RX3 vs RX7 vs. RX8

[clutch-monkey]

yeah E85 i've seen done, LPG doesn't strike me as a good conversion really, not when the main idea is to save fuel?? (don't buy a rotary then)

E85 is where its at for a cheap race gas IMO. Its 105 octane and cheaper then pump gas. Thus you can run more compression or boost with it and still come out cheaper.

Isn't E85 better on gas?

If you mean mpg then no. It takes more E85 to equal the reaction gas creates. On turbo cars they have to run larger fuel injectors and pumps to work with Ethanol.

^ Ok, that makes sense. But why have the E85 then. I see alot of it on american car manufactured cars.

Because its made of corn and lessens our dependcey on oil from other countrys.

For e85 need more A/F and giant spray nozzle. Propan/butan have good octane rating, more clean for air pollution, have a wide acceptance, price is below.

and increases our dependency on iowa.

oh yeah, and wrecks our engines not designed to use it.

and increases our dependency on iowa.

[cargirl1990]

Or people trying to get Alberta oil. EVERYBODY WANTS ALBERTA OIL...

[cmcpokey]

gotta be careful with your canadian oil. it'll make your engine run backwards.

Major LOL. Bush wanted it. I know it!!!

E85's hot for a lot of enginebuilders. About the only advantage to this ethanol nastiness I can see.

You even need bigger injectors for NA, Im upgrading from a 295cc to a 440cc
