What was the state of your injector O rings after this?

How well does your petrol tank seal? When you go to a petrol station to fill up does it go PSSHHH?

How long have you been E85 and how often was it driven (eg, was fuel sitting in the tank for a month at a time between drives?)

Orings were fine.

Can't remember if i head the pshhhh or not... I'm not sure if i even hear it on the new Evo..

Been on e85 a year and half. Didn't drive it that often, only weekends. And even sometimes could go weeks without a drive

Switched to it about 3 times I reckon

I have taken the precaution of pickling the fuel system in 98 when I've gone long periods of not driving, but it is a daily driver so that's rare.

I think having old tanks of E85 is no good...if it hasn't been driven for ages I would empty it and refill.

Long enough for the e85 to turn?

Plenty of reports on the evo x forums of the issue coming up after a few weeks.

Mine was just a minor issue of it sliglty blocked one injector after a year. But even then I could have lost whole my engine if I kept on driving it without noticing something was happening. My first sign was one of my spark plugs melting and subsequent ones fouling pretty quick

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
