e-85

[Feminist turnip]

Should I make the transition to e-85? What do you guys think?

[TheOtherNick]

I think you gave us no information to base our opinion on. What is done to your car? Can you tune? Is it readily available by you?

[Feminist turnip]

yes its available where i live and yes, i can get my hands on a tune and just headers, and intake.

[TheOtherNick]

I would suggest having your own tuner, that way if you leave town and can not get e85 you can switch the tune back, you will also need injectors.

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

I say no. Just stick with your 93 octane.

[redlinepontiac]

its a big jump 65lb injectors mininum, dual fuel pumps to be on the safe side, yea you make more HP on a proper tune but you go through alot more fuel and its got a high water content so you should change your oil and plugs more often.

[Feminist turnip]

well alright then, if i got to go through getting all that **** then screw that, i knew i had to get tune and injectors but no extras on fuel pump. What else can you guys suggest to get next then?

[TheOtherNick]

I assume your supercharged? You could do modded rockers,tune and pulley drop. you dont need dual pumps for e-85.

[Feminist turnip]

yea 04 gtp, and honest opinion here, over all if i did go e-85, could i get away with just injectors and a tune? And is it true that if you drop in pulley size, that it puts alot more stress on the tranny and it will go out quicker.

[TheOtherNick]

anytime you add things to make power it will put more strain on the driveline and stuff will break more. I would wait for e85 untill you have done more to the car and have a feel for it.

[Feminist turnip]

Sounds good. Is there anything else you can think of to do to my car thats not going to blow the tranny for a while anyways.

[TheOtherNick]

tune and a 3.6 pullie would be fine as long as you dont drive like an ass everywhere

[Feminist turnip]

Alright well thanks for the info!

[TheOtherNick]

No problem

[kawasaki22106]

with your mods you have stay away from e85 you dont need it. either go with rockers or even a mild cam double roller wouldnt be a bad investment drop pulley size intercool it for sure. build the tranny and u will have a nice daily driver still on pump fuel. just my .02

[Feminist turnip]

ya except i dont really want to spend 2 thousand on a built tranny and pay another 500 to install the son of a gun

[TheOtherNick]

Doing a trans swap is not really that hard. Most could do it in a weekend

You don't need 2 fuel pumps...in fact...all you need is a stock pump and a pump re-wire. Our pumps are fine from the factory. Also, if I were doing E85 I wouldn't skimp and go with 80's. Why? I'd rather have too much fuel than not enough.

My thoughts...screw E85. Get a tuner...put 100% Methanol Injection on it and go to a 3.4"

headers then a 3.6 + scan gauge for KR

His second post said he had headers and a intake
