Hey Guys,
I’ve been looking into setting up my car to run on E85 and wondering if anyone here has experience with an NA requirements list for a 4G93?
I see there are a few turbo guys out there that have obviously gone for E85 but I’m unsure of differences to my NA build.
To run E85 the basic list is:
E85 fuel pump
E85 dedicated fuel line
E85 fuel filter
Remap computer
Bigger injectors (for turbo applications)
My biggest questions lie around the fact that E85 requires 30% more fuel to run and most people I see building for E85 tend to upgrade injectors to suit the extra flow requirement.
I was told before that standard 4G93 injectors would support up to about 600hp and the computer is the same as the EVO.
Question:
Am I correct in assuming that I could install the E85 pump, lines and filter and then just get the computer remapped to allow the injectors to pulse for 30% longer, along with other dyno tuning tweaks to make it all work?
With an NA setup will I avoid having to buy bigger injectors?
Are there any other factors that need consideration in going to NA E85? I guess I’m leaning mostly on the guys that have gone turbo E85 here for info because I really can’t find much info on NA applications that aren’t V8 pushrod engines.
I’m hoping my stock injectors will be good enough and make this a much cheaper build option. I am buying a new fuel pump etc. anyway so I was investigating if it is financially worth the extra to pay a bit more for E85 parts instead.
Any input would be appreciated.
