Switching to the dark side! - E85Performance.net

Howdy, my name is Jason and I currently live in Nebraska. I've been researching E85 for a few months now and I really can't find a reason not to make the switch. I do plan on converting at least one of my cars, but very possibly two.

Anyway, the cars I'm looking to convert to E85 are:

-2005 WRX STi with a 20g/TD05H/8cm
-1995 Taurus SHO with a built motor and a Vortech T-trim.

Now I'm off to research all the information within this site!

It really is the bright side Jason ! Welcome aboard !

On your WRX- there really is a lot of info out there thanks to "Hotrod" on a couple of websites. Let us know if you have trouble finding info- I can direct you to them if do you not find answers here.

Thanks!

Yeah, it seems that there are quite a few people with STi's running E85. The good thing is that all the research and trial/error has already been done for me

Thanks! It runs great. I have an electrical issue that I haven't had time to fix, but the last dyno was 438whp on 91 octane and a tune from my old setup. FWD proves completely useless.
