i was curious , if one was to covnvert to E 85 what all would you need to do ? how hard is it ?

i know you would need massive injectors , lines and probably pumps and a tune ???

 

Why don't you post in the other thread where I recently mentioned this.

Massive injectors, an additional pump and line to support those injectors, and a proper tune. All of which are currently in the works and by calculations should be good to 650-700whp.

We've made some pretty impressive power on E85 in our other cars now that a location station openned up nearby. Here in FL it isn't quite as common but a few places on the Turnpike offer
it so you can stock up from time to time for a weekend driver. Chris Green, Tony @ EPL and a few others also have quite a bit of experience converting setups to E85 (non 996tt as far as I know).

 

wes , i saw you post and that what made start this thread , but out of respect didnt wanna hijack your thread , so i figured i would start a new one.

im sure yould be able to run higher boost on e 85 correct ? hence why the power increase ? what are all the benefits ?

is it liek running say ... like c 16 ?

 

I posted it to start a discussion more than anything but it was moved to vendor classifieds, I'd like to get hte communities input.

Higher boost cheaper cost. Look at it as race gas that costs $1.64 a gallon right now. It does take 30-40% more fuel to get the same results, but you're paying a cheaper price for performance.

Larger injector, more fuel pump, timing and fueling changes(roughly35% on the fuel), and a good ignition system.

But for the octane, it's a cheap alternative if you have these stations around you.

Here is a problem though. If it gets even the least bit cold, they change to an E70 blend in the winter(see first sentence about cold starting), and that can throw off your potential gains, and cause problems if the car is tuned for E85(timing wise). It is also more susceptible to water absorbtion

We tuned Sebastian's Supra to a little over 900 wheel horsepower on E85(3.4 Liter). I have countless others running in the 800-900 range. It's good stuff if it stays consistent. Expect more frequent oil changes and plug changes depending on the level you are running at.

justin thanks for chiming in bro , i was hoping you would, so water/meth injection would be a better /cheaper alternative i would assume ? and have you tired it yet on anyTT 996's ?
