I would say right fuel system , e85 and a little more boost 500+ can be had even on the stillen kit

I have the CJM road race fuel pump with the S1 fuel system on order so the fuel system is covered. When Stillens kit is ready I will add more boost and injectors and we will see if your right! Hopefully there is a good upgrade for the 7AT by then because I will probably need one if you are right!

No way would those work..unless your going for 4xx.

Buy my injectors...$350 Need to be flow matched though.

When I converted to e85 I went with larger injectors, AAM return loop fueling system, adjustable fuel pressure regulator , all stainless.braided fuel lines and fuel cell and pumps designed for e85. Don't underestimate the corrosive nature of e85. I don't think much of OEM fueling system is up to rigors of pumping e85.

My car now makes well over 400 wHP in naturally aspirated form running pump e85.

Not only do you want larger injectors but ones rated to run e85. I used 725cc on my NA motor.

Everything in the 370z fuel system is fine with E85.

For any boosted 370z on e85: 1000cc injectors!

have you tested this? The pump injectors and line are all fine? So all you would have to do is tune for e85 then? Oh and find as station to get it at?

No, he means that all the lines and such are compatible with E85. You still need injectors and pump.

Ah and tune of course. Is this even "worth" it WHP on a bolted car or just for FI. Thanx

I don't think you would need to upgrade the fuel pump. But you're right my point is that there is no problem with e85 compatibility. As for if your fuel system provides enough volume for it is another issue.

Edit nevermind I was thinking the stock injectors were 440cc but I believe they are actually like 310cc so injectors would be pretty much for certain, sorry.

Plus, as cheap and easy as it is to throw in a Walbro 255 at the bare minimum wouldn't it make sense to give yourself headroom?

Yeah the stock injectors run out of fuel right around 350whp, for FI e85 I would say to go with a stealth or aem e85 pump minimum if you plan to be over 500hp the 255 in all the FI kits will be running hard on alcohol at that point.

Phunk is your entry return system (S0 or S1, can't remember the numbering off the top of my head) enough for a e85 return set up or would you recommend something more?

FYI...I wouldn't be looking at e85 for a ton more power but to give me safety on the 500-500whp I'd like to run.

im running automotive 485lph fuel pump, cjm stage 0 return fuel setup and 1000 id injectors

my only problem is i still have most of my water/meth kit still hooked up from when i had the stillen. and i am thinking should i just rewire the water/meth kit back in to work with the turbo or just remove it and go fuel e85 ( closes station is 20mins away)
