So today I finally converted the GN to E85 and had already ditched my CAS V2 this Spring. I included how to do this for those who'd also want to make $$, shave weight and gain spool up by selling off their FMIC. The rest of the setup is in my Sig concerning the fuel system.
FWIW, I shaved off 35lbs by ditching the FMIC and the Blitz Blow Off Valve.
The Preturbo Injection gained me 1psi due to a denser comp wheel charge ( like winter ), ditching the FMIC should gain me another 2psi of backpressure ( haven't slammed on it yet ).
1) Get a 2" to 3" 90 degree reducer hose ( depends on turbos outlet size and TB size )
90 Degree Elbow Reducer / Transition - High Temp Silicone Hose [90 Deg Elbow Trans] - $22.39 : HoseTechniques.com | Products
2) Get a 3" Hump Hose for the TB
Hump Coupler - High Temp Silicone Hose [Hump] - $10.13 : HoseTechniques.com | Products
3) A 90 degree, 3" polished aluminum pipe, 6" legs are plenty. Got mine from a local shop called Top Setup here in IL, $25.
Cut off about 1-2" off the turbo side of the 90 degree hose. This helps bring the tubing closer to the TB for a better angle.
Cut 2" off the bottom leg of the 90 degree aluminum pipe. This is because you can't stuff in all that extra 6" leg.
Don't use the hump hose rings, you need the hump hose to slightly flex to the turbo side which is why I recommended a hump hose over a regular straight hose.
Hit it full blast with the post turbo alky, now that you don't have an IC, and for those of you with bigger turbo's full blast both nozzles and look out. I have a preturbo kit to help out the compressor wheel but I know most won't go that route so I'm not going to bother.
Spool up is better and with all the extra Meth going in you'll push the injectors past the normal HP Duty Cycle on E85. :biggrin:
With Rockett Brand having a 112 octane E85 and the Meth Injection, you'd never need to worry about cylinder pressure.
