451ft-lbs and 365Whp. Reached my 400hp goal

Impressive numbers.....

Done any 0-60 or 1/4 miles runs on it yet?

The car is pretty traction limited to say the least

This car is a beast!

nice numbers felix.

insane torque numbers. why so much?

I ask myself the same thing

 

[travisminchew]

Because redblock

 

[cosbySweater]

Because proper turbo

Just to toss somethings out there, e85 has a greater flame speed. On top of that, you need more of it.

Keeping the above in mind, do you have an e85 specific tune with regard to timing?

 

[Stiggy Pop]

I'd be interested in seeing the tune if you're willing to share it

Good job Team Athlon and Team Fige

Yes e85 specific.
I'll post it if I remember once I am home

 

[t8fanning]

What exhaust manifold are you using?

Good job Team Mafoose and Team Fige

Ive done nothing other than occasionally showing up.

Not in low compression engines... it's funny that way... since it's so heat absorbing, it really needs a squeeze to work properly... When used in a low compression engine, and not enough of the introthermic breakdown processes has had the chance to occur, it burn's ****ing slow, as the (not compressed enough) gasses in front of the flame front suck much of the heat out of it, making it burn slow. That's why most flex fuel engines that has a compression ratio that is rubbish-gasoline friendly, needs ****loads of ignition advance when opperating on E85.

Good infoz mang! I was reading some other places talking about how particular it can be regarding ignition timing, but perhaps the real trickiness to it is CR?

However, and at the risk of sounding like Gale Banks, might some of the torque numbers be the result of a longer slower burn? So even as the piston is heading back down, you still have a burn process (un-spent charge) and expanding gasses?

Isn't that the point of the higher octane fuel in general; to burn more slowly so you can add more advance (to a point.. mbt).

I always thought the point was that it was detonation resistant. I know that sounds circular, but perhaps I should ask if burn speed is a side effect of detonation resistance?

Detonation is related to the burn speed, but not a side effect.
