Seems like a large fuel setup, I cant imagine it couldn't handle it...

That said, fuel systems aren't my forte. Posting in the Forced Induction section may yield better results, as this thread...

So you're saying that, because of the fuel in the motor, the volume of air exiting through the exhaust will be higher than if you ran 91/93?

Think about that for a sec before you answer btw :-p

Why would you see that? The same amount of air is being used, it just takes more fuel to burn it.

Likely few if any know (or care) in an N/A Z.

But the facts remain the same - you need to burn about 30% more fuel to get the same horsepower with E85. So take whatever gas mileage you get right...

You realize that you'll need to burn about 30% more E85 to get the same HP as 93, right? Which pretty much eliminates your gains...maybe even costs you more.

How much money would you save burning E85 on a yearly basis? Then, compare to the cost of doing this E85 conversion on an N/A car.

I suspect you'll find, that the cost to transform the car will...

Unless E85 is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, you have an excellent source that doesnt change composition, or and you are staying N/A? No.

If you absolutely must be unique? Sure

If you are running...

Thanks for the insight on the fuel system, Phunk - I was going off of assumptions as far as the fuel pump, but if you're running it now, cool.

Thanks for also reinforcing my feelings that an N/A...

I dont even want to think what the cost in parts alone would be for everything to pick up only that much horsepower. Injectors, fuel pump, maybe some lines and fittings, a tune...at least $1500-2000...

Examples? And define, "nice gains". 5-10 HP at most really isnt much of a nice gain for all the hassle you need to put up with (for example, replacing your entire fuel system really, tuning, and...

No insult intended, but you repeated what's been said several times in this thread I believe lol.

N/A E85 builds are NOT worth the hassle, IMHO. Minor power gains to be had. Boosted, on the...

Seriously? The Sky Redline was a forced induction vehicle - of course you're going to see good gains from E85. And to be honest, that gain seems pretty modest compared to some gains Ive seen in...

More than likely, yes. Would need a custom tune preferably since you burn about 30-40% more fuel using E85 I believe, for the same performance.
