HI fellow s2k, can some one give me an idea on e85 setup. i have id 1000 and fbm 340 lph fuel pump. do i need to retune for e85 setup, and what else do i need for this setup?. currently i'm running 93 octane pump gas, 16psi sos supercharge. thank you

 

Yes u will need to retune

 

 

X3 on the retune. Depending on how much power you wanna make, you need to upgrade your pump and / or injectors.

E85 requires ~1.4 x the amount of fuel that you would need on pump to make the same power.

Im gonna say bigger injector/fuel system all together. or you may find yourself making less or the same power due to the duty cycle being maxed sooner

 

go to 2000cc injetors. and raise boost to 20psi. the whole point of using e85 is to run more boost then on pump gas and gain power. no need to switch to e85 to run same boost as on pump. i mean you can run more timing, but come on son.

 

thanks for adviced guys. so, if i switch to e85 with the same psi (16psi) as pump gas, i would make the same hp as of right now? im making 435 whp with 93 octane right now. i'm not planning to raise more boost, scary drift from 1st to 3rd gear. 04-05 doesnt have vsc (anti-slip or something).

 

well why are you switching fuels then?

 

Sounds like someone needs boost by gear. Also, VSA doesn't do jack for a turbo car.

 

theres a e85 gas station infront of my house, plus, i though i'll make more hp on e85. but you right, i need to raise up the booost to make more hp. so that mean, i have to change to a smaller pulley, maybe 3". gosh......more work....
