Anyone run e85/flex fuel in a vr6 before? I realise standalone and bigger injectors would be required. Just wondering if it would be a decent difference being N/A

When I fill mine up I go 50:50. 98 to e85. Works a treat

Was that with your ms3x? Or can you do that with stock ecu/injectors?

Having a laugh.

Done it on plenty of jap motors. Bit more lenient.

No point thinking about it on NA. Petrol is more explosive so you actually want a bit more of it than e85 has.

Ethanol burns cooler therefore colder combustion temps which means you can wind the boost up and advance the timing to the moon.

I'll try find the article but there was a back to back comparison of a V8 supercar on E85 then on E70 and it made 20kw more.

Just run 98.

No advantage with e85 in a low comp stock VR6 motor.

Yeah unless you are going to build a crazy motor, even then you only really see big gains when you're running turbo

Yes. Yes. Yes. If you're serious I'm down for this.

Keen, don't need more wheels for the vento, but some cash in my pocket would be lovely.
Will Facebook later

I have a sweet collection of parts aside for the CL:
- Front coilovers
- New strut tops
- New gearbox
- New clutch and flywheel
- VR6 seats
- New steering wheel/shifter/hand brake lever
- New exhaust

Now have to save $$$ for:
- Roof repair/respray
- Paint guard
- Sort out bumper, headlights and grille.
- Head liner

All of the above should take 2 weeks but will probably take me all year!
