well id like to find someone a lot closer than that but if it comes down to it! as long as hell let me set up bunk in the back bay at his shop for a night i might could haha

I'd suggest Matt Shue if you are semi close to the Richmond area. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerouser?c...e&id=999311607

Making E85 is pretty retarded though. It's something like $2.50 a gallon and you are going to use 30% more than you use gasoline so if you drive more than a couple thousand miles a year you are going to have a hard time coming close to reaching your demand. Not to mention the general inconvenience.

I should note, if you plan on runnning this thing on 93 octane, expect it to blow up. On top of that, any tuner that basically says they don't want to tune their car is saying the right thing so don't dismiss it and think they are an idiot. There is no way I'd touch a 12's compression H22 running 10psi on a typical T3/T4 if they were running 93 octane.

well the more i thought about it day i pretty much came up with what you just said...i think im gonna pull the pan off and see if its sleeved...if it is ill order some eagle pistons that are slightly less compression 9.5:1 or so and some rods if it doesnt already have some. the car needs an oil change comming up probably friday... so well see what happens thanks for all the help ill keep yall updated

Re: compression psi to ratio: compression test results!
 

WTF so you'd rather pay $4.25 for 93 octane then $2.50 for 110 octane? I dont give a ---- it takes 30% more, the stuff beats filling up with race gas just to drive back and forth to work. I dont ever want to go back to regular pump gas after getting use to e85. The ---- loves teh boost.

sick too bad CALI is gay no E85

Re: compression psi to ratio: compression test results!
 

whats the difference in mileage after the switch from 93 to e85? right now im getting between 185 and 275 to the tank. 275 being strictly highway of course.. 185 killing it around town

Re: compression psi to ratio: compression test results!
 

You're illiterate. Read things again. I've suggested using E85 the whole thread. I said making his own ethanol and mixing it with gasoline is stupid as he won't be able to keep up with his own personal demand.

Re: compression psi to ratio: compression test results!
 

looking into it a little more there seems to be a lot of waste. i believe theres like 10-30% of usable ethanol even off of straight corn and other starchy and sugary feed stock. it doesnt take long to make at all apparently being it doesnt have to be purified like drinking alcohol. i think i could possibly make enough to keep up. it would however be time consuming and thats something thats hard to come by at the moment. i think im better off paying 400 bucks for a stock closed deck motor and throwing 10 psi at it for the time being untill i can get pistons and rods. and spraying the 12.5 motor in the slow ass busted ring land turbo ls crx...
