Right.

So how is this stuff performing?

What have we noticed apart from dickloads of power? Haha

If e85 will make my car run better and can be installed without too much cost, I'm in.

I am a convert totally. Car runs cooler, makes more power and smell is intoxicating.
Also the new age Subaru ecu will handle it well but the older ones not so much I believe.

You will need fuel pump, injectors and a vipec/motec or similar ecu for anything older then my08 according the asg.

Pity the gains on a N/A motor isn't more enticing. I may have considered it otherwise.

Surely you need the pump and injectors for all WRX's going E85 (?) or are the late model injectors that much bigger?

I think it's just the matter of being able to use the stock ECU on 08+ models, still need supporting injectors and pump I would think.

Buy Vipec, injectors, fuel pump
Drive to ASG
Come back later that day
Hand over cashola
Drive away with big smile on face!
Profit

(Vipec approx $2500)

Total driveaway cost I would guesstimate at being approx $4.5 - $5K give or take depending on brand of injectors/fuel pump

From memory VIPEC V44 was ~$2000 (most likely more) fitted and tuned.

There is one for sale on here now:
http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/sale/575...plug-play.html

Has more features and options then a street car will ever need!
V88 — Vi-PEC Engine Management

That is a serious amount of cash to drop in one hit. Does that include the couple counselling sessions you will need to speak to your missus again.
