Thanks for the info. So getting a boost controller and raising it to 14psi will be ok without the potential tune?

 

You would have to ask your tuner that. If you're talking about going from gasoline to E85 without a tune. You will not be able to do that.

 

Oh no. It would be keeping my current setup on 93 pump and raising it from 11-12 ish to 14.

Induction Performance, Which manual boost controllers do you sell?

 

I try not to. On 80% of the cars I tune and work on I install boost solenoids that work with the ecu. If I have to then Grimmspeed or Perrin.

 

Can you send me your # or the cost of those solenoids to look into purchasing one. Since you tune, if I were to raise the boost, is the a/f the main thing to check in ensuring it stays around 11.1-11.8 or do I need to look at the timing as well?

Thanks for your help.

 

Correct. Air:fuel is only half of it. The ignition timing needs to be in the ball park as well. If it was tuned properly it will be.

 

If you wanna go e85 I'll sell id1000s and aem FPR for $500 shipped and paypalled

 

On a side note, my darn wastegate bolt broke off again. So it sounded like i had a big exhaust leak since the wastegate was loose and my a/f on idle went to 16-17. When driving it went back down. So now have to drill out the broken bolt this weekend.

If i go E85, I will let you know corey. Might just stick with the boost solenoid for now to achieve around 380-400hp.

Thanks for all your help Induction Performance and any others which have posted.

 

Manual boost controllers are unstable. You can get a Mac solenoid for $40 on eBay. Wires directly to ems.
From my last setup to now, I added 117whp on e85 and adding 3 psi. E85 is free horsepower.
