hey everyone been on here a while just researching
But now im deciding on whether or not to go e85. The only concern is emissons. How will it affect my emissons when i go get it in 2 years?
Right now i have White Rabbit 9 tubo, 264/272 HKS cams, Vishnu cam gears, Vishnu TBE w/ testpipe ( also have the HFC), O2 housing, Walbro fuel pump, Pro-1 manifold, kevlar timing belt..i think thats it..
of course i need injectors and maybe head studs to go e85 so ill have those too.
when first went to register the car i needed an emissons test, i had the HFC on and i failed..cams were set at +3 intake and 0 exhaust. so i had to change to -2 intake +2 exhaust. I put on the stock exhaust system downpipe to muffler, and passed with flying colors
ive been told that e85 emissons will be worse in boost, but better no boost, is that true?
Others have posted about emissions out there, and from what I've gathered; it's the cat that's going to make the largest difference. Cams and cam gears can play a role, but you've already tackled it before so you should be good again.
Hang on to that stock stuff and when the time comes, just swap over.
I can't spaek about the accual emission from e85 because I havn't used it.
Headstuds are only required at 25 psi+
From what I have read, and friends having e-85 GSXs and GSTs It burns clear, and clean... due to the fact that it is 85% Ethonol, it burns real clean. so it will only help you pass the emmissions alot better.

I personaly havent. I am waiting for some more stuff to come in before I convert to e85. in a few months ill be on it. But where I live we dont need emmisions so i wont be gettin it. my fiend has gone and gotten his in and he passsed with flying colors.

your friend is running e85 in his evo? what other mods does he have? im wondering if even with a test pipe, will the car pass ( of course not the visual inspection)?
Nah my frinend does not have a evo, he has a 98 Eclipse Spyeder with a gt35R., Front mount, 1000CC injectors I belive full turbo back exhaust no cat, and a bunch of other mods, and he passed with his car.
most likely it will not pass if it doesnt have a cat because it still puts alot of emissions out plus as you said it would pass visual so whats the point. It only takes alittle while to put the catback on and then take it off after.
