E85 and nitrous?
Ive been reading and it looks like people are saying the rule of thumb is increase your fuel jet size by 28%, is this accurate information? Just did the switch to E85 and I will be a 150-175 nitrous tune up.

for e85.. yeah you got to get bigger injectors and probably better than stock pump.
i believe you 30% or more fuel when you run e85 than regular gasoline.
i thinks thats why youre mpg's go to **** when you start running e85 lol.

for a 150 shot if you are pulling off the rail or have a dedicated fuel cell at roughly 55 psi or so will likely be 70N 44F for e85, if you are really concerned about it Call nitrous outlet as they work with a lot of e85 stuff. FWIW a clean tuneup on 93 octane was a 70n 34F so that shows the diff between e85 and 93 right there. As i said though my first call would be to Nitrous Outlet.

Neil why does my e85 chart look completly different than that? I do have your spray bar setup but i didnt think it would make that kind of difference. my jetting from you guys for a 150 is 70n 44f

Thanks for the info, it should help me a lot. But I forgot to mention that I use the NANO 3000 system, will I need to increase the fuel jet size another 25% on top of that 25% for the E85?

Actually the flow from the spray bars to the nozzles and plates is different. We test all our product on the flow bench then make our jet charts. That is why you see some differences between the jet charts on our products. Your setup of 70N/44F should be on for a 150 shot on 55psi tune up.
