E85 questions

[HECROW1]

I currently have a 6266 dual ball bearing precision turbo, with 60# injectors and matching chip from turbo tweak, Razor Alky kit, an upgraded torque converter (non lockup) from ptc, a walbro 340 fuel pump, hotwire kit and will be putting in a volt booster. I should be running mid 11s to low 11s. I would really like to try E85 but before I get into that I would like to know what would be the best setup and if I can still use my alky or will I have to eliminate it completely. Also, if my current set up is sufficient to get me into the 10s.

I don't see anything about the amount of boost you're running, timing, tires, suspension, etc? What size is the converter? Takes more than just parts to run 10's. You could keep alky if you wanted and still run E-85 to answer your question though....

Im running 25#s I have the nitto 555r street drag radials
275/50/15, and stock suspension. The converter is custom ptc from hartline non lock up 10". My timing I still believe I need to play with it but don't know many people in the Miami area who can dial it in good for me.

Your going to max the pump and injectors quick. You will need to use the alky to help but you need a bigger pump and injectors to get back to the numbers your looking at

A couple options:
Walbro 416lph single in tank pump, -8 feed and -6 return line. ~96lb injectors. Volt booster. 675HP capability conservatively.

Double pumper with twin walbros. stock lines or preferably -8 feed and -6 return. 120lb injectors. Volt booster. 850HP capability conservatively.

You can leave the alky there for a little extra octane capability but shouldn't really use it to supplement an inadequate fuel system that might not deliver.

The 60lbs injectors can be used. Use a gas chip and turn up the fuel pressure. On a stock long block car, I was out of fuel pump at 12psi on E85 with a Walbro 340. Switched to a TT 340 pump, and went to 27psi@10.9AFR with room to spare.

Make it easy on yourself .. DW 300 pump .. ditch the walblow pump .. toss in some 80# injectors .. make sure you have the proper voltage at the pump ... that will get you in the 10's fuel wise

DO NOT use the ALKY as a fuel supply... that is a no no

Quick update guys I actually have a lock up converter 10" not a non lock up. So I should eliminate my alcohol. What injectors fuel pump and chip would be the best combo to run on my car? Is it worth it performance whys to go to E85 will I feel a major difference? Where would be the best site to purchase these parts?

Where can I purchase the pump and I use eric Marshalls chip and injector set ups what do u recommend or anything better? I'm really trying not to go over $1000 in expenses to do the switch

This is my new set up...won't be NEAR 850hp but it will be interesting to see how it works.

Im in miami too. Hit me up if you need some help. Im not a guru but I have been hitting my head with this tuning thing for a few month now and i did convert to e85. Budget wise, I would recommend throwing in another 340 in there with a y in the tank stock lines for now or if budget permits throw in a -8 feed minimum. Get some 120s since they are not expensive, send your chip back to Eric for a e85 tune, and maybe a powerlogger /mod ecm for driving low impedance injectors. You may get away with some bigger high Z injectors but they are more pricey. The alkykit with dual nozzle can take you pretty fast on pump too. may get you close to where you want to be. id still throw another pump in the tank , grab another hotwire kit and a boost activation switch to run the second pump. maybe do that first and wait to see how far that gets you. keep posting , there are wayyy more knowlegeable folks on here for sure (;
