Ethanol Fuel And Nismo Injectors Causes Failures?

[SargeRX8]

Hey all I found some info on some american nissan website and there are a few posts which say ethanol will cause nismo injectors or any pintle style injector to fail rapidly. This was the only website which turned such result. Whats the go behind this? I intended to run a new ecu with flex fuel in my car down the track but this is information which could delay this.

Oh no, the sky is falling...

Plenty of guys using Nismo injectors on e85, and many other styles of pintle injectors. All injectors these days are ethanol tolerant as they need to be able to run on 10% ethanol fuel anyway. If you want a good top feed injector for the job, grab a set of 40mm bosch ev14 1000's and the black rail I have here.

Yeah I thought so, Ive read plenty of people using these injectors with ethanol fuel. Just when you hear the bad shit, it sticks much better and I gotta clarify. You think 740's are big enough for flex fuel? Whats this black rail? Link me. Just checked out those injectors, hell I think I could sell the nismos, buy those and have change.

I tried to PM you SargeRX8 but your inbox is full.

I think the 740's should do around 350 or so, dependant on fuel pressure. I like having a little overhead though.

I'd like a look at the black rail too plz .

I'd also like to look at this black rail.

Failing injectors probably not, more like the old fuel lines deteriorating quicker and clogging up the injectors. A few of my mates have that issue with their injectors cloggin up with black crap when running purely e85 for around 6 months

Damn, all the easily changeable fuel lines in my have been changed. How much effort it is to change both lines to/from the tank to/from the engine? We accidentally ran E10 fuel in our old boat and I kid you not after a few hours use, the engine stalled. The amount of black shit caught in the carbies was awesome.

If the black crap was from your lines you would know about it. The lines would be hard and cracked. There is plenty of information out there suggesting the black gunk some experience is from the un-lined tanks some servo's are using, not from the car.

Here is the black proflow rail, this should fit perfectly under the 33 gtst plenum if you use the short 40mm ev14 1000's. You would have to run an aftermarket reg with it though. PM me for information.

Hey Sarge, I have Nismo 740's on my car which runs on e85. Have been on there as a daily driver for around 9 months and no issues here.

no problems with my fuel system nothing deteriorating

Had it dynoed recently making 264rkw no signs of leaning out
