I am trying to compare it to 98 and whether or not a E85 pump is worth the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamIan69 Bronze Donating Members 401 Member For: 11y 9m 16d Gender: Male Location: WA Posted 12/07/13 11:44 AM Author Share Posted 12/07/13 11:44 AM A lot in litres. I don't have a E85 bowser around home, so I will need to bring it home in 200ltr drums. Which means a lot of trips to the bowser and the bowser is 45min away from me. I shoulda been a little more descriptive. What pump do you run with your setup? I would assume I would need a bigger pump to run e85 as I will use more. For example; if I am running 550 horsepower on 98, I would need a 650hp pump to run 550hp on E85 as I am using 50% more fuel. I would assume I would need bigger injectors too due to them needing to squirt 50% more fuel to make 550hp. I know I will make more power on E85, I am just using 550 as a set number for the comparison. Would my assumption be correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be slowly rolling it out. Osborne Park is getting it next according to other posts I've read. Great number crunching red nose. I do similar driving mix as you so if petrol price goes through the roof I might look at fitting for E85.
