Looking thru the supra forms there was some talk of running e85 instead of regular methonal injection, I couldn/t find anyone doing this but alot of banter which is best, I run water/ de-naturalized alchol injection in 96 very happy with the results but will like the extra octaine, meth and E85 is locally had, and for a very cheap price, so can go any route,
But this really go me thinking, ethonal is basically grain alchol, meth is petroleum based alchol, but there both alcohl,, both burn cold,, then why cant e85 be used instead of meth?? please constructive imput

Because it's not 115+ octane. You can buy E98 which is basically pure alcohol with a splash of gas so people don't drink it. I believe meth also has a lower boiling point which causes a much larger cooling effect. I know someone on here will elaborate and give real specs. But honestly why inject a fuel you can just run the car on as fuel? Meth requires tons of fuel to run which is why it's not common to see, but with E85 you don't a ton, so you can drive around on it without being a millionaire.
