Default What's the best fuel pump and injectors to run on E85

What are y'all guys using for fuel pump, fuel lines and fuel injectors on E85? I'm looking to make 1000-1100 RWHP on a mustang that I'm building with an LS turbo setup. I will be running the Holley HP ECU.

From what I've seen most people are having good results with the Magnafuel 4303 and the Holley 1800. I plan to use the 4303 for my build.

The best and most expensive usually go hand in hand.

The best IMO would be injector dynamics 2000cc hi-z injectors... ($2000+) and a low mounted mechanical fuel pump that is cable driven.($1300+)

More reasonable would be 1 044 bosch inline pump ($160) on while cruising (quiet) and a magnafuel 4303 ($490) in parallel that comes on at 1lb of boost. 4303 prob won't get you there alone IMO.

Then run FIC hi-Z 120lb injectors at highish base pressures. ($1100)

-10 lines PTFE lines would be more than enough.

What low mounted mechanical fuel pump are you talking about?

You low mount them so you won’t have priming issues… Could also use the more common belt driven pumps and an electric pump to prime the system.

Google “Cable drive fuel pump”

These are the big names…

Lonnies performance claims you can get 1000+hp out of FIC 160's and dual 340s on E85. Its the setup im doing but my goals for this year are 800-900hp, next year will be over 1000

Holley system allows you to use Low Imp injectors in which case, I would choose the Holley 160 injectors.

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to go with magnafuel 4303. That's what I'm running on my camaro and works fine. I have Holley 160's and also I have a set of bosch 160's. Will try them out and see how well they do and go from there.

FWIW look into the ID1300cc injectors. From what I have seen they were developed specifically for fuels like e85. Been doing alot of reading today about different injectors on the market. Seems as though the ones I have along with many of the others can be susceptible to internal corrosion although it can be hit and miss. The ID1300's have full stainless steal internals that hold up better.

Dual walbro 450's for e85, -10 feed into aeromotive rails and fic 2200cc injectors. DC at 19psi with meth is 45-50%.

2nd vote for dual Walbro 400/450lph e85 friendly pumps and -10AN line. Quiet operation vs. a buzzzzzz.

Better injectors ($$$) will idle nicer.... but more cost effective ones should perform about the same at WOT. The Holley EFI will get the job done! Total believer in that system. Running it on my '69 Chevelle alum 5.3 GTS76 project. Full 9 second street car project.
