Toyota Celica on E85

[superbird520]

thank you sir for not giving money to towel heads. now...i have seen some odd comments, turbo aid propane combustion? you can run propane in any vehicle as a catalyst or standalone fuel, a line from tank to intake with a fuel pump shutoff, a solenoid that read throttle position done. the issue with e85 is that the car needs to adapt to the lower btu rating, needs to know how to change timing, and increase injector on time/or fuel pressure. some vehicle adapt better than others.

[jayguy173]

is that a turbo because turbo cars can run on propane and ethonol

[EJracerboy15]

@jayguy173

LOL!

do your research kid.

[jayguy173]

@EJracerboy15 well i have seen some newer cars tuned to run on it and old chevy 350 can run on propane

[EJracerboy15]

@jayguy173

they have to be set up properly too.

Turbo cars have nothing to do with being able to run on propone or ethanol, the only difference between NA's and A's is that obvs one has a turbo. or supercharger.. they need to be tuned.

and yeah it probs can if it has a carby, wouldnt have a fuel sensor. or any of that these injected cars do..

[nitrosteve1]

you dont have to change anything to do this all you have to do is slowly mix in e85 and let computer learn.

[Commack08]

I've been blending E85 in my 99 Taurus for about a year now and have had no problems. Its not one of the ones made for flex fuel. This week I put in 8 gallons of E85 and the balance is mid-grade gas.

No check engine light, no hard starting problem. A quick calculation of percentage would show I'm running about an E-40 blend overall.

[IndyFan53]

How did you convert the motor? Changing fuel system parts?

Quick Question, I own a Toyota Celica, a 92, and the the speedometer goes to like idk 125, so im guessing you put in a new one......and somehow your car, which the models are 4 cyl. and maybe v-6 i believe has the acceleration of what looks like a freakin v-12??

CelicaE85 answer: Toyota Celica GTi 2,0/16valve orgin except a kit from roadster se an air004-kit for e85

[Commack08]

Look closely, his speedo is in KMH, not MPH.

[drewlrocks]

@Projectdie Lmfaoo dude its km/h not mph

[stichy420]

lol? ur cars on ramps....

[CelicaE85]

lol? ur cars on ramps....

This short video is the Celica omn E8r on a wintery road in north of Sweden !

[killthemall1986]

did you tune for e85 or just throw it in?

[airpower123]

throw it u nut head. thier is no diffence between E85 and normal shit.

[killthemall1986]

then obviously you know nothing about cars because if you just throw it in it will run like crap unless its tuned for it

[Pseudo420]

nope, i got a 91 mr2 with a 5s-fe. Put some e85 in to test.Ran fine. no tuning needed. E85 is like equal to yo regular at the pump.

[Gildane]

After some time the gaskets may not perform well. The reaction of some gasket materials to E85 (or even any ehtanol blend above E20) is not the same as for regular gas.

[orimabu]

then u both are idiots killthemall is right a basic 4 stroke engine with E85 lowers its efficiency.

[jesterof84]

E85 is 100 - 105 octane its sure not regular

[CelicaE85]

jesterof84

E85 is 100 - 105 octane its sure not regular

Correkt ! Over 100okt and you can put in more e85 than gas if y like...

[CelicaE85]

I beleve its the same engine, i have only risened the fuel pressure about 1atm/1kg/cm2 so not damage fuelpump by fool...

Kep on with the ethanol...As y see bad spelling...from North Sweden

[CelicaE85]

Okay for your thinking...Hope you try e85 sometime in your gasoline ride...

[finalfantasyXyuna]

yes there is. its a higher octane. and in a car without forged pistons, you will eventually stand a chance of melting the cast pistons. all you need to do to prevent this is to advance your timing by 2 degrees.

[baconmeister]

Didn't you know Ethanol runs cooler than Petrol? Ethanol sucks heat away as it evaporates (from liquid to gas).

[jesterof84]

e 85 it is 85% ethanol 15% gas

87 octane is only 10% ethanol there is a big difference

to every one that must make fun of him don't do it here just know in you heart that he will brake his car and have no clue how to fix it and daddy will by a new one for him

[finalfantasyXyuna]

down south where i'm from, there is NO ethanol in the fuel.

[jesterof84]

i lived in chiefland fl and ther was the standard 10%

[CelicaE85]

finalfantasyXyuna

Sorry for the absent of e85-fuel...

In Europe the market slowly i is growing...

more and more e85-pumps are monted...

CelicaE85 answer: There is no daddy...

and y parhaps modified some engine and broke it ?

[jesterof84]

well the English somehow left you but i get the point this comment is like 4 months old if you are running the car on e85 100% and nothing has happened to any part of it and runs strong good for you

i may try it in my truck its just a toy , s 10 wth a 350 5.7 ,Holley 600 i may get 20% bigger jets and see what blows up

[Trilliadin]

@jesterof84

So, please... Tell us how it went down. Carburettor-engines are a bit trickier to covert to E85 because they don't have a computerised adjustment of the fuel/air ratio. It needs to change from 14:1 to ~9:1. Change needle. With a fuel-injected car, the ECU takes care of most of that. CelicaE85 increased the fuel-pressure a bit to help squeeze more fuel through the injectors, and while that doesn't fully compensate for the increased need for fuel, it certainly helps the ECU adjust.

[CelicaE85]

Hope Y keep y beleve...But try some E85-ride like Viper-E85 or some SAAB Aero to confirm y beleve...
