Am now sourcing a E85 compatible set now.Just a heads up for everyone else that's all.Hey mate, how long have you been running this set up before e85 and how long have you been running e85 for? Is it possible for a rubber hose to crack on the outside due to the substance going through it?Or is it more to do with the fact that it is under pressure?

I believe that the cause is from e85, I will also pull the petrol tank out and have a look at the submersible intank hose too. I believe that maybe even worse.

Lucky to pick that up mate before it was too late.Cheers.. Did you change the intank submersible hose also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale@CHE Member 52 Member For: 15y 11m 13d Posted 06/05/12 11:57 PM Share Posted 06/05/12 11:57 PM again neat e85 and 1 044/+intank will do the trick for 400rwkw , if the tuner cant do it see another because theres heaps that can with excellent rep's oh and that should be say 129mph at the small end of the scaleyeh got plenty of fg's running 130+ but the fuel systems are done my way, one of them has done 80,000km on eflex and the tune hasnt been touched in 2 years and it only runs 131mph on street tyres.. I just dont agree with under doing fuel systems on ethenol.. there is not a great deal of room for error with it, if people want to run on the edge then that's there call but I wont do it to my customers cars espically ones that get used at the drags or on a circuit..anyway old mate will be here in 45min.. will see what it makes.. if it runs 129mph I would expect it to make 410-420rwkw so we will see. be good info for everyone any way as ill log the injector duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale@CHE Member 52 Member For: 15y 11m 13d Posted 07/05/12 02:55 AM Share Posted 07/05/12 02:55 AM here is the graphhttp://www.castlehillexhaust.com.au/files/FGinj.jpgcar is running leaner than I would personally would run it on this boost,if I was doing this car I would have 40% larger injectors as it sits now which gives it 120lb the way it is to regain control of the injectors and get the mixtures back to what I would normally run, but with future mods the 160lb are really the best option..
