thinking about changing over to e85

[turboxan]

I have a car that has a few mods

stock long block

3inch downpipe, 2.5 cat back

TT street chip/for 60 lbs injecors

stretch stock location intercooler

currently run 18psi on 93 oct with no knock

MY question Can I put E85 and run 22psi with no other changes???

60 lb injectors might be ok?But to be safe I would do a new fuel filter, fuel pump, 80lb injectors and e85 chip and rock and roll

No! E85 needs more fuel in many if not all areas of the fuel map. Your car would not idle right driveability would be off and your chip adjustments are limited to certain areas.

If you do make the nessary changes you will like E85.

can I use a mix like 60/40e85? check out this video

Why wouldn't you run 100% E85?

If you run 60/40 you will still have to add 15%+/- fuel...

Honestly, just being cheap. Normaly I use a race gas mix and @ $10 gal. (I know it is cheap insurance.) and e85 is $2.98 a gal. and only
6 min from my house.

what did you think of the video?

I would take the suggestions given and do the proper fuel mods and get a chip from eric and run 100% E85
