Just an informative question for us all.
Long term engine life. What is better ? Does it matter ?
Lower Boost and More spark using higher Corn content then you get more fuels in your oil? etc.
Higher Boost and less spark using less corn in your fuel etc.
So many variables....
The safer way of making power? Not sure but I do know I keep my turbos in their happy place, just a couple PSI over stock and the both cars haul a$$. 15 PSI available anywhere anytime with 26-28 degrees just feels sick. No more running out of breath at high RPM, just pulls endlessly well into felony territory. Car doesn't pull timing in the summer because IAT compensations come on line much later (140 IAT2) and probably can be turned off completely with the full corn.
More advance equals higher volumetric efficiency and E85's ability to run at Lambda 1 to higher RPMs and loads increase that further, more bang for less bucks at the pump.
I think corn is a better fuel for the Ecoboost not just for performance but it is markedly cleaner than pump. No sooty tips. I suspect that property may help longevity greatly. I just got pics of my valves and I'm curious to see what happens moving forward. Too bad For Ford cheaped out on the certification and pump. My plan is to use as much corn as possible.
I just changed oil at at 10K interval with 5k of full corn....Oops?
Faint hint of fuel, no change on the stick, and nothing out of the ordinary visually.
Going forward I plan to change every 5K and get some samples analyzed.
Thinking about full E85 and meth after ESP runs out.
