I have a piggy back ECU installed that makes my Celica "flexfuel". It runs way better on E85 than pump gas.
This mod is great because it increases performance and saves me a bunch of money on fuel. E85 ethanol pumps are going up everywhere, and if you have one near you, I would consider this upgrade a necessity. E85 is 105 octane. Thats why it will increase performance, even on a 5sfe with no mods. The owners manual "recommends" 91 octane so you know that higher octane is going to increase performance. The easiest way to increase performance is to increase fuel quality, and this mod will save you money at the same time. |

Sorry to say, the information provided about the rubber seals/gaskets/hoses is true. Yes E85 destroys the typical gasket/hose materials at a much higher rate than standard gasoline. In addition to this E85 is inhereintly more dangerous (for pumps/dispensing equipment) due to it's caustic nature being more prone to static build up while gasoline is more of a lubricant in nature.
