  • @Baksteen_Express
    @Baksteen_Express 3 роки тому +1

    Since it's more knock resistant, ethanol should allow you to be more agressive with the spark map, gaining some hp. Have you changed anything about the spark map? Was just curious, because tuning spark to the verge of knock is quite hard haha. Also, what could help with getting some more power is getting stronger coil and/or different plugs. Stronger coils because of the octane number, yes it is less prone to knock, but also harder to fully ignite. And since ethanol burns a lot colder you can also use a 'hotter' spark plug.

  • @WhiskeyGulf71
    @WhiskeyGulf71 3 роки тому

    Also bearing in mind, Ethanol is hydroscopic so it will pull the moisture out of the air & pull it to the bottom of your fuel tank as soon as you add Gasoline, especially in damper climates so it’s not good to leave Ethanol in your atmosphere vented gas tank.

      @@charlieward7606 the thing is you need a certain amount of air to make that excess in fuel burn and create more power, that is why he said you see etanol gains mostly on turbo cars. because more air equals more power. there is no point in making a mix richer and richer if you don't have enough air to make it work right. so that is why use turbos or make it NA high compression to up the air in the cylinder and be able to use more fuel and make more power.

    @Thelastcritic 3 роки тому

    E85 cooling properties will help in high heat. 2% I think is the number across multiple different similar content videos (Engine Masters has a good one). The more power you make the bigger the difference. Higher compression obviously is safer on E85, but that is caused by the lower volatility of the fuel. Lower volatility in this case also equates to lower energy per unit of measurement. This is why you need bigger injectors (longer duty cycle) for E85 and the decrease in fuel economy.

    mostly depends on compression. the higher the compression the more timing you can use without knocking, obviously to a limit. lower comp motors won't benefit from e85 unless it is boosted. N/A, it won't really help.
