Quick question

I have done the jre 125 kit. I did a remote tune with Tes and dialed it in a few times and she runs really well.

18% OD
Headers
ID 850s
Rotofab
Fuel pump booster

Again everything in the 125kit

IF I Want to add E85 alone how much would that garner me for more power?

Here you go. Before and after true E85 with your mods but on a 10" pulley. Your injectors will work, your are going to need more fuel pump though. I would up your pulley size as well to get max gains and take advantage of the cooling properties and additional octane. Also, you should run a Flex Fuel sensor and tune to allow for variances in alcohol content between pumps. Fuel labeled as E85 varies between E50 and E85 true alcohol content.

That is some great gains!

Seems to be almost a flat torq curve after the E85....nice.

80 hp on e85? That's huge? I was thinking like 30-40

You have enough fuel with the injectors and booster, you should see 40 to 50 rwhp increase...You just need to add a flex fuel sensor and tune...

Here are my gains after tuning for E85. The only additional mods from the 93 run was the supporting fuel system, everything else was the same.

Interhiller was added later, e85 and dsx ff system was the only Change.

Impressive gains!

370zyzfr1 · 01-30-2017, 11:19 PM

So one can pull nearly 700whp without cracking open the engine and putting in new rods etc? I think I would rather go this route instead of a cam if I can get those gains. I would be happy with 50hp more.

It's about the same cost as a cam swap. I only have 2 regrets; that I didn't go with ID1300s from the get go and that I didn't add a touch more boost like 97chameleonTA's pulley combo.

Otherwise it's been great. 93 when I want gas milage and e85 when I want power.

370zyzfr1 · 01-31-2017, 09:10 AM

Yah I would rather. It open up the engine for roughly the same gains. That's the last thing I wand to do.

Where are you guys getting your flex fuel sensors? Did you use a kit?
