i know you can make huge power with just meth and no intercooler. can you do the same with e85 and no intercooler? talking 1000+rwhp.

 

i would think so considering its mostly alky. not AS much but still have the same effects as you would running pure alky.

 

It would be interesting to try, but it won't pull the latent heat like methanol will from the intake charge. Use caution, test it and tell us what happens!

Just be careful Jim

 

How big would the injector be for 1000 hp on just e85 ? My guess would be close to 200#. WOW

 

Unless you did a 16 injector setup.. With a BS3 that is possible...

 

probably a little smaller than just meth. going to start with 8 160's and see how far that gets us. step up when they run out.

i dont know that i want to be the guy living on the edge, probably try and intercool our latest project or run meth. going to start a new thread on meth.

 

oneone with a C5 was doing just that. he was running a 408 with a F2 all on E85. think he made close to 1200bhp, cant remeber.

thanks Chris.

 

Why not just inter-cool it???

 

just looking at all options.

 

Here you go

The contest had 7 competitors all running E85 with no intercoolers and all making 1200+

 

would be interesting to see-

what about trying e98-

u guys are luckly at least u can get the e85-e98-we can't

 

I know that alcohol takes alot to detonate. My instructor in college builds top notch tractor pulling trucks with blown alcohol hemis. They run 12.5-1 compression and 55-60 lbs of boost thru a 14-71 hi helix blower. He says that if he could spin the blower faster he would. That says alot for detonation resistance. He is a well known with the nitro guys and has a huge name in the hemis and builds 2wd tractor pulling trucks. 3 time crew chief of the year when he was with the kodiac sled. he has no reason to lie. So i believe him.
In college we also had a tractor pulling tractor that was a six cylinder diesel block that has staged GIANT turbos ran 100+lbs of boost and made 3000 hp. Once again alchy is where its at. I just wish they sold e85 around me. But they dont.

 

no pressure drop from the intercooler. less wieght. less pipes to blow. no cutting of the car, and complete stealth. wow i might just can the cold side of my project.

 

i think when these guys say alkey that they are talking about meth. not e85. i have seen enough info to know meth can make the power without an intercooler. just dont know about e85.

 

nice. that looks promising. 1200rwhp driving that belt... hmm.

 

I have the C5 from the contest. It make 1200rwhp on E85 with no intercooler. I am not planning on running one but will prob have to run water injection on it to get the IAT's down on the steet. I am using 160lb injectors and was at about 90% duty cylcle at 1200hp. I only made it to 5000rpm before I ran out of pump. If I had gone to 7000 I would have been out of injector. The guy with the Rambler in the contest had a set of 240lb injectors that he got from an outlaw or pro5.0 guy( I think Steve Petty). He was making 1640 and still had some injector left. It is definetly doable and reliable. I've been running E85 for 3 years now and its flex fuel, have had no problems caused by the fuel.

 

how much does e85 or e95 cost-

 

I believe it is about $2.80 in the Chicagoland area right now.

 

dont feel bad, half the country here cant get e85 either. closest station that sells it is a tank and a half away from me...


ps- are people in other countrys going to start calling american cars "corn burners"?
