[QUOTE=04caliwrx;3083570]thats cause you go so fast!! I like how I get like an avagage of 18-22mpg on 91 on the wrx and about 33pmg is the gsr lol[/QUOTE]

Lol. On 91 thats what I average 18-22mpgs. I knew going to E85 would greatly reduce my milage but I didn't care. I don't commute it daily. Its my evening and wnkd car.
On 91 I put down a conservative 277whp 308wtq at 18psi
E85 went to 335whp and 400wtq at 21psi

[QUOTE=Subie*Chickie12;3083550]Nat! I haven't seen you since BAP!! I get around 350 a tank too. And I commute Fremont to San Jose 5 days a week, and whenever i decide to trek to SJ to see fam on the weekends. Is it an easy change over from regular to E85?[/QUOTE]


whos:sign0013: this????

[QUOTE=SeaOfGreen;3083568]This is same PSI run on 91 and E85?[/QUOTE]

91 tune is 20psi
e85 is 23

[QUOTE=LGT Mark;3083636]91 tune is 20psi
e85 is 23[/QUOTE]

LOL, how can you say you got that much more power when you added 3psi! Try same PSI and try again, hard to say how much you gained with E85 if you don't really know....... :rofl:

This seems like a perfectly reasonable comparison given that you can run more boost safely on E85 vs 91. Isn't that one of the main reasons to run E85?

I run it because it smells good ;)

I love my e85.. might not get enough mpg that i would like but like dallas said, it smells good!! and recently i started to back fire after letting off the throttle.. not sure why..

more boost & more timing

Why would I pay for an e85 tune that runs the same boost as 91? :confused:

I'm guessing you have a built motor? Wait you got some small 18g that don't make much power, would not be smart to run that much power on a stock motor. Can't compare numbers and say I gained this much power when you jumped 3psi and bumped the timing. I'm saying a true way to compare E85 to 91oct would be to run same PSI and similar timing and compare numbers! When you posted your post it was like 70whp and 90wtq difference. Going to get people excited thinking they are going to get gains like that! If you have a built motor you can do alot, why not try 25psi? I would think that turbo could handle more boost.......

If you read their post its their race car. And as for my car getting between 10-12 mpg on 91 is because of what I drive. When you drive a 500+hp car it's easy to get low mpg.



[QUOTE=SeaOfGreen;3083526]This is like talking dyno number, everone drives different and has different mods and tune! How you drive and the tune you have is a huge part in gasmilage! Don't know what cars LIC are driving to get 10mpg, my car gets 180-220 on a tank of E85. Anyone who gets 10mpg either has a heavy foot or has a crap tune![/QUOTE]

I manage about 240 miles per tank...and if I really behave, 260, but definitely no more!

DarkJuic3b0x 06-17-2011 07:07 AM

Hengman, I get a few pops as well, not often, but it still happens
