Also!
Has anyone put any thought to the viability of E85 fuel in a turbocharged crossfire?
I have a friend who recently converted his Mitsubishi Evo 8 to e85.. gets better milage and saw 2 pound increase in boost (think he's running 23-24 pound)
Now for the best part.. he saw a 60kwatw gain.. and I was there to witness it lol.. All for a total of $1100 AUD.. From what I hear this is the usual in most Jap spec turbo cars.. would we be able to mimic this in the crossfire?
Just curious what you guys think of this..
Hey mate!
Here is what I can tell you.
Should be available to you (you will want to contact BEGi directly with the contact info on the first page of this thread.) Shipping may be costly though.
Remote tune it is.
Tranny should hold up. Kleeman has been boosting the 3.2 for years with no problems but we wont know until one of use puts a lot of miles on the kit but even then no two pieces of machinery are the same. The car being prototyped right now is a 6 speed. I think mr miata is an automatic and will be the second prototype. I think most of us looking at the turbo are 6 speed.
That is all I can help with.
