I am bolting on the procharger kit next week with the addition of bigger ingectors and an inline pump. I will need to get a tune on the COBB anyways, so was kicking this idea around. Has anyone tuned a boosted G on ethanol? Experiences? Do you think this would be a good/bad idea? With the higher octane and the boosted setu, I would think it could help me?

Gas prices are $1.00 less per gallon for E85 blend. I also understand that it takes more gas to run the car. So will it end up being a wash? Or will gas prices rise to over 5 (its $3.75 now) a gallon and E85 remain about the same?

 

Several guys are running it, likely none on this site most G35 guys that have serious cars go to the FI section on my350z it takes about 40% more E85 then Typical fuel so much bigger injectors and fuel pump are required and usually guys that do it have over 600whp so they do custom fuel feed and return lines. E85 is nice because it burns cooler and would be comparable to race gas for power out put. I am not sure if the cobb has the flexabi,ity for a pump gas tune and a e85 tune. If you run e85 only you will filling up a lot with the 40% more than pump gas requirement.

 

I was thinking of E85, if getting a DW300 pump and 600cc DW injectors anyway, but will they all be enough to support it?
Can i use a Utec + map selector to run normal fuel and then if i have access to E85 switch over to that map or am i missing something?

 

E85 has less energy then 91-93 gas, E85 wont really save you much.

 

But it does run cooler so more boost or not to bother?
