.
When used CORRECTLY with quality parts and torqued and adjusted to proper specs you shouldn't experienced broken or disconnection of parts. Like in every situation when pushing the limit, "its all in the tune". If your tune is dead on, you will experience great results.

you keep tellin yourself that. 1000hp can be made on just c16 without some stupid meth injection. time bomb plain and simple.

I dont know how it is inducted, but what if your pump goes out or something? Its electrical, that shit can go out at any time. Hell you can run out, case in point. Charles with the blue evo nearly fucked up his car with that meth shit at import showdown. He ran out like mid track and was reading like 6 volts of knock.

Meth injection is the opposite of nitrous. If you run out, you are still running less timing and more fuel, unlike meth, you are running more timing and no more fuel or maybe a little more if you up boost pressure. With hondata and its nitrous control feature, there is another map that it will switch to for nitrous and I presume that it switches back to the original map when/if you were to run out of nitrous.
