Can E85 technically work?

Smoking turbo yay
But concentration makes a difference. Kinda like how nothing is gonna happen if you put your hand in a lemonade(other than wasting some good drink), but if you put your hand in concentrated sulfuric acid, it's not gonna be pretty.
There is a chance, albeit small, that the stock seals can handle E85, but I wouldn't just assume that.
Remember that unless your car is designed/modded to run ethanol fuel, ethanol is actually considered bad for the fuel system and you want to avoid it if you can.
And for premix, I looked up out of curiosity, and some people said you can find some synthetic premix that will work with ethanol fuel, but again, you gotta double check if yours will mix with ethanol fuel.

Not going to have one. The Dyno I did my baseline at sucked and kept cutting out. We are going to a different one to get a e85 baseline. Then when I get time I will switch back to pump and go back to the same place.

any issues with cold start on e85? does it take longer to start the car? coming from Evo community, it was common to have cold start issues on e85, but more so when ambient temp was below freezing. in most case, gas stations change e85 to winter blend with lower eth percentage. but i never experience cold start issues with my evo when i ran e85.

Since I can adjust cranking timing, Cranking fueling, post crank enrichment, and Prime gain (its the first shot of fuel when the cranking is initiated) I dont have any worries getting the car to start on the fist crank. Ill take some videos when I find the time to work on it.

correct, going for as much power as possible low to mid rpm, then close the throttle when it reach 190 whp and keep it there till redline.
