E-85

[JUSTANOTHERLTOWNER]

im wondering what i will all need to run E-85. im in the process of building my motor and limited to 91 on pump where im from so from talking with lloyd elliott ive come to the conclusion ill be running e-85 but i need some info on set ups and what i will all need and is there anything special i need to do with my DP 300 shot with standalone. any info would be greatly appreciated

Well, Im in the same situation as you. I am running a Lonnie Performance double pumper intank fuel pump, larger injectors (mine are 80#rs), adjustable fuel pressure regulator, E85 compatible fuel lines with a upgraded fuel filter. I am pretty sure im missing something, but one of the other guys should fill that in

I'm e85 for now. I run dual aem 320 pumps, -10 feed, -8 return, 96lb injectors (116@60psi base) May need more pump and injector but so far so good at 22psi.

Those guys are both boosted ^ so you don't need that big of injector. A 60 lb Siemens deka injector will be plenty. That's what I have.

On.my direct port that nitrous outlet did, they put a bigger fuel solenoid capable of flowing enough fuel, also your fuel jet will be a few sizes bigger then a gas jet with the same pressure.an adjustable fuel pressure regulator would definitely help as well.

What's your fuel system look like? Stock lines will be plenty , just need a big enough pump and a good filter.


if you still need to get a direct port I'd highly recommend them. They will help you far after the sale with jetting questions and what ever you have to throw at them

Ryan Stout what does your fuel setup look like at the intake? Did you do custom fittings on that? I was thinking about running a -10 feed, but didnt know if that was too much. Thanks

[Ryan Stout]

No pics sadly. Fastbird does some sweet AN rail setups though.

Hey Swamp. Here's mine. 8 an bungs front and rear. Any local welder that's good with aluminum can do it for you for 30 bucks

Well since My intake is in its final resting place, ima leave it that way for a while. I am just gonna run my E85 lines all the way from the tank and get some AN fittings to adapt to the standard fuel rails.

[Ryan Stout]

I have some of those an fittings. Black. -6 inlet.

Idk if they'll flow a lot for e85 though.

hey thanks for the info everyone. and dawdaw i havent set up the fuel system yet so im really open to whatever recommendations you have for me. right now its all stock lines and pump, and i havent bought injectors yet. a little info on my build- 383 forged bottom end, 13:1 , LE 23 degree heads with all upgrades offered, edelbrock efi single plane converted to lt1 heads, fast mbi throttle body, 24x conversion.

[JUSTANOTHERLTOWNER]

oh and the DP 300 shot

[SwampWS6]

dawdaw who did that setup for you?

Is that frost on the fuel fittings? Dat e85....

[Ryan Stout]

Didn't even see that. I know my injectors would get cold but not like that. Damn!

if stock lines, run a 400lph e85 rated walbro, get the filter replaced, and just run the rails in series with an adjustable fpr... honestly i don't think it's worth parallel plumbing them like i did... i did it because i bought my fuel system from a member here like 4 years ago for dirt cheap and it had a y block and it was in a boosted twin turbo b body so i figured i would parallel it...

if sumped, get ready to dump a pile of money in lines and fittings, a 400 to 600 dollar in line pump like a magnafuel or a1000, pull your tank, pay somone to cut and weld in a baffled sump,.... lot more money and work for no gains... only way i'd do it is if you plan on doing a huge forced induction build on down the road.

the rails? bought them off a member... i plumbed the system myself.
