E85 and carb plate system
E85 and carb plate system I have a 5.3 in a boat on a current 150 shot that im running 110 while spraying.
I am looking into swapping over to E85, as you can imagine a boat goes through a lot of fuel. The money savings could be substantial.
I found most of the information im looking for pertaining to the carb/fuel system. But im not finding much on the nitrous side of things.
Currently i run a NOS cheater system jetted 63n/56f. For the same size of shot what would/should my jetting look like (ballpark)? Im guessing a 63/59? But thats from the limited amount of information ive found, and seems to be about a 4 jet spread for e85.
I DO have a wideband, and will replace the sensor if i start running e85. It seems to read a little off with the 110 going through it
What about spark plugs? Still stick with a BR6EF?
I read conflicting reports of fuel lines. I am running the black braided nylon lines, i think i have to change these over to the PTFE hose, but im not sure.
Any information anyone can provide would be great.
thanks

For plugs I would run BR7EF's. Fuel lines it depends on what brand they are and if they are compatible with E85 or not. You can take a look at our jet chart to give you an idea of what the differences are between Gas and E85. E85 you will add 15-20% more to the recommended jet. The link to our jet chart is below. Let me know if you have any other questions. -Matt
