I am pretty excited... We are tuning my car tonight on E85. Tested it on my friends civic last night, and it made 630hp at only 26 pounds of boost. I am hoping that we can make about 550hp. Ill post later on this evening to let everyone know how it went.
only 26psi????????????
Normally at the track that car ran about 35 to 40 pounds of boost. So I guess that the word ONLY is correct on this certain application. HAHA
CORN POWER! :burnrubr:
Well?? Results???
wow.... just, wow...
Well...I had a complication on the dyno. My stock fuel pressure regeulator needs to be replaced with a boost sensitive one. Basically The stock regulator crapped out after about 20 pounds of boost, and at the high end of the powerband it would start running a little lean. The gas is great though. Kinda smells like wiskey when it burns. Pretty strange. I ended up making 433.1 hp and about 400 tq at 19 pounds of boost safely today. Im working on getting the kinks worked out of the fuel system so I can finish tuning. The car wants to make power so bad. I just have to get it some more fuel. Here is a pic of the dyno sheet. Sorry that the Tq numbers arnt on there. Ill print one out that has it when we finish everything. Peak Tq on this map is around 3900 rpm.

Ill post a vid shortly.
Smells like whiskey *and* makes power? I need me some of that.
Also I forgot to mention that The gas cools EGTs down significantly because it supercools as it evaporates. Pretty neat.
Awesome job. good on ya.
now if only you there were gas stations that sold it.
Impressive!!!!!! I really want to ride in this beast someday.
Going back to fix my fuel system problem. Going to retune early next week. Its 550 hp time. we are going to build a return style fuel system.
