So, is it working correctly?

 

What come in the kit from change2e85.com?

 

Sorry for bringing back an old thread, but are any of you guys still running e85? Any problems with seals or corrosion?

 

Gernby I was just going to link you to this from your other thread. I think you could do this easily with bigger injectors since you already have the ems. If there is not significant corrosion, I'll follow your footsteps on this.

I looked at water injection since the gas is crappy here, but for the cost of a decent system I might as well go the route you have already gone. How easy is it to run 2 maps (91 oct gas and e85) and switch back and forth?

 

I've been searching through lots of e85 threads, but haven't found much that's usefull. It seems that most (or all) of the e85 guys are FI, and have TOTALLY replaced the fuel system for high boost.

One thing that I would like to know is if my stock fuel pump will be sufficient to maintain constant pressure with large injectors. If I get 675cc injectors, my pulse widths will be very small with pump gas, but I'm concerned that fuel pressure would drop with each pulse.

Switching between 2 maps with the FlashPro is easy, but it can be risky. The FlashPro will store 2 maps, so it is possible to just swap back and forth between 2 tunes right there at the gas station. However, there have been a handfull of times where the flash was corrupted, and I had to hook up the laptop to get the car started again.

 

put in a walbro pump and you should be fine with the larger injectors on a NA car. one guy was running a walbro + id1000 and made 480 dynojet on his DBW car. they did notice fuel pressure dropping though at that power level. na you should be 100% fine.

bunch of my friends run e85 in there cars to gain performance. none of them have complained about fuel systems falling apart. i would run it if my injectors could handle it, but i think i am to close to maxing 650's to try. who knows, next time i log the car if theres room i might try.

 

Since I don't have any plan to go FI, I really don't want to have to replace the fuel pump. That extra cost and effort might be the deal breaker. I would probably just go with RDX injectors, and blow off the e85 idea.

 

its not hard at all and pump is 100 beans. figure 2-3 hours of your time, its a drop in replacement, and your set

now the 2-3 hours is back breaking, literally, and you spend most of your time in a very uncomfortable position, but then its done

 

You're not making it sound much better.

That is about what I expected, but the back breaking part sucks. My old body aint up for that crap!

BTW, are you sure the returnless fuel system in the '06+ DBW cars isn't "special"? Isn't the fuel pressure regulator built into the pump?

 

hmmm, when i read about it, i understood it to be the same walbro i run, just swap out and your good. but i will look for that thread and see if there was anything else done.
