It's been done by one of our customers running a stroker motor with motec and custom turbo. It was in DSport Magazine 04/07. Was making 471 rwhp at the time. Also, this high school is building an electric miata: http://www.wilkes.k12.nc.us/WWHS/Tolbert/ev%20Web%20site.htm We're trying to help them out a little with suspension.

There was some hand waving about it not being just as simple as putting E85 in your tank and retuning, but no concrete examples of things tried, problems encountered, solutions created, etc. I'm looking to avoid the whole discussion of whether or not this is a good energy policy and mainly wondering if it can be done on a hobby level. Replacing fuel lines, the pump, and injectors seems like an easy task and gives me an excuse to continue to tinker with the Miata. I had considered doing an AC electric motor conversion to the Miata, but that's going to be far more work and far more expensive (like $20k, at least, to do it right). So, has anyone else given any thought to E85 in their Link Miata, and if so, how did it go? Thanks!
