alternitive fuel thread

[baz-r]

what about using e85 as an alternitve fuel for your kitcar
its a bio fuel made from a blend of ethanol (85%) petrol (15%) that can be used in a number of new flex fuel cars like saab's vauxhall etc theres even a lotus tht runs it now.

pros: more bhp, cheaper and nicer gasses out the back
cons: fewer filling stations at the moment and less mpg

morrisons have a e85 filling station scheame here in the south west

i know a std petrol engine can be converted to use e85 and there are tuning guys converting std road going cars and motorbikes to be able to run on it as far as i know its only the fueling and ign timing that needs to be alterd so somthing like megasquirt could do it tho bigger injectors would be needed than petrol as more fuel is needed.
bigger tank to for a roadster

i dont know how it would effect the iva? i would love to know if a post 95 engine pass without a cat fitted
