Yeah you should definitely be on song by 4k rpm. It in traffic between idle to 3 I notice the torque drop. Particularly with ac on.

E85 is a whole other issue. Have you installed the correct valves and fuel system parts for E85? Fuel capacity will become an issue as well, have you thought about where/how you will carry the extra fuel?

Can't recall specifically what brand but premium unleaded.

On the E85 subject, do you have any confirmed input on what parts of the MX5 / NA6 fuel system isn't suitable for E85, as I've heard conflicting reports, and some comments are like "eventually it will destroy your fuel pump" of which given the stock unit is 20+ years old! would anyone really care?

I would say take the time to replace the pump and lines just to be sure. Also E85 can 'gum' the valves up a bit hence hardened exhaust valve seats etc.

Judging by the location of the moon relative to one of saturn's... it is somewhere between my garage and the back shed.

Any more of this madness, I will stop leaving my broken car, trailer.... At your place. I will no longer do mad skids, out the front of your house, with your car. I will go and bogan somewhere else!

Add E85, tune.

Honestly. The 20+ high hp NA's running e85 with only injector upgrades and no problems ever that Ive been involved with, dont lie.

I see adjustable brake bias?

Are the vacuum lines the same length?

What size trumpets?

Are you using the strut brace as a tie off point and a spot to lean on when the engine is hot?

Looks nice!

Vacuum block is not square! Brace is captain sad pants :mrgreen:

Gone to the dyno yet? Need a graph of rpm vs ponies!

Yes, adj brake bias!

Nope, vacuum lines not the same length - what issues do you expect might exist (none so far)

Trumpets I think are 40mm and it has lots of torque... More than I expected.

No, that equipment and leaning bracket is not a strut brace, though it probably could be used as one!

On the list for sure. Thinking about get an ethanol sensor to allow me to freely grab PULP or E85 and if the quality of either varies, the tune will just adapt as needed.

Then I'll get it on the dyno!
