I see what you are trying to say, but this statement is obviously confused.You have to get sufficient air in with that 40% increase in fuel. Which means you need even MORE airflow mods to be at the same point.
Did anyone clarify this?
If you are changing the stoichiometric ratio from 14.7:1 to 9:1, then every time you increase the incoming air (which is either the 14.7 or the 9 depending on which fuel you are talking about) then you will need to keep the stoichiometric ratio the same no matter what.
You need to adjust the amount of fuel for the set amount of air that your engine is able to process when switching between the two fuels.
You need more E85 per unit of air than you do gasoline per unit of air, but once you set the fueling, you will not need to adjust the incoming air again.
I completely understand why running E85 is not going to be ideal for everyone, but I really don't understand why so many people have a grudge against anyone that is running E85.
There are good reasons to run E85, and there are good reasons not to.
Can we all agree to disagree and not try to rewrite the laws of chemistry in the process please?
If anyone needs clarification on stoichiometric ratios, please let me know.
I have a degree in chemical engineering from Penn State, and work as a chemist. I am more than glad to help.
Anyways,
How is the E85 switch working out Bio?
Any luck with the alky setup too?
Also, is anyone that is running E85 on an M90 car running a higher compression ratio than the stock L67's 8.5:1?
I'm curious as to how much of a higher compression ratio on an E85 setup will increase the fuel mileage (and hp too), and how high of a compression ratio you can use at what mod levels too. As we all know, the M90 isn't exactly the greatest at processing air efficiently but there are ways to compensate for that.
