Hey guys I am thinking about getting my Stock S tuned on E85? Is it possible, will it make more power or will it simply be a waste of money? I do plan on going boost in the future. Also were can I buy fuel lines for E85? since the stockers can't handle the Ethanol content of E85.

 

yes it is possible. all motor on a stock longblock with bolt on's you won't see much of gain imo. i know because i'm running e85 on my bolt on s2k. on boost it's a different story.

the stock fuel lines can handle e85. i have been using the stock fuel lines and stock fuel pump for roughly a year and half now with no problems what so ever.

 

I am considering running E85 on a bolt-on S2000 I know the power won't increase much at all, other than smoothing it out, but for a track car, it'll keep the temps down and the pistons and combustion chamber looking like new.

I am currently running E85 on my supercharged SHO and 20G STi and love it. With some tuning work, mileage doesn't drop significantly. I went from 21mpg on my STi on gas to my last tank being 19.5. WOT mixture (rich) of E85 smells good too!

 

Is there anyone else running E85 on stock fuel lines and fuel pump? what all do I need besides injectors and Aem series 2, In order to get a e85 tune?

 

i don't know about anyone else on this message board running e85 on stock fuel lines and fuel pump. i have tuned dozens of older honda's on e85 with the stock fuel lines. the stock lines are not an issue. as you said, all you need are injectors and an ecu (haltech, aem or hondata).

 

Okay thanks for the info. I'm going to do a little more research and see what other opinions I can find about this. I've read some were that e85 will eat the rubber of the stock fuel lines but I can't remember were I read that.

 

e85 corrosive but hey gasoline is corrosive too lol. it's not the corrosive factor you should worry about when it comes to e85, it is the fact that the ethanol attracts water. if you live in an area with very humid climate you have to be careful. if the car is a daily driver it is fine but if the car sits for extended periods of time then i would be careful.

 

Yea I guess your right

 

Running stock fuel lines here with e85. No issues yet after running for over a year.

You will pick up power tuning on e85 even though it is mostly stock. It is oxygenated which = more power

 

Thanks for the info. I will more than likely run e85 on stock fuel lines myself. Did you Change out your stock pump or filter
