So the only real mod that needs to be done to run E85 and the E85 tune is bigger injectors? like 1000cc or 1300cc?

Yogi911

Yes. At least with cobb. 1000cc fine for stock turbos.

Thanks! What about when I upgrade the turbos??

bigrpowr

yeah, but i have a tune for e85 on stock injectors and bigger ones. i'll be interested to feel the difference from e85 on stock injectors vs race gas .

just an update, after having a 3 month struggle after giving my car to a local indy and having them blow a turbo , and take 2 months to replace/rebuild it, my car runs perfect. i have the 1100CC injectors , running E85 , and have protomotive tuning . i'm gonna do some datlog's to get the tune perfect now, but its 90% perfect with just some dead pedal when going foot to the floor from a dead stop . i got the TCM reprogrammed for the power , and the latest update on my DSC . the car is WAY stronger than tune and exhaust only, and a good bit stronger than it was on MS109 . not sure what it makes but i'm guessing well over 600 , gonna go to a local dyno day in the beginning of march and see !

it's so nice after a few months of total bs to have it back perfect .

I see you will be at the 3/4 dyno event. Stick around and see what other turbos run. I run methanol and only had a 10 hp difference with 91 vs 104.
I believe I will be running midday.

congrats on the new power....its always fun.

My question is how did they blow your turbo????

bigrpowr

they didn't. but the drive home the car was way under powered, and wasn't making boost , and when i stood on it to see if it would make boost, BOOM , oil out the exhaust and a big white cloud. that was that. i assume it had a big boost leak , from not connecting the boost hoses properly . it didn't make it 10 miles.

Damn dude that sucks, did you go with a stock turbos? or upgrade

bigrpowr

the shop paid to replace the turbo so i didnt bother confusing the situation with upgrading. i may upgrade in the future , but the car is really fast as is. not sure what it makes but it has to be over 600 , and that's pretty fun for now.
