Default E85 with turbo setups?

I was just wondering if anyone here has tried running E85 with there turbo setup guys with evos, stis, and s200s have seen really good numbers with it and ive seen alot of tuners that recommend it. Ive seen a company on the internet that has made over 1000 crank hp on ls1s with E85. just wondering if anyone ever tried to run it with your turbo setup thanks Happy new year

Do a search, I believe there are some here that are using it. I fully intended to go E85 but changed my mind. E85 would take around 15 - 20 % or more fuel to make the same horsepower. I am already maxing my fuel system out on gasoline. So I would have to upgrade my fuel system which is $$$.

Yea thats what i have seen is that it takes more fuel to make the same power. but ive seen that because it takes so much more fuel it quenches the combustion chamber and helps to cool it a considerable amount. With my turbo setup i plan to run dual bosh 420 pumps with stainless lines front to back , and whatever injector size that is needed. Supposedly E85 is equivlent to 100 to 105 octane gasoline depending on your station you fill at. The biggest problem ive seen that turns most people away is the availability o ffilling stations. And luckily enough i have one pretty close to me. Im still reasearching everything so and expiriences and knowlege would be greatly appreciated. thanks
