I use a 25micron stainless element for ethanol and a 10micron paper for PULP. Easy and cheap mod.....if I was using e85 often I'd do the rail and remaining lines. Injectors are engineered to very fine tolerances (good ones anyway) and I wouldnt want anything disrupting the spray pattern. I've also had my tank out and cleaned. I think this topic has deviated somewhat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great thing with e85 is even if it leans a bit more than intended, your margin for detonation is still large.Toads you'd need to mod the niz intake cast section , cut it down so a 4inch silicon bend fits, that's if there's enough length on it, or use another 4inch intake pipe.The 0.7 ar front housing can't be machined from 4inch inlet to 3inch, there's not enough material to cut away ... Unless you welded on a section, but welding comp housings isn't the greatest idea, the TIGs heat can warp them.Good to see more guys considering e85... Bout time we caught up to the EVO guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Veva can bring his chemistry set in and test it... Mine runs all factory fuel lines and filter without any issues, though I mainly use eflex which is said to have anti corrosives mixed in, where as the drum racing mixes may not.Does anyone know if Expensive Daewoo changed lines and filters in their Flex cars to suit ethonal?Also heard awhile ago that Caltex , in agreement with Holden, we're stating they would have around 100 servos supplying Eflex the full length of the Eastern states... That will be great if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STAINLESS again plz You've changed man....

Not being critical just curious. I'm a fan of the nizpro intake and makIng them fit the bigger cover is brilliant.I fitted a check valve on my 044 and rather than it taking longer than stock to crank, it now kicks over straight away and sounds like its only running on a few cylinders for a few seconds before it settles down to a nice idle. I haven't had time to look at the route cause but I have my theories. It's the same on e85 and PULP so most likely not fuel or tune related.Nizpro injectors?

The closest is Hallam which isn't bad for me.Your going to use 1/4 tank by the time you get home Paulie, the one in Hallam, is that the one on the corner of Prinny hwy and Hallam Rd?
