true i thought about doing this on the 240sx a year ago but at that time there werent many stations that carried e85.. are there many stations now?

 

A bunch of the Subie guys run E85.

 

There are only a few inconveniently located stations carrying e85 in AZ unless you reside in Tucson. I wish there were more here in and around Tempe, I would convert(no homo)immediately.

are there more stations now?

 

The attached link are all of them to my knowledge, I am somewhat new to the area so I have nothing to base the "are there more now?" question on. If you view the link it's fairly descriptive as to how many are currently located within the entire state of AZ.

Cheers,

tuscon is the place to be. around the valley, you almost have to pick the house you buy, by referencing the e85 stations. I live 4 miles from one, so if i wanted to, it wouldn't be too aweful, then just reflash my ems for a low boost 91 octane tune

There is one guy on the board that I've seen, his sn is 300sx I believe. You would have to replace your rubber hoses if you run E85 because it will eat up your fuel lines from what I gathered a long time ago. Most of the cars nowadays don't have full rubber fuel lines, but just the bends, so it's an easier job.

I'd be happy with my s2000 on E85, I guessing I can make around 220-230 whp with the change, but is the risk of rubber lines cracking worth it?

 

yea i thought the lines maybe an issue for the s2k... but i never checked them out..

 

in all honesty, if i swtiched over to straight e85 from here on out, I would have to change them every 1 1/2 or so. thats a long time. I don't plan to anyways. at 6 psi i will run 91 (most of the cars life) and on weekends where i want to have tons of fun/meets. the mileage suffers about 30% but its worth it to me. 105 octane e85 is cheaper than 105 octane race gas.

e85 is still 15% gasoline, so its not like running straight alcohol or methanol through it, but it is still corrosive. just not much. if you switch back and forth with the plan that i have, you shouldn't ever have a problem.
