    You can DD on E85. It's fine, especially in summer. Just don't go to the ragged edge on timing, and expect a little lower fuel economy.

    Since the BCM track day. I retuned it for E85 on the way down there I need a little bit of fuel system rework though, as I am fresh out of fuel.

    Yeah, i know you can. I just don't want to worry about finding a station with it when i am away from home, which i am a lot. for me switching between 93 and E85 is fliping a switch for the map and draining the left over fuel with the pump and return line. Should be a 15 min job. I'm sure once i get it tuned for it i will never want to go back. Although runing 28-30 lbs of boost on the way to work an back will be quite jerky.

    Good topic about e85 aka corn race gas.
    E85 is already proven that it will make power. but it does take 15-25% more fuel depending on the set-up.
    I personally might just use e85 this year @ 30-35psi on street.
    I've seen 700+whp on e85 4cylinder turbo.
    Besides I do have 160lb injectors so I don't have to starve for fuel lol. plus it is very cheap gas

    good luck
    Personal Best - 10.4 @ 140mph(110oct)2010
    10.9 @ 130mph (92oct) 2010
    10.004@154mph 2012. & still need driving lessons

    If a different blower was going to be put on the car a real man would change to a turbo.

    That's a lot of boost for 1000cc injectors. But if your turbo is small enough you are probably okay.

    Just be careful as 1000cc on a 4-cyl awd is probably "only" good until 400whp, anything past is honestly unsafe.

    Yeah, its the stock EVO 8 turbo, (big 16g). It should be good for about 350-370 awhp.

    stock evo8 turbo is a 18g man...i used to have one....max boost it would push was 25lbs and 1000cc injectors r way too much for that amount of power....i added a walbro 255lph and kept the stock injectors and made 330awhp...they werent even maxed yet with a tune...

    when i had my civic i was running 93 octane and making 460whp. 28psi and race gas i was making 600whp. boost is alot of fun as long as you can get some traction but with awd you should be ok i have a corvette now on nitrous that isnt nearly as fun but maybe someday ill build and boost it so that it beats out my old civic. only problem is ill probably need over 800whp to do that.
