E-85, what other supporting mods will help me reach 400 whp?
 

Hello there, I have a IX with the mods in my sig, and I was going to get a Buschur FMIC and get it retuned by Buschur, but the more and more I read about E85, the better it sounds..... So I'm considering just doing the E85 injectors/pump/tune route, and get the little switch I've read about to switch between my current map/E85 map...

But do you think it'll get me close to 400 whp? I want to keep the car reliable, so I don't want to go any higher then 400 at this point, but I think E85 is still a pretty reliable source of power and I can do without cams and **** like that....

thoughts?

what size injectors are you planning on running

i believe you need a 30 percent compensation over petro

im not to sure about the evos but i know with DSM they upgrade fuel lines also.


but they claim they hardly ever knock

probably 750's, but I think it's probably best the Buschur decides that for me.

If you are going to run E85 you will need larger then 750's. Get some 1000's and a walbro FP

You should be close to 400 with that. What PSI do you plan to run at

Well like I said, I plan on keeping it somewhat reliable, so between 26-28 psi, but I'd say closer to 26 ideally.

Thats a decent PSI boost from stock so I dont see why not

yes defiantely a upgraded fuel pump. and maybe a FPR also thats just a suggestion

Hey Im in doing the same thing. just bought 1000cc injectors, hks cams, and still looking for a good deal on a walbro pump. 400 is my goal as well, but i dont think itll happen.

with e85 to? or just that by itself

there's no way he'd get close to 400 whp without E85 on just those mods. Alot of VIII's with FP Green's are only making a little over 400 whp, so E85 and he'll be set..... me too!

thats why I was asking :)

Dude prob. you have all the bolt ons also ..
With the cams and e85 you will get to 400 with a good tune i think
Hopefully {thumbup}

theres guys making 400 on stock turbo with out e85 so i dont see why you couldnt with e85
