Methanol an E85 with N55

ONEFST1 · 04-26-2014, 06:54 PM

Just curious how many people out there are running meth with e85 and what mixes are they running. Im currently running 40% e85 with flex fuel wires. What's a safe amount of meth on the n55 engines? Thinking about running dual meth bung.

50/50 is always a safe amount to run.

The only question is, do you run the Methanol map (3) or the race map (7) ?

50/50 meth with 40% e85 is the safest and less overkill set up on an n55. If you are fbo then you will pretty much be maxed out. Inline 255 you can run more e85 but you'd need a bigger turbo since it would be useless with your stock n55 turbo

thanks for starting this thread, I was wondering the same thing today. I know I can't beat my N54 FBO buddies, but i'm trying to make it more competitive.

OP, can you follow up and let us know how it goes when you add meth?
