How many people will E-85 their new camaro?
 

Just wondering how many people will convert their new camaro to accept E-85? I am planning on doing an E-85 and premium map but will have to change injectors etc. How will this work with warranty also - good or not?
Opinions welcome.....

Ok for those of us who dont know what E-85ing your car is, IE: (me) im guessing it has to do with ethenol? Could you explain?

If a reliable E85 kit comes out, I will seriously consider it. A Camaro with E85 would be great for fuel expenses since E85 is so much cheaper. I'll want to see a dyno for this kit before I buy it.

E-85 --> 85% Ethanole, 15% Gasoline (supposidly better for the environment) :rolleyes:

Current Gasoline --> (up to) 10% Ethanol, (minimum) 90% Gasoline

God no! Avgas maybe......

Basically with E-85 fuel it is at 105 Octane which I would think would be nice for performance. We have a tuner shop up he road here that has done it for my friends STI and another friends S/C mustang. I plan on doing this pretty soon after I get my car. As soon as the tuner becomes available and they can get things figured out I will be able to give dyno numbers on E-85 & Premium fuel.

if you change the injectors i would say you could forget the warranty

That's what I figured about the warranty - that will be the only thing holding me back. I don't plan on getting too crazy with mods and such. Probably just cat back, shorties and cold air from dealer. It would be nice if we could do the E-85 through GM and the dealers though.

I would consider it. A few gas stations around offer it, and I can't argue with that octane either.

I think if we had more E85 pumps around I may change all my vehicles that way but the vettes, But the closes one THat I know of is Far lacey/Olympia area.

I'll stick with 91. With E85 your performance will go down and you will be using more fuel.

oh no.. the e85 debate...

Long story short.. until gas is more than 40% the cost of E85 you will not save any money and the performance gain will be so slight that you will not notice unless your on a dyno.

In my case personally id never do it becuase there are zero, count them, ZERO e85 stations in the state of arizona.

I guess besides the injectors that need to be changed, what else has to be changed(besdies the computer tuning)? I thought it will eat up the inside of your gas tank, fuel lines and fuel line gaskets if you are not properly equipped. This what I've heard.

I wouldn't do it anyway because the only E85 stations within 100 miles are all private use lol.

we have a e85 station by the walmart in chehalis....=P
