NX makes E85 solenoids.

 

They do? Where's a link? Last I heard they were working on a material to be compatable with E10, so let us know. Also, I believe Dyno Tune has a material for the E10 also. But the E85 from anyone at this point?

NX had a big mailer sent out to all there Manafacture Direct Dealers.. Here is a link you can go to for what they sent out.

NICE!

 

I guess I am at the bottom of the loop. Anyway that's great, and NX does it again. We really don't have E85 available around here yet. I would be willing to try some and run it in my car, much cheaper than 55 gallon drums of Trick 104.

so no one has experimented with E85 and N20 ?

Henny they are claiming NO additional tuning?

 

E85 is everywhere around me.

 

I knew NX would eventually catch up with us! Our standard 175HP solonoid plunger has had a new material that works with E85 for a few months now. We have not seen any issues as of yet.

Sure! It cant be to tricky to deal with once you get the increased fuel needs taken care of. They just broke the land speed record with E85 and nitrous:

On the corrosive part: alot of that is speculation. It IS more corrosive than gasoline, HOWEVER it is less corrosive than methanol and we all know that fuel systems have been designed to work well with ethanol. I know a guy that uses E85 in his non-flex fuel 1990 silvarado just to see what will happen. He said he hasnt noticed any corrosion problems yet and he has been using it for over a year and 1/2. Also on this note, he said you can run up to about a 60% mix of E85 with your standard gasoline in a non-flex fuel car and have zero side effects at all. He said he can even run straight E85, but the different oxygen output of the E85 makes the engine throw a code for the O2 sensors.

The core of flex fuel cars are the ability to pick up the different oxygen charicteristics of Ethanol when it burns, and switch the program in the PCM adding more fuel and more timing on ethanol.

 

I should be dynoing in the next week or two on e85 and the old methanol nx noids with the .321 orifice. They will be at the crank on a 250 shot. I have alot of tuning to do but I have a base program so far.

 

NX has had there kit for a while now. And the company I work for has had alchy solenoids since we opened. But I cant say it since we are not a sponsor. And we have alchy tune ups.

 

watch your piston closely.

 

 

Hey I just talked to someone at NX I got the part number to switch my piston with the new e85 one. So I'll be ordering this weekend.

 

good link for those interested. LOTS of e85 info and some good sources of people actually running e85. give it a read.

I agree,,,
