Hello, not trying to derail what you guys are talking about currently but in response to the first few posts in this thread talking about e85 and timing...
I've run e85 in my car for quite a few thousand miles now and can say that as a daily driver having the crap beat out of it, the car is holding together well and really hauls for a 14b car.
My tune currently has me at 12.5AFR and north of 20* of timing. I have some tuner pro logs on my tuning computer that I'd be willing to share. My car is running SwedeDensity (dsmecu.com) for the tuning software.
I actually don't know how to tune pump gas so that will be fun when I put my new 1g together since I will tune it on 93octane. I've only tuned on e85 and I'm sure because of that I have probably skirted catastrophe quite a few times due to the huge tuning cushion you get with this fuel.
I can say that people have ridden in my car before and been very impressed that it's a n/t 1.6L bottom end with a 2g head and a 14b. I've also been asked several times if the AFR is too lean in my car after someone saw it on the gauge. They when I tell them what the timing is at. I'm basically able to make the 14b cry (~20psi) with a motor smaller than it came installed on because of e85.
I should fill out my mods list someday... maybe I'll wait until the new forum migration happens.
