B18c e85

[aznstyler]

Is there much power gain ? also what will be needed to run E85 on a B18C eg

[u mad?]

for na setup, only like 3-6 kw gain.

you'd need upgraded injectors and a tunable ecu like hondata s300.

not worth it for na imo, maybe if its a dedicated track car.

[eg5civic]

Lol not worth it especially if it's just a stock b18c. The amount you'd spend on getting it to work and tuned you could do more basic mods and achieve a better result

As above, if its basically a stock motor there is little to no point.

If the motor had really high compression or it was forced induction (effectively high compression) then you would see a benefit.

Some one told me using a certain type of e85 fuel will rape your fuel lines

[khanguskhan]

Not certain type of e85, but transitioning into e85 from normal petrol will require you to change them. but in a normal petrol car and you fill up at United for example, with added ethanol is bad for your fuel lines.

[senna]

Any form of ethanol or alcohol style fuel is going to be bad for regular petrol lines and filters, especially when left to get old for a reasonable time. E85 will destroy a regular carbon style fuel filter too, which can and has lead to engine damage if not failure.

So if you are building a car, build it to suit E85 then you will have heaps of room for extra mods on normal petrol and reap the gains of E85 later if you choose.
