[jays r33 gtr]

Hey guy's

As the topic states im after a list of parts needed to convert to E85 e.g lengh of hose's, sizes of hoses, fittings, filter ect

Needs to support around 500kw + for my GTR currently setup up with a 3l serge tank and 2x bosch 044.. am i going to need another one also

Ahh, nothing? As long as your injectors have enough overhead...

[Plattsy]

^ this.

e85 does not eat rubber.

Even better a mate of mine told me his tuner said the same thing.. so why do people upgrade lines

[Ben C34]

Why do people do anything?

[Plattsy]

fuel pump and injectors... thats all you need to upgrade. then tune away and laugh at all the extra power you get!

[jays r33 gtr]

So it's all myth's about e85 eating fuel lines.. i'v got 2000cc injectors with 2 x 044 pumps

For 500 KW ATW? Two will be heaps and heaps!

[jays r33 gtr]

Thanks for the verification Piggaz

If you are planning on making 500rwkw you'll probably need to mod a few things! That is going to be a massive amount of fuel.

[GTSBoy]

Yuh, fuel pressure might be a little bit uncontrolled with stock FPR and that much pumpage.

[GTRPSI]

So whats being said here is that for 500Kw + at the wheels that the standard fuel lines are large enough for the flow needed on E85?

If so whats the limit of the standard fuel lines?

Bosch 044's are E85 safe?

Can always use the standard return as a feed and run an extra return line.

044's are rated at 500 working hours on E85.... Or so they say in the box. That's a bloody long time if it's a weekend car.

I know for a fact that Bosch 2000's, 2x044's, turbo smart fpr 2000 a dual entry rail, use the return a second feed and a 14mm return does 500kw with ease.
