Hi guys, I've been reading up on this fourm and doing my own research on e85. I am in colorado and we have a few ethanol pumps here. I have been playing with cars for about 5 years and have owned and blown up a few FI's in my days. I have a 98 honda civic that i will be converting to e85 this spring as my new scholl is going to be 5 minutes away from an ethanol station.

here is my setup please feel free to coment.
1998 d16y8 completly stock with an OBDI conversion and Crome tuning
t3 .60 turbo from a thunderbird with hf mani and adapter plate
2.5" exhaust, charge pipes and Front Mount Intercooler
450cc DSM injectors

I plan on gettin some bigger injectors maybe RC 750's and a warbro 255lph fuel pump.. I have no experience tuning with e85 but i doubt it would be much diffrent than gasoline except for more fuel and timing

anyway just wanted to say hi

Welcome to the forum!

There are several folks here in the Denver Metro area that are running various conversions or partial conversions on E85 with good success.
If you need an E85 friendly dyno tuner, talk to Harvey up at Super Rupair, they have a dyno and he has tuned their shop car on E85, and is familiar with my E85 experiments as well.

By the way his shop car is the quickest Subru in Colorado right now, capable of running sub 11.5 ET's on demand. It is probably capable of 10's but until he gets a roll bar in it the drag strip won't let him make a full bore run.
