Default M45 results with rudimentary engine management and E85

Here are my results from the M45 setup back when I was at 5.5 psi and then at around 8.5 to 9.0 psi from upgraded pulleys. This is all non-intercooled on E85 running an old school non-adjustable power card and RX8 injectors.



I am temporarily without forced induction since I sold the M45 and am awaiting delivery of my BEGI S6 system. While waiting I am tuning the naturally aspirated portion of my MS3 maps... I am considering doing a dyno run just for ***** and giggles after I finalize the naturally aspirated tune on E85.

Later,

Keith

What year car and engine? Any bolts on's currently? I'd be curious to see the NA E85 plot.

1999, with a 01+ header and a quick and dirty cone filter bolted directly to the throttle body and the GM air temp sensor strapped to the outside of the cone filter.

In for NA E85 dyno that is higher than the M45@5.5psi.

There was an article in grassroots a while back where they dyno ed a miata running MS with a bunch of different fuels. The E85 made power even without boost.

I don't anticipate anything like that, it would be nice... but not really in the cards on this engine. I could see close to low boost M45 results with some 11.5:1 compression pistons, but with the stock pistons I am not anticipating a huge number.

I am shooting for 12.5:1 A/F ratio (measured on a gasoline scaled wide band) and aggressive timing. If I do take it to the dyno, it will not be a tuning session, just blowing $85 to satisfy my curiosity.
