e85

[yangr]

i know there isn't a "kit" out there for this conversion..but since im going to run turbo i was wondering what i need to run this fuel? i've been doing some research and know that i would need bigger injectors and fuel pump and a good tune..ive also heard that e85 burns at a different temp than 93 and can help clean your lines and all the gunk..but im mostly concern about if i can just run this fuel as my main fuel source with my low compression gsr and future turbo set up

 

[UCCRacing]

Your gonna have to just do a ton of research.. I am doing it to mine in the future and what I have HEARD is that you need ALL new fuel system including lines, but I am not sure yet...

 

[yangr]

yea i know that there are a little more benefits if not even more than running just regular pump gas...im thinking the safest way to go is just change the whole fuel system/upgrade it..but let me know once you're able to run it fine

 

[got traction]

typicall you have to double the fuel when you run e85. Its alot safer on boosted cars than pump

 

[yangr]

what do you mean by double fuel?

 

[got traction]

you usually have to double the fuel to make the same power. IE bigger injectors, bigger (or more) fuel pump(s)

 

[yangr]

o ok yea..i know that..but what size injectors would you recommend? 400cc? bigger? i will have a 255 l walboro fuel pump and also i might change my fuel lines just so that i have clean lines

 

[got traction]

how much power are you trying to make?

 

[yangr]

im hopefully going to make somewhere close to 300

close to 300? 91-92 octane can do that for you, no need to do crazy upgrades to the fuel system just for that little amount of hp

what kind of set up do you have? and how much you making?

and yea e85 is kind of limited here in milwaukee too..so that was another disadvantage

 

[SleepingSol]

you need to be careful too cause not every e85 station blend is the same. make sure you get it from the same place every time. and at some point close to winter it usually changes to e70 which needs a new tune every time it changes from e85-e70 and visa versa

I'm making about 264 with 8 psi on stock exhaust. And 301 with 12 psi with e-cut open. Ls-vtec

my buddy is running e85 on his nitrous built h22 and and it runs on stock lines. Swapped out fuel pump, injectors, rail and regulator and on s300. made shy of 300hp
