Looking into e85 Tuning..

Proposed · 01-20-2016, 03:04 PM

Hello, I'm sure I could use the search button but I enjoy fresh discussion that myself is included in.. so keep that into account before the flames start up. I currently have a 2012 370z 7AT. The mods I've done on it currently is Stillen CAI, Berk HFC, and I plan on getting Invidia Gemini CBE. So after those mods I will definitely need a tune and I've been looking into ECUTEK because I live in South Dakota (Yes we do have electricity and vehicles here

) I was wondering though with the e85 tune I'm most likely going to need to up the injectors and probably the fuel pump. So with that being said 1000cc injectors and a 255 fuel pump would be sufficient correct? Consider I will be NA for about a year.

I would personally just wait until you boost your car to go E85 since you will obviously need to retune at that point anyways. Just my

1000cc, fuel return system, 340 lph fuel pump. Basic for e-85 for the boosted application. 600cc/GTR injectors would all be needed for e85 n/a. Stock fuel pump can handle it.

And you won't gain much if any power e85 on a NA tune. Not really worth the hassle of not being able to fill up at any gas station. Wait til you are boosted.

That's because nobody has heard of it.

Thanks for the input everyone. I will most likely stick with Premium 91 octane. Switch to e85 on the boosted tune.
