alrite guys, windin down here on gettin the car tuned finally(doin e85). neways, i decided to go with fic 1250's blue max and ofcourse walboro 255, now...is there nething else im gonna need to do with the fuel system? answers would b great...thx guys

 

If you bought them new, no. Just install and then tune immediately after.

If you bought them used, possibly/your choice. It would be good insurance to get new seals and o-rings to prevent any type of leaks.

 

ill b buying them new, so thank u for the quick response, i was hopin thats all that would b needed

 

plug and chug! shouldn't need anything else man. Good luck on the Corn juice you will never look back.

 

thx man, yea im excited..im doin a dual map, so the 1250's wont b an overhaul with pump rite? just as long as there tune correctly?(ie dumpin massive amounts of fuel when not needed?)

 

just make sure the injector scaling etc etc is in line. A good tuner should have no issue. Mine are the 1450's with single walbro and the duty cycle is only like 52% or something like that. What all mods are you planning to run with e85?

 

agp 3.5 ic, agp licp, evo 9 bov, aem truboost, and megan tbe, i got the 10.5 hotside to, so im hopin to b real close to 400

 

I would say without cams or an intake you may struggle to see 400 dynojet with an 8. Some car has done it i'm sure but without either i would guess like 375? Im no tuner though lol.

 

yea not sure about dyno jet, im doin a VD tune from tscompusa, and hes made sum great numbers on cars, but the car is untuned rite now so prolly sittin at stock whp or maybe lower with the mods with no tune currently, but i knw its gonna b a totally different beast when its dne

 

oh yeah for sure. my numbers were also from a VD in dynojet mode. I had my buddy at Blevins tuning do mine and got some ridiculous numbers and 1/4 trap out of the car but ive seen a lot of good looking graphs from tscomp lately as well.

 

hey svt, if u look at that thread, thats y im thinkin i can get close to 400, e85 is def better then the guy runnin 94, plus the 10.5 8 turbo is a little more efficient then the 9.8

plus from wat ive read, just havin an open cone filter with the stock intake piping is sufficient till high hp, i didnt do the uicp for the reason there is no restriction when it comes to the piping except for the stock couplers expanding...so who knws

 

yeah that car is a freak i remember reading that thread. I hope you can get the same result! Let us know how it goes for sure. I think him having a 9.8 with hks intake is basically a scratch for a 10.5 with a stock intake. But you are right about the fuel most of the time e85 is good for anywhere from 35-65 whp for most cases ive seen although some have been more. With these cars its all in the tune. Ive seen similar set up cars make 50whp difference from one owner to another. Boost leaks and weak turbos are a silent killer. Keep us posted man.

 

will do man, take it easy, thx for the help

 

I would recommend a higher flow fuel rail of your choosing especially for running e85. I had chris black from AMS tune my Evo 9 and I put down 365 hp/ 395 ft lbs and I had 3"TBE w/ Megan O2 housing, AEM intake, AMS Cast intercooler, ETS Upper/Lower IC piping, AMS fuel rail, 1000 cc Injectors, and Walbro 255. Best of luck with your tune and all and I hope you reach your goal. I am just letting you know what he told me when my car was at AMS. Higher HP require a larger volume of fuel typically. Especially when dealing with E85. Again, Good Luck with everything this is just my .02
