MS, Ethanol, and Miata?
I was cruising on ebay, and found this kit:
If that would work with my miata I would definitely do it, and after reading the question from another ebayer at the bottom, I wonder if it is possible that by raising compression with a turbo setup, and using an ethanol mixture and setup similar to this, we could get an amazing turbo setup with even better gas mileage?

I'm talking E85 here.

That's where owning a Suby was nice. WRX injectors you could cut the caps off your 560s and have 800cc and the STI injectors you could either mod them if you had good tools to increase the size of the holes in the caps, or send them out for $125 and get them modded to 816cc.
660 or 750 would probably do for most of the turbos on this forum.

1badmx5 had pretty good results with ethanol, all be it with 1600cc injectors.
Current bio-ethanol is kind of fucked, but the cellulose stuff utilizing more of crops thats being developed may have some hope. I for one would rather end up with a new generation of bio-ethanol cars with 20:1 compression ratios in small engines with turbos, than more hybrids or cars that still use gasoline just at even higher prices.
