You don't want to send / force coolant into the IC tube. It will trap it in there while running and heat soak that water. The tubes are not plugged on the exit end as they gravity drain out anyway.

I know you said your running 2 pumps but I would still be worried that you will not flow enough volume to keep a constant pressure on all 4 tubes. The resistance is now 1/4 of what it was. 2 pumps in series does nothing for volume and that's what you need more of in this parallel flow style. If the combined area of the 4 tubes openings, 64 in total are larger than the smallest area anywhere in your cooling system path you will not have enough flow.

I’m running dual pumps just because my tank is in the trunk and there’s a ton of hoses now. Need a stronger flow. And I did mine exactly how jason makes all his. Awesome temps

I like your co-pilot :-)

Well, I wish you luck. This flow style benefits 1/4 milers most.

For me anyway first startup is always so nerve-racking. Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Car won’t start because my injectors weren’t firing. We have fuel pressure and compression and spark. Took injectors out and they are all clogged. We cleaned them and got one to work. The other 3 have corrosion all inside of them. Thank you e85.

$100 to have them cleaned and if they can’t get them flowing they don’t charge you. We are putting my old 80s back in for now. My 160s were expensive. Hope I don’t need new ones.

I'm so ocd that even though I drive my car a couple of days a month in the winter, I swap from e47 back to 93. Seen to many horror stories of corrosion and moisture with e fuels.

Any easy way for a home gamer to do this themselves?

Mighty Car Mods on YouTube have a pretty easy way of cleaning them. I don't know the technical jargon for how they did it. If I find the video I'll link it

Found it.

E85 cars have corrosion-resistant fuel systems with upgraded plastic and rubber parts. If you run E85 in anything that wasn't, anything that can corrode, will. Anything that can rot, will. Anything that can deteriorate, will.

Injectors are part of your fuel system

I know that but my stock stuff is fine. All my lines etc and I run a tank of 93 every so often. It was my fault for leaving the injectors in there with e for 4 months just sitting.
