E85 is a cheaper than unleaded but burns quicker so it evens out

What boost level could I run with it? Would I need to do anything else? Stock motor btw, and 4bar map.

I've a friend in Sioux Falls that has been tuning ethanol longer than most have known about it. The swing in Sioux Falls is 60% in the winter to 90% in the summer. That's a HUGE swing. I would highly recommend running an ecu that does flex fuel CORRECTLY or running a Zeitronix Ethanol Content Analyzer. If you're running an AEM Version 1 or Series 2 you can use the Zeitronix Ethanol Content Analyzer output to User #2 Fuel Trim.

Hmmmmm, yeah that's probably past where I want to go with the car. I would rather stick with hondata. I'm still torn between keeping the turbo or selling it and getting the sos blower and just running one boost all the time. FYI, numerous people have told me about the guy in Souix Falls; however, I've messaged him on facebook since there is no email address on his site and it's been around a week now with no reply. Idk if he just doesn't check it or what but it's a tad off that he doesn't even have an email in his contact link on his page. That is unless I'm just blind.
