In a worked evo 8 it gave 20 more hp over standard 91 wrf and race gas. Have seen dyno graphs to prove it. insane for pump gas!!!
how were cars built without the internet in the 90s?

is it too much to ask for a copy of these dyno results??
i tried telling a 'known tuner/supplier' that the group N rally cars are getting better power out of pump gas instewad of Avgas, and was promptly told that it was impossible.
I've been a bad bad boy. I should read the rules and behave before I get spanked by an admin

f#@k you i won't do what ya tell me

So you've tried it in a 4a?
Have you done anything to your car or just chucked it in?
Noticed any adverse effects?

I'm keen to try but don't know how my car will like it, and not really in a position to experiment.

Its petrol, its only 10% ethanol it wont break anything. Its not like your suddenly putting methanol in.

Put some into my bluetop 4age with a turbo strapped to the side. Its happy as larry up till 7200rpm.

Would like to see dyno results and AF results. Im curious what the AF ratio will do with standard ECU used to running 0% ethanol compared to what they are with petrol.

Toyota NZ say that import Allex/RunX are no go, but NZ new Corollas with the 2zz are fine.

Apparently there are physical differences in the fuel systems, although, when asking them what parts are different between them, they gave me a bunch of part numbers which mine matched, so I'm not sure what they were on about, other than maybe they wanted me to buy some bits.

The guys in the US with pontiac vibes or celica gts seems to be fine using E10, and there were a few using E85 too without any hassles.
