Thinking about e85. Do I have enough injector?

BootlegGreg · 07-03-2008, 02:28 AM

I just found a station rite up the road with e85. I am currently running fic650's with 93pumpgas. I see knock at 20lbs and that seems to be all i can get out of my setup. I am at 11.1AFR across the board and have lots of injector left, so i am not sure why i am seeing knock at 20? Profile is up to date and i have a logger but the batt needs a charge and i don't have a cradle rite now. I would like to get some more power without getting bigger injectors. Do you think this would work with e85?

You probably also do not have the proper fuel mods to run e85. Ethanol will eat away at the conventional rubber seals we use. Also the fuel rail will need to be modified as well.

Well you can run a mix of it.

I know PLENTY of ppl running a 50/50 mix without huge injectors including myself. Ive been running a 50/50 mix of 93 and e85 with my 650cc inj for a while now without any problems. You get the best of both, power without the loss of too much gas mileage.

Well what mods to the rail are needed? I am running -6 feed, from filter to rail and to the regulator and return line. I am also running a re-wired supra pump. I am considering getting dsmlink and some larger injectors get the e85 ball rolling.

What is the lb/min of my turbo? It is essentially a 16g exhaust wheel with a 50trim compressor wheel and a greddy comp cover.

I believe the rail needs to be coated or anodized. E85 will corrode it.
