Hello i am building my motor and i am going to use it with e85.

I have

gn1 aluminium heads
212/212 cam
je-pistons
cks crank
k1 rods
4Xbillet caps
big front mount ic
70 throttle body
kb headers
Tial wastegate
maf-translator pro
aeromotive a-1000 with 1" lines
Holset hx-40 super
devils own alky-kit


What would be best injector size for this combo.
How much fuel pressure have to be with e85.
what boost levels would be best?
Is there any programs for maf translator pro with e85.

Thanks!

I would go with 120inj at a minimum and maybe even 160inj. Give full throttle a call and they will burn a chip for for e85. You are going to max out that a1000 f/p. If you do decide to with 160in I would ditch the alcky it's one less variable in tuning. The chip should dictate the fuel pressure setting.

I have a similar combo....

Ported GN1s, stock stroke crank, 215/220 cam. Razor alky kit.

I'm putting it together with 120's for E85.

I suggest keeping the methanol injection along with the E85. I've already used that combo on one of my other cars and it works extremely well. 105+ octane E85 and 140+ octane methanol play very well together and allow you to run a lot of boost.

I'm sure you can get an E85 chip for your combo from full throttle / Bob Bailey. His stuff works really nice.

This combo isn't in the car yet. I'll probably get it into the car in a few months.

160 lbs injectors & Bob Baileys modded ecm bought...
I hope i get this work..



Does Eric make chips for E85?

Does Eric make chips for E85?

Yes up to 120's, maybe bigger by now.
