noobiemcnooberson. Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Anybody have experience using this fuel? Does Ips still sell it? Features are looking attractive vs a comparable VP fuel and seems like it would be less hassle for me not needing to drain the tank before storing.

Jewtoys Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Nvm looks to be discontinued Didn't they roll this out not too long ago? Why not e85-e98? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Good it sucked! There claims were rubbish. They told us if you just put it in a car it would make more power. Really I put it in a boosted car and it made less power, After dialing it back in which took only a 2-3 pulls it did indeed make more power, But we added timing and leaned it out to gain that power.

DKilbourne Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 E85 haz da smellz! No reason for anything else if E-85 is available in your area, for us boosted folk that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you have added the same amount of timing on regular gas without inducing knock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time you change gases you should retune. Specific gravity is different from fuel to fuel regardless of octane. And if they actually told you it'd make more power without retuning then they're ignant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobiemcnooberson. Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I just don't want the hassle of draining my tank every time i use a alcohol based fuel before storing the car. I guess I'll bite the bullet and upgrade my fuel system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I used to use an oxygenated 110oct VP fuel. can't remember the name though... the talon looooooved it. would drop .5-.7 in the 1/4 just swapping the fuel. Injectors were too big though, so could never get a real nice tune on it with the bigger setup. on the 14b turbo it literally went from 13.19 on 93 to 12.6 on the 110. It wasn't too expensive either.

thorne Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'm well aware that when you change fuels you should tune. But she'll claimed if you put it in and make pulls you would gain. Power. It was indeed race gas and on a previously knock Limited car we were able to add 3 degrees and gained about 25whp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmiller74 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 It worked very well in my nitrous vette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
