Super caked up injector 20k miles on just e85

Yes. He does have a catch can setup.
We were doing some tuning, and I could not get the afrs to dial in. As soon as I had them clean, they would fall out of wack. I felt like I was chasing my tail. So I was like I will not touch your car until you pull those injectors and check them. 20k miles and 2 years of straight e85, from the same pump in Ontario California. I use the same pump for my evo so my injectors are coming out this weekend. I might send them off for cleaning just for the hell of it.

Likely cause is the PIB cleaning agent in the gas component of E85
(Yes, flush the system w/a tank or 2 of 91-93)
Cut & paste here from our Gunk thread:
PIB is designed to soften engine deposits, but below a certain concentration (by total fuel volume) it is actually counter-productive. What happens is that with insufficient PIB by volume, the normal valve deposits don't soften. The PIB actually combines with these normally occurring deposits and makes build up worse.

Brother is on walbro 255hp with the sock that comes with it for an STI application.
I am running dual walbro 416 e85 pumps with some mustang socks.
No other filters for us, and both of our cars are 100% e85. I think I have only had my car on 91oct once in the last 4 years and that is because I was going to Europe for 7 weeks, and I just pumped all the e85 out, flushed with 91oct so injectors would not freeze up. After I got back pumped the 2 gallons of 91oct out and e85 went back in.

That is nuts! I have a Supra and have run E85 for years. In fact all of my Supra buddies have. We have FIC 1100, 2150 etc. I pulled mine out after years of straight E85 use and they looked brand new. Had them tested and they flowed like new.
We live in southern California. Our ethanol has been perfect at 84-85% year round. Is it possible this is an environmental problem?
