[QUOTE="SteedaX47, post: 11694040, member: 132755"] Sorry, I have not run both meth and e85 but I do have experience with e85. Not a whole lot but I run it on my rear turbo gt, my buddy runs it on his wrx wagon, and my brother in law runs it on his 351 swapped t76 fox. My experience was that my turbo did spool quicker. I have no actual explanation cause the e85 is colder and lower egt's but since you're burning more than with gasoline there's more mass of exhaust to flow, which will spool the turbo quicker/easier. Please someone else feel free to chime in to correct me lol. On to the two different tunes thing, I'm in co and the temps vary between 100+ in the summer to 0 or negative in the winter... the two blends are different in that summer has more ethanol than the winter blend. This is not a huge deal aslong as the tune is right just like 04sleeper said. Only thing is id recommend tuning on summer blend cause then you can really take advantage of the more true 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline. Winter blend here can be as low as 70% ethanol, 30% gasoline. Since you need more fuel on an e85 tune, the car may run a lil rough when super cold cause the fuel has more gasoline in it than what it was tuned for. So now its running much more "rich" than it should be. Once running for 30 seconds it should return to normal. If that makes sense. Again, please chime and correct me if what I'm sayin is wrong or doesn't make sense. I'm going off of what I've read and experienced and filling whatever gaps using my knowledge and way of thinking lol. Id hate to sound like an idiot so defitinely feel free to correct anything lol. I hope any of what I've said helps [/QUOTE]
