Why Does Ethanol Make More Power Than Gasoline [Explained]

Why Does Ethanol Make More Power Than Gasoline [Explained]
Every hears about ethanol tuning or flex fuel tuning, and you might ask why does ethanol or E85 mostly, make more power than gasoline. In this video, I talk about why ethanol blends make more power than just gasoline, and E85 is a common tune! E10 is common too, but this is a deep dive in e85 fuel!
I also talk about why ethanol is more common with direct injection cars like the Subaru WRX!

5:04 What you're describing is preignition (ping). Knock is more associated with detonation (the mixture combusts too quickly due to the fuel characteristics or compression ratio).
Ping is when the flame front of that premature secondary ignition collides with the flame front of the main, intended ignition source coming off the spark. The two pressure waves combine and hit the piston harder and earlier than designed.
Knock is when the mixture is exploding off the sparkplug rather than burning.

Good video! Please keep it up on more VB WRX content

Good video man, not enough videos on this stuff. Most are “internet fails”, “I’m cooler than this guy”, etc..

[@AutoEnthusiast]

I appreciate that! Thanks for the comment too! Makes the world of difference on these videos!

[@Ian22VB]

You have a great way of explaining the tech to the average guy, love this video! Keep it up, would love to hear thoughts and plans on suspension for VB’s as well 😊

[@AutoEnthusiast]

Thanks!! I appreciate comment as well, makes the world of difference on these lower view videos. And there is a lot to say honestly, in the same path as the VA, coilovers make a world of difference. I think lowering it and increasing the spring rate will make a solid difference, but if you aren't looking for a rougher and more raw ride, I think that softer aftermarket coils on these tend to feel floaty in my opinion
