E85 on a N/A Setup

[mugsee]

We are running E85 fuel in our track EG with b16a.

Good to see someone being brave with this fuel. Did you guys do any upgrades to the fuel lines/fuel pump/injectors or are they still OEM parts?

Use 98Ron, thats what your car was tuned to take..

not true at all.

[VTECMACHINE]

Aren't they tuned for 95 RON, from factory...?

100% true!

98 > 95

what's the AFR range running with E85?

having stiochio. value of 9.6, im guessing the stock 240cc injectors would max out quickly? I suppose it needs higher flow injectors or changing the fuel reg pressure?

any idea of post cold start fuel addition requirements?

E85 is the new trend!

We'll we been running braided fuel lines ever since we built the EG( inside engine bay). Fuel pump been same old, walbro fuel pump. Injectors we are running OEM honda item, i think they are Honda Prelude ones which are 290cc. There about 94% duty cycle @ 9200rpm.

We dont use the car daily driven. We do take it out on weekends on cruises and grocery shopping. Well to give you a idea, took it to wollongong last weekend, filled up 30L. It pretty much munched it all there and back. So about 200km round trip its about 15L/100km.

Yes you'll need a programmable ECU to tune. We are lucky to have someone provide dyno and tuning for little cost.

Tuning will have to be in lamba. Cruising about 1.0 and WOT 0.9.

Cold start is better then ever. LOL

fatboyz39, thanks for info

also, did the ignition timing map change alot?

actually im in the process of getting my car to test run on E85 too. it would be tuned with hondata and a bosch wideband O2 sensor. i've ordered some bigger injectors atm and will go from there...


i wonder how it will coupe with the high flow cat...

Yes the ignition timing changed.

Post reults when you get around doing the test. High flow cat isnt a problem
