Anybody want to buy a set of ID1000's with one most likely junk for $350? Only used for 10K miles.

Injectors that have E85 ran through them should be taken out yearly and cleaned. The E85 is very corrosive. Also, make sure those injectors are E85 compatible. Some are and some are not.

Doesn't make sense.

If the injectors are designed to run E85 then why does it need to be cleaned so often? If your fuel system doesn't have the equipment to support E85, you shouldn't be running E85 anyways because of it being corrosive.

I came from supra's where guys run E85 all the time. A shop posted pics of injectors that were one years old and how bad they looked. They recommended getting them cleaned yearly. It might be over kill but when you're tuned on the raged edge or making over 1000whp, what's a couple hundred bucks a year for piece of mind.

As much as E85 can be a pain in the ***, its benefits outweigh its negatives. All this cooling discussion has me thinking of its latent heat of vaporization properties. It literally pulls 3x the amount of heat out of the cylinder and runs your block temps cooler.
