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