k so i searched and couldnt find if there is a thread already, if there is then excuse this.

has there been a conversion or something that would allow us to run e85? i have buddies that run it in thier evos and damn its made a big diff. and i have tons of gastations intown that have it. so it would be sweet if we could.

its all in the tuning. our cars can run it. higher octane but worse gas mileage. in the end overall cost of e85 is about the same as gas

Yea my buddy runs it in his evo, but you have to tune for it.

Sure, if you want to eat away at the metals in your motor.

You can run it.. you will need bigger injectors (30% more fuel) and tuning capability, also probably a fuel pump if you push hard enough..


read up on it..

does anybody have a link where i can read up on it for the lsj?

and how would the E85 eat up the metals in our engines?
and are the 42# injectors big enough? or would i hafta go 60's?

i would get 60's if keeping everything stock. im pretty sure that the fuel pump would be able to handle the extra load, just not stock injectors. our motors would be just fine with ethanol, minus a seal or two. maybe someone with a little more knowledge on the materials used could chime in. just look up tuning for e85. there should be a decent amount of info on the internets. if you plan on doing this at all, make sure you do your research. once you have, do it again. measure twice, cut once. e85 can get a little hairy trying to switch over to

You will need 60s and lots of tuning time.

i've said it before and i'll say it again, i wouldnt even try it on an LSJ without map switching capabilities, E85 isnt somthing you wanna run 24/7... and in order to run it you would need 255lph fuel pump. and all cars after 1996 IIRC have the capability to run E85 safely with no problems.
