The right parts for E85 ?

[dynoman]

I've been thinking about the switch to E85 and just want to know if what I have, or will get, will support the mods I already have. I have a double pump set up but don't know if it's any good, it came with the car. I plan on bigger injectors, chip, bigger fuel filter. Do I need bigger fuel lines ? I have a lift so not a real problem , I just want to do it right once. I also have a power logger & plan on a WB o2. Sam

Many on here have run 10's and 9s with stock lines. Just a few threads down there is even a good ammt of info: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/e8...lbs-stock-fuel-stock-modified-fuel-lines.html

Yup , read most of the recent threads and boy there are alot of varied opinions on what is needed to run E85 in these cars. I asked because my cars motor, trans & drive train are modded pretty good already and I didn't want any weak links in the E85 conversion.

If you dont know how long the fuel pumps have been in the car id change them and if you want to do things once id run teflon stainless braided hose and replace your fuel lines and get some 120lb injectors

I think I'll run SS lines from siliconeintakes.com , a friend used thier lines and liked them. Due you use the stock sending unit cause the pump feed seems small for the bigger lines ? Thanks Sam

I had an AN fitting welded onto the feed and return on the sending unit and had also had it modified so both pumps run all the time.

My double pump set up is wired to run both all the time , will I need to change to a different regulator ? I have a Bosch adjustable FPR on the stock rail right now, will it handle the increased flow? Sam
