Oh I already know all about E85 and how well it performs, I was saying I need a built engine to run my dom3 on, lol I don't think the stock wrx engine would last long with the tourqe numbers this thing would put out haha.

How does the e85 work if sti requires 91 octane all the time? Does it effect the performance?

You have to have the car tuned to run it. E85 has a higher octane level then 91. You will make more HP and more Torque running E85 over 91.

And in reality, the STI actually requires 93 octane or higher, but we can't get 93 here in California.

Your car must be tuned to run on e85 which is basically 105 octane. Yes, it does effect performance. In a great way ;D. Good HP and TQ gains as well as being able to pass the sniffer while being catless.

Is it just a map or what is it you have to make e85?

That pissed me off so much that my brain stopped noticing it in order to prevent aneurysms.

You need the tune (map), bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, and that is the basics. I think there are a few other things needed, but not sure off the top of my head.

Yes you need a map(tuned for E85) You can do an open source tune or use an Accesport. Like Apetron said mostly basic things.
I'll be getting a E85 tune in the near future and I'll be using my stock turbo(VF-39) with these supporting mods. Some necessary others not.
Hallman MBC (Better turbo response)
KS Tech 73mm Intake (Not needed, but I have one)
DW 850cc sidefeed injectors (Biggest sidefeed currently available)
Helix Catted DP
Greddy EVO2 catback
Golan Stainless steel fuel filter 40micron 5-16th barb fitting
(The reason I bought this was to eliminate the intake filter on the STi. The in tank filter is made of paper and was concerned that E85 would break down the paper element and clog my lines. Nation did a nice little write up on removing his in tank filter and relocating it into the engine bay and used a Golan filter.

Exhaust and DP are just my preferences along with all the parts I'll be using.

Maybe Ed will chime in and get you better answer if I forgot anything

I guess grammatical errors EFFECT folks differently. lulz

then again my use of 'are' had it's intended effect, but not in the way E85 affects corn prices.

XxSti05xX

iTrader: (3)

Nobody cares about your opinion. Swear you make it seem like corn won't be affordable to buy. For f*** sake let it go already.
You dont like E85 thats great, their will be more of it for me to burn. Thank you.

i was using that in context to show the correct usage of affect and effect. I see my opinion angers you though, seeing that you've taken up ownership of the collective voice. sorry for voicing my opinion with facts backing it
