Originally posted by Slo2g What does it matter if I am, I simply asked a question about E85 and fuel pumps. I want to know how much E85 a wally 255hp can support before you need a booster pump, dual pump intank set up, or an external pump(A1000) etc...and if you must know I am running a 10.5:1 comp piston with a head that has been decked 3 times and a S20g turbo. And E85 can make more power on a stock car as well. In my del sol I had a bone stock B16a(intake to header stock) made around 130 whp and after switching to E85 on the same set up laid down 151whp and 111wtq. Thats the problem I'm running into...too much he said she said shit about E85..
Take your panties off, get the twists out of them and put them back on.
A B16a engine is already a high comp engine so it will make a nice difference. I didn't know your setup. Your standard 9.6:1 2gnt might see a few extra ponies but it's not really worth it for the cost of fuel and tuning required
For E85 you're going to have to do the math for what your system needs. E85 requires almost exactly 33% more fuel than normal gasoline so if you're close to the limit on your fuel setup currently then you're going to need something more. I don't know what kind of headroom your setup has.
Basically a fuel system that's topped out on a 255 wally will act like it's stuck with a 170lph pump because of the additional fuel required for a stoich mix.
