    Converting to E85

     



    I've found that by converting to E85 I can save a lot of money and get to get to use pump petrol. E85 isn't that all that easy to buy in the UK yet, but all I had to do was buy a second set of main and idle jets drill them out to 140% of the size and re-time the engine two more degrees BTDC. No more octane booster. Over in the States I read E85 is easier to get , I read some engine builder was getting 10hp per whole digit over stock and better fuel economy too.

    Trolling for business again are we, hope you enjoy the spambots who latch on to your email address?

    Might I suggest you take note that this forum does not allow this type of business practice.

    Also, if I was you, I would never, ever consider using virginmedia.com as their technique for spamming is well known and again not tolerated on forums such as this.

    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.
