I Would like E-85 now that gas is an arm and a leg. Plz figure out the puzzle soon so I can put more money into your pocket and less into oil companies.

Thanks,
Geoff

 

isnt byt working on the same thing right now?

 

I do not know. But I want it so bad

 

i didn't think our stock fuel system could support the fuel pressure that is needed for e85 ? idk if that's true or not. plus i thought that was the whole reason zzp did a second fuel rail?

 

With the buick DI E85 injectors this may be possible.

 

you realize it works out to be the same right? you use approx 25-30% more fuel with e85

 

^this.

 

at least u can say its cheaper LOL

 

I've been able to flow enough at 2800 psi to get to about 70% E in colder weather. Any more than that and I pop a low fuel rail pressure CEL, happened last week at 75% E and 40* IAT2's.

Bigger injectors will mean we need larger fuel pumps, or at least one of them me thinks. I tried backing off the midrange load a bit but had the same issues, fully bolted LNF btw. 45% injector DC ftl.

I can do 60% all year long, even in sub zero weather but it isn't any faster than the 1:1 blend (47%).

 

I get that it works out to be the same.. and I'm not all that smart when it comes to E85 and tunes and all that.. so correct me if i'm wrong.. but if I could run E85, use more fuel, come out to about the same cost overall.. but have more whp/wtq.. I'm not seeing a downside here..

 

well the way you are looking at it is the correct way to look at it, not like the OP wanting to "save money on fuel"

 

lol... im listening in as well... my ma has an 08 impala w/ the flex fuel availability, and i wanna know about spending a lil less on the fuel per gallon wise but obtain alot more whp ...please explain

 

I am happy to report that I believe we've solved 100% of this puzzle. I'll report in another thread.

 

I would be happy to test for you Vince.

 

After just filling up with some this weekend, you aren't saving much money LOL. It was over $3/gal still. (3.02 to be specific)

 

its honestly better than 4.30/gal

 

$4.30 is crazy, ours is still around $3.50 for 93

 

Yea. Up here is 4.29

 

How much is the E85 up there then?

 

Wow we have it good here apparently, $2.70 for E85 compared to $3.70 for 91

 

like 2.90 about 2 weeks ago

 

Thats crazy that your E is less then ours but gas is so much more lol

 

I wish i could get 94 for 3.50/gal or even 4.30/gal. Canadian in Ottawa. Ultra 94. 139.9 per Litre ( 3.78 x 1.39.9 = 5.29 )

 

I immidiatly wanna hang myself lol

 

Good thing, car holds a small amount of gas and i get decent mileage.
