    I think there is a few of you on here that are running E85 so could you fill me in on want size injectors you're using. I asked Ultimate Racing today and they said id be fine with 900cc but when i search on Nasioc a lot of them are using over 1000cc. I understand there is other determining factors but i just want a general idea from a few people around here.

    Thanks

    It would depend on your setup.

    Yep, it depends on what your currently have under the hood. Fueling is based heavily on the amount of boost you are running and the expected horsepower for your setup.

    I'm running 1150CC, I think it is a little large, but it seem to work well, I'm also running a 20g on a 2.5l, I don't know what you are running.

    Take what you are currently running and add 40% to be safe. Figure you lose 30-35% of the power potential running e85.

    Sounds about right, I would think you could get away with 650cc on pump gas with that setup...a nearly 30% increase in injector size to 850cc should cover e85.

    what are your plans of a setup?

    Just an FYI... i was running my stock 2.0, stock turbo, stock IC with 750cc (way big for what i had at the time, but i got them for super cheap!)

    My full set up is listed under members cars. And Readymix, you are almost spot on with what Ultimate Racing said. Thanks again guys!

    Yeah. I found that a metal file from my snowboard tuning kit worked well to clean up my lines.






    EDIT: Wow, tap talk is messed up. The quote above is from 3Gwrx, different thread and forum... I have no idea how it ended up in a thread from 2008
