What would it take to go E85 on my turbo set up? Been throwing around the idea of going E85 before i take it to get tuned next season sometime, i don't think my fuel system would be able to keep up so was looking to see what i would need to upgrade/what i can keep...
Current set up is -
Sumped fuel cell with -8 going to an inline screen filter then into a bosch 044 inline pump, into another screen filter. Then -8 up to FAST fuel rails, coming out of the rails is -6 to an Aeromotive boost reference reg, out of the reg there is -6 return back to the cell. Using 60# injectors also...
motor set up is a 5.3 with a master power t70 rear mounted. plans to push around 13-15psi eventually, i cant see it going much over 600 to the wheels with this motor set up (just a stock bottom end 5.3, if it blows i'll just buy another for $350 lol, this is a 'budget' setup)... Running speed density if that matters.
What improvements would i need to do to the fuel system for E85. Would probably take it to speed inc for the tune also...
Thanks!

I'd get a pump rated at about 1000 lb/hr, run it at 50+ psi with 83# injectors and you'll be good to go. I'd run at least a -10 feed to the pump, but -10 all the way to the rails would be better. I dunno how FAST rails are set up, but i'd Y -8 into both rails, -6 into the regulator would be ok.

So i'd be looking at a pump, bigger injectors, and some line to route stuff better. I would probably step up to atleast -10 to the pump and -8 to the rails or get -10 for the whole feed and possibly use my -8 for a return....
How much do you guys think i could sell a set of 60# injectors that i bought brand new and have been used for maybe 2 months. and the same with a Bosch 044 pump?
What pump would be good?
I would say aim for 700-800hp, and that is if i were ever to build a motor for more boost, i would say i'd be lucky to be at 500-600hp right now.

aeromotive eliminator or fuelab 41402/42401 would be my choices. I have the fuelab 41402 on my setup. Should be 850+ flywheel on a 200 shot, and I plan to step that up to a 300 next year. What's nice about the fuelab pumps is they have a built in "speed control" that will run the pump at half-speed while you're cruising. Simply toggle switch or you could do a rpm activated as well.
I know i talked to Larry before if i my fuel system would be up to it. I figured he would've said something then that they wont tune boosted E85...
