Red face ....e85....

Well, I've been doing alot of searching on E85 setups. And Now I'm considering running it in my FD. I already know you need aprox 30% more fuel. But I'm not too good with math and was just wandering if there is a fuel calculater for E85 similar to this FC calculator.

I am aiming for 450hp to the wheels, or somewhere in that area. Right now my fuel setup consists of: 2) 850s 2) 1600s 1) Supra fuel pump (rewired) FPR

The rest of my setup consists of: 1/2 bridge cut by BDC, GT3574 .84 A/R from a-spec(will be upgrading to a 1.0 A/R) before I have it tuned. And a 3inch, DP,MP,CB.

I'm wandering if the increased fuel demand will raise my IDC past the safe limit before I reach my goal(at least430hp)

BTW I just found out there is an E85 station less than 10miles from my house so getting it won't be aproblem. (haven't checked the price yet though)

at 400whp you will se about 85% inj duty.

I recommend pump gas and separate methanol injection system; not full E85. IUt'll require a full re-design of the fuel system.
