e85
Anyone know how much is usually ok to put in and what map on the jb4 it should be run on? Also what performance mods are you running while running on e85.

You need a downpipe at least to run e85. You'll also want to make sure you're running flex fuel wires on your jb4. A charge pipe is a very good idea as well.
Map 5. 4 gallons of e85 and 93 the remainder. It's important to note that some cars don't react the same to e85 mixtures as others. Start with less (1 or 2 gallons) and work your way up. Post your logs for review on Burger's forum to make sure everything is running well. |

I wouldn't say any of those items are REQUIRED for e85. Highly recommended though to take advantage of the higher boost level e85 will allow.
e30 is a good starting point for the 235. I run 91oct + e85 = e33 @16psi map 6. For our cars e30 = 3.65gal e85 + 10.05gal pump. Assuming pump is e10. |

To run about E30 nothing else is required except the tune of course.
By no accident, intakes, downpipes and intercooler will offer more gains Otherwise E85 in itself coupled with the extra boost and ignition timing will yield more power and increase the knock threshold (main goal). |
