Oh, and I also have an electronic fuel pressure gauge with warning lights and a fire extenguisher for safety. ;) Because even though from doing research I'm pretty confident I won't have issues with E85 eating parts, I'm prepared for the worst.

Ok, thanks man. Thats funny because that is the same setup I am toying with... a 2.4 with a 50 trim and E85. Would the 1000's be able to support that 50 trim?

I'm not sure. I think they're going to be pretty close to maxed out. I need to see how much I can lean the AF out, then calculate what size injectors I'll need off of that.

What AFR are you running at? Do you think a 255 will be able to keep up running E85? How do you like the 2.4/50trim setup?

You could try an injector driver box to run the 1600cc in true peak/hold mod. That might help smooth them out a bit.

No comment on the evo... ;) It likes pump gas.

On the Talon I ran a 50/50 mix, it worked a lot better and cheaper than 110. I wouldn't get any knock at all flowing 54lbs per minute or around 26psi on the pte GT3561. I would knock on the 111 at bobby and steves or any power 110 fuel. I hope to have Shane tune it before the snow falls.

Chris I run the FIC 1600cc injectors and they idle great and part throttle excellent. Better than the pte 780cc injectors I ran before. I'm on the link. My o2s would cycle just fine.

Jim, did you do anything to the fuel lines to prevent corrosion from the E85, or does thinning it out prevent that? The 50/50 mix sounds like it will be the way to go for me.

I am using the stock fuel system, I have been running e85 since last year and so far so good. I planned on replacing the lines but honestly with the 50/50 mix I am not worried about the fuel system. I have gone over it twice since I started running e85 and will give it another once over before I sell the car.

Ok cool, i will try the 50/50 tmrw. I have 650cc injectors i bought them oversized so i could try e85 on my E316g i have never gone over 65% duty cycle in wot so i think i'm safe.

With 50/50 you will be fine. Do it up.
