SubieBlkOut Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Just filled up this morning at the new Valero on Broadway and C-470 (the gas station by AMC 24) and they now sell E-85!!! That just sold me on converting over...maybe 2 miles from my house....hello horsepower and cheap clean fuel. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanAbsher Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 What all does it take to convert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PutnamCO Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Good to hear of another station, thanks for the info. I'm about to have Eric from Torqued Performance make me a 50/50 tune with E85 and 91 so that I don't have to worry about cold starts this winter.

LGT For ME Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 great to know, I'm on a stg2e tune w/ Eric of Torqued Perf,stock fueling and the car is driving good. Any idea what the cost is, the other station on Colorado and County Line is 3.29/gal which isnt optimal. Nice to have 2 station here in the Ranch to pick from If your stock turbo/injectors you dont need much to convert, I just have a walbro FP and all else is stock, running about 92% or so on stock injectors now, thanks to altitude. At sea level would def need bigger injectors, and or if you have a bigger turbo injectors are a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGT For ME Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 You guys should come out to the meet Sunday in the Ranch, Lincoln and Quebec nice to have others in the area, and bring some BBQ, check out the meet thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieBlkOut Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 The price was $2.99/gal last week. I just bought Power Enterprise 850cc sidefeed injectors and a Deatschwerks 300lph fuel pump from bighaus90. I need to get in contact with Eric and get tuned for E-85. Sorry I missed the meet... my subie is still on jacks in the garage for some maintainence that is taking way to long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighaus90 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 hey if your putting those injectors in make sure you just put a little motor oil on the o-rings when installing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGT For ME Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Dang it I just filled up at the other station and it was still 3.29/gal. I wasnt near the other station but will be going by there for now on if its cheaper, thanks for that Info. FYI Cryo is also doing road tuning if you want to get a 2nd opinion on the e85 tune. Dont get me wrong Eric is great but he is moving out of state soon so depending on when your ready to get a tune you might have to make a choice between a local tuner or getting a etune from Eric. I talked with Cryo at the meet and he specialized in just LGT's mostly and Eric is more a WRX specialist. The price was $2.99/gal last week.

SubieBlkOut Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Well guys I am the newest LGT on corn! I got in touch with Cryo for some road tuning. First he made a 91 tune that felt real good and was producing more power, quicker and smoother than the MikeyD's stage II map I was running. Not to say anything bad about MikeyD's map, it was a great base tune that worked well across the board. I drove the 91 tune for a week and it was running great. Met back up with Cryo and drove around to run out of gas before filling up with E-85. OH MY GOD!!!! The car is a torque beast. Cryo was were able to get 259 whp and 296 wt according to Virtual Dyno. I am currently catless with a Deatschwerks 300lph fuel pump. Stock injectors and stock top mount until I can get my IPR top mount to fit correctly. If any local guys are looking for a local tuner, I would highly recommend Cryo. He is a great guy and he treats your car and tune like his own and won't stop till he is positive that it is safe and strong. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGT For ME Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Good to hear on Cryo's tune on your LGT, I met w/ him this weekend to get some brake work done and he mentioned tuning your car so glad to hear it worked out well. I agree with your impression that he really does want to do the work correctly and that he'll treat your car just like his own. I'll be seeing him for more work soon. And welcome to the e85 club, pretty fun huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieBlkOut Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yeah it is a lot of fun having so much more low end on a good tune. Now it's time to see how she does against my dads Z06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I had to copy Legend and take this photo! Ha.. first time I poked my head into this thread... I don't know how you knew I had that pic.. checked my vbgarage and not in there. Also, I don't know if this station is new or not but I drove down to Colorado Springs the other day and there is a Western right off I-25 in Castle Rock. Seems like there was always some guy in Castle Rock complaining about not having E85, so I was surprised to see that.

PutnamCO Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Wanted to make sure everyone saw this, it's posted in Turbo Powertrains. Congress may add a $.38 tax to each gallon of E85. Use this link to send a letter to your Representatives to avoid a price hike, and possibly lowered E85 availability. http://action.coalitionfore85.org/5615/coalition-e85/ Here's more info: http://propelfuels.com/newsletters/e...85-120111.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryo Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 What, cryo is doing wrenching too?! Cool! I am keeping the wrenching on a case by case basis more geared for performance. The tuning is my real joy but sometimes one brings the other. Putnamco- thanks for spreading the word on the tax increase.
