shananp Member 248 Member For: 15y 7m Gender: Male Location: Werribee Posted 13/01/11 06:12 AM Share Posted 13/01/11 06:12 AM my car is tuned to the 60pound injectors currently on pump fuel.I just put some 1000 pound injectors in and started car and it was running rich but it was slugish down low till boost come on then ran fine just a little black smoke.I put some e85 in tank just to see what car would do and now its a bucket of sh*t and my tuner is away on holidays :( for 2 weeks.I would have thought if e85 needs 30-40% more fuel and I have gone a bigger injector it should have been close. any ideas?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also ignition curves that are changed with the different fuel. You'll probably find that the ignition is too retarded to suit E85.

Empty E85 through surge tank...Replace the 60lb injectors back in and refuel on 98... f*ck around with E85 when your tuner is ready to play!
