Can someone who is running ST* or street prepared convert their car to E85? Or is there a rule that bans that? I would like to get everyone's thought on E85 in general as well.

You are allowed to run your car legally on that fuel in any category, since it is specifically listed as "pump fuel" in the rulebook.

But you may be limited in your ability to "convert" your car, depending on the category. In SP, it is easy, as most of the fuel system is open. In ST, it gets harder, since you can't change anything in the fuel system, other than the ECU tune. So if your injectors or fuel pump do not have enough headroom to push the extra fuel needed, you lose.

 

Should have some dyno results tonight! Been doing a lot of pulls and haven't run into any problems at all.

 

Got to have some fun on my way home. Initial observations:

part throttle and immediate response is NASTY compared to before. I actually burned 3rd gear getting onto the highway with half throttle! Then just in general as you stab WOT the car is a LOT more responsive and powerful sooner.

Im down to 1/4 tank of 1:1 and tomorrow Ill be going Full E to see how it does. I saw a max IPW of 10ms and still a max IDC of 33% but typically around the 30% area.

Edit: OH...and not sure why but the car pulled hard to 7k... *shrugs*

 

^^^LOL Awesome. So are we still thinking that bigger turbo and full E is probably too much for the fuel system to handle? I know Vince thought it'd be better to keep me on the blend with the 2860. I dont mind the double fillup, but being able to just use traight E would be a convenient

 

Have there been any 08 models having any luck with the full e tune

 

Mine is an 08. It's an HHR SS, but, still it's an 08 and very similar to the Cobalt

 

Thanks a million Vince for the tune!!! Haven't had a chance to test it out, stupid rain. I'll send you some longs for you to look at as soon as the weather permits.

 

i gots the corn from Vince Today. I will do the cut over Tomorrow and do some testing on the 09. I am like a kid Around Christmas eve.

 

I might load mine in tomorrow depending on the weather

 

Made 350hp and 439tq. I'll post up the dyno sheet tomorrow since I have no scanner at home.

 

 

whats your mods?

 

Holy torque!!

 

That's what I'm thinking. I'd be worried about the tranny at that point.

 

thats what new clutches are for! lol!

 

I posted my mods a couple pages back.

 

That is some serious gains... like 35 hp and 60ish tq

 

No kidding.

Check out my War Story I just posted up. I was amazed tonight. It was one of those things that nobody thought would happen. lol

 

I want corn sauce

 

What's your 60-100 times

Picked up 20 gallons of E85 this morning. Need to run another gallon or 2 of 93 out of the Balt

 

As long as all goes well tonight with the Full E85 (hoping Vince is around for some email action) then I will be dyno'ing the car tomorrow Trying to better the E47's 346/414. Nothing has changed except clutch and full E85 now.

 

LOL
