andlid Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hello, As some of you might know I'm looking to convert my Z to run on E85, I will need bigger injectors and also a bigger fuel pump. I've been trying to get some answers for the tuner that I might use for this job but he is a very busy chap (good sign really) and they guys in Japan wanted silly money and the US lads seem to be very slow in responding so here it goes. Looking for injectors that can handle a future turbo build and also a pump that can do the same, dont want to get 'smallish' injectors that I might have to swap out again in the future when I go FI. Any pointers on Size and Fuel pump volume that I'd need? And where to get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think that you will find a tuner that will be capable of sorting your car to run Stock, Bigger injectors, E85 and FI. You will have to decide on what route you want to go and this is more complex than you think. For instance how are you planning to take degrees off your ignition for E85? E85 is in limited supply but I assume that you already know this. I can advice on options for all the above individually but really this advice should come from your chosen tuner.

E85 Maybe thats why I've heard nothing back yet > For instance how are you planning to take degrees off your ignition for E85? < No clue... The supply of E85 is cool, have a few places nearby selling the stuff. Hmmm I do not think that you will find a tuner that will be capable of sorting your car to run Stock, Bigger injectors, E85 and FI. I think what I mean is that I would like to start my FI build with using bigger injectors and fuel pump and then once I want to go down the FI route (not related to E85) I'd keep the pump and bigger injectors and change internals and the 'rest' of things that needs to be changed for FI.

More than likely the injectors that you run with the E85 will not be compatible with a FI set up. What is the attraction of E85 to you?

It would be the higher HP figure...but more that it's VAT deductible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is fantastic to get something back from this Government but with respect if money is an issue then FI is not for you. 10K on a shoestring: 20K to do it properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next step would be to get it to 4.2l and then after that go the hog and do the rest... the E85 is just to get some nice hp figures with my haltech ecu unit, and get some monies back is a bonus but can be discussed as a reason to do it... duh... he he...

andlid Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 4.2Lt......The very best of luck to you mate.....Best go speak to your tuner. was talking to him about strocker kit (3.8) and he then said better off to go with 4.2 something like this: http://www.forgedperformance.com/store/ ... 264&page=1 but not that costly, labor will be the killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
