E85 is hard to start in cold temperatures. 60f and above starts right up.

Well, I guess that's a no for up here then lol.

You can always do flex fuel ^^^

I was running Drag Radials launching at 6000rpm@8psi with clutch flow control .026

That's what I was thinking about actually. We'll see.

I wasn't having any issues starting in cold weather with my car on e85 last year. Hot weather was another story though... I regularly started it between 40 and 50F without any issues.

Hmmm, maybe it depends on the car then. The guy that told me it's hard to start has an S2000.

Maybe he wasn't pushing the start button hard enough?

ZING!

My buddy with a turbo s2k said the same thing when he switched to e85, maybe I'm just used to having to crank a bit longer on a rotary... I dunno. It didn't make much difference to me. The positives of corn fuel outweighed the negatives for me.

That's just it, mine is already hard to start, I don't need it to be any more difficult lol. I do like the benefits though.

Update. Few weeks ago my turbo went out, started burning oil. Is a turbonetics ball bearing unit and it was way to expensive to fix.

I've been wanting a bigger turbo for a while so I ditched the Turbonetics and went with a Borg Warner S475. Also parted ways with the V Mount. Air temps were way to high and needed the room for the S475.

New Setup:

S475 T4
Apexi FMIC 5 inch core

Im About to BOOOOOST!!!!

I can make those IC pipes work a lot better for you, we just finished Kyles cars which had almost the same setup and the pies were a nightmare! Be glad to help you out.
