Default E85 - is my fuel setup good enough

Heres my current setup on 93 octane...

00' s2000 w/ f22 motor
Novi1200 blower @ 15psi, will cap at 13psi if needs be
AEM EMS
ID 1000cc injectors
Walbro 255 pump
Stock fuel lines etc.

If I want to make the switch to E85, will an Aeromotive 340 pump be enough? Or do I have to get larger injectors too? What else?

I just want it for the higher octane & knock suppression, I had a meth kit fail on me previously so dont suggest I get one of those.

thanks

You should be just fine with your current setup. Your fuel setup; one Walbro, stock lines and the ID1000's should be good for about 450 whp on e85.

if you will be fine with 450-500 (lower end of that range), then stay with what you have.

if you want more room, get the "better" fuel pump and an fpr.

yeah I was thinking the same thing, my walbro has ~15-20k miles on it now, its cheap insurance & will gain me some headroom.

Don't mean to thread jack, but I have a similar question. I'm looking to hit 600whp over the winter and plan on purchasing the complete full blown fuel setup with 2 FBM 340 lph pumps, new 8an lines, rail, fpr, etc. To cut costs, can I just buy the ID1000's instead of 2000's? I'll be tuning on E85. Also, does compression ratio have an effect on fuel needs due to lower CR needing higher boost? Thanks!!!

For 600whp you will need to up the fuel pressure a lot to get them to flow enough. The dual pump setup will still not want to go over 85psi. You will need a FPR and a bosch in line pump with a FB 340 in the tank and a base fuel pressure up to 100psi to make 600whp on the ID 1000's.

ID 1000's will not be good enough. You are going to need the 2000's IMO. I made 570whp on one aeromotive pump, e85, ID 2000's and stock fuel lines. There was more there but did not want to push the gtx30r to hard.

So I could just get the 2000's, swap out my current walbro 255 for a FBM 340, keep stock hanger and fuel lines, and drop in a fuel rail with FPR? Sweet! Is the new fuel rail and FPR necessary or no?
