what do I need to do to move to E85?
#11
ILoveMyHonda1984 is supercharged at 20 psi on E85 and is putting out a little over 500 to the wheels. He has ID 2000 cc injectors, a walbro fuel pump, and a kenne bell boost a pump. Since his was an AP2 he had to get the new kit from Inline but since yours is an AP1 you won't need to do that.
So what I would recommend is to get some ID 2000cc injectors, probably rewire the pump, add a boost a pump, and maybe add a new FPR.

Justin,
Have you considered getting a meth injection kit ? If your not looking for more power meth injection would be a great option and no fuel system upgrade. You just need to install the kit, get tuned for it and keep the meth tank full.

Well Momentum has a point per say and I thought about it too to be honest. Now that I'm down in NC I looked around and there are some places that sell it. But the closest one for me is about 50 miles away. One thing to consider is you drive your car a lot so in your average driving area how many places are there E85 ? I have decided against it because it really isn't readily available in my area. E85 is cheaper at the pump but you will also go through a lot more fuel then 93. I have no experience maybe others will chime in but when you factor in the extra fuel you go through. It may not be cheaper and since your not using E85 to reach high power goals or perhaps to maintain stock compression I don't know if its worth it. But maybe talk with Evans and the guys from full blown and see what they say and that will help you make a discussion. Because they will help you see cost vs benefit.
Actually I'm considering the meth injection myself because I want to help prevent detonation and also lower my IAT sounds like a win win to me.

I say go with METH, there are multiple failsafes and with the little Green LED light and a Flow sensor, as well as it sending an error message to your EMS and knock control, to me its a no brainer.
of course my Flow Gauge came broke from AEM, but they are replacing it, lol. The nice thing is the little GREEN LED flashes if there is an error and brightens in intensity with the amount of flow
When I get done with the retune I am going to make a quick little video of how it works and it in action , I will also do data logging to give rock solid proof, I believe with data logging I can see if there is knock, as well as IAT temp etc..........
Problem is, it never ends, once you do METH or E85, then you will want a Q16 tune, then you will want rocket fuel

If you have E85 at a pump close by you would be insane to use meth.
I have an e85 station right next to work, problem is it's about the only one within 100 miles. Not a huge deal since I work right near it, but the problem is if I ever want to drive some place further than 1/2 tank of gas I'm going to need to be looking up e85 stations in advance.....

Well I could be wrong but I don't think its easy as switching maps between E85 & Pump gas. With all of the fuel system upgrades to flow all the E85 you'll need, I don't know if you can just switch maps. But if that is true then no worries Justin.
Btw: I agree with you Joey about both using meth and the fact its never enough
