Default Considering switch to E85 on 1000rwhp turbo car, need advice.

I presently run a 50/50 race gas and pump looking to switch over to E85 what parts do I need for a comparable set up.

Presently I run
2 340gph pumps (from Lonnie)
8an feed & 6an return
80lb sieman Deka injectors with a 57lb base pressure.

For example is twin 340 pumps and lines large enough or do I need to switch, etc.

Twin 340's will get you to 1000rwhp, but your injectors are way too small.

Also your current base pressure is too high for your current setup.
I recommend a max of 65psi pressure (including the boost reference) so your base pressure is way too high. The 340's do not like high pressure.

Please call to discuss in more detail.

You have enough pump and injector, just not a combination of both.

Those pumps have made 1000whp on E85, and so have those injectors, just not together. You can use those injectors if you have more pump to run a higher base pressure.

So in other words, you'll need to upgrade one or the other.

definitely will upgrade the injectors. What about 8an feed and 6an return will that support 1000rwhp on E85?

-8 feed is more than enough for 1000whp on E85.
