E85

First off, if your car starts on fire, you probably have a gas leak somewhere.

As long as your not like me, and forget to plug in your fuel rail, you'll be perfectly fine.

I am fully aware of the risk, and if it corrodes throught my stock fuel line, I shall just run a new SS one..... thank you tim for clearing up the methanol/ethanol differences.

So, -IF- i was gonna do this, would a SAFC1/2 work? from what I can remember you can load up 2 different fuel maps, depending on what fuel you are running.

So, is it that easy? just a safc re-tune?

one additional point, as I understand it, there is alot of clay and other anti-engine sediments in standard gasoline, and ethanol has (almost) none.....so engine wear is going to be cut way back......I spose nobody cares here because we rebuild our engines periodically anyways ;)

Anyone got this going yet? Back from the dead!!! I'm kinda thinking about it.

I was too, but I would rather have it running now than waiting to get the conversion done and having to pay for it all.

I have some 1600cc injectors on order. I'll let you know how it goes. ;)

It was going pretty good for Jim (TalonFiero) and the curiosity finally got to me so I'm going to see if it allows me to run more boost in my Talon.

Do you need injectors that big? Or would 550's work?

I'm running a 2.4 with a 50 trim and I use DSMLink so I figured why not. 780's weren't cutting it.

550's may work on a stock car running stock boost.

When picking an injector size you'll also need to determine wether you're going to run straight E85 or a mix.

Sorry I didn't mean as asking do YOU need them I meant in gernal for e85..Sorry I'm dump somtimes. Gotya! Thanks

E85 requires a lot more fuel flow, so you need much bigger than normal injectors and a fuel pump(s) to back it.

I need to start looking into this as an option for the Jeep. That big V8 drinks like a fish.
