BrIaN EG2 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 i dont think it would.. i know the new GMs are starting to make their vehicles E85 compatable.. but havent heard anything about new hondas doing that.. i wouldnt do it unless you build your car for E85.. then its just a waste of money, yeah it burns more like race fuel but it wont last for sh!t.. its not worth the money to convert to E85..

BrIaN EG2 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 if you build and tune them for it they can DSMs and anyother company will need new injectors and a bunch of other stuff to run E85 correctly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown330 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Most vehicle's made in the last ten years can run E85 (as ethanol fuel blends have existed since the early 90's). FFV's have distinct fuel/timing maps for E85 and regular gasoline and can switch between the two automatically. You'd have to tune a non-FFV to run on E85 accordingly. Know a lot of guys who have swapped to E85 in their turbocharged/supercharged cars and trucks using OEM-type fuel pumps, lines, and injectors with zero corrosion problems. Just running E85 in a non-FFV you will probably at least get a MIL code thrown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I dont know why you would want to run e85. drove around a FFV and e85 netted 2/3rds the milage that e10 did. And it was only 10 cents a gallon cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shak3yb0n3z Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 i thought you only needed bigger injectors and a stronger fuel pump to run e85? and the last time i went injector pricing, whether you bought a 440 or 1000 injector it was pretty much the same price.

BrIaN EG2 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 same here, i was told by numerous people who are converting their evos to E85 that id need 1000cc injectors, a bigger fuel pump, a better fuel rail and some other stuff.. i just said eff it because ill be getting worse mpg for hardly any cheaper price at the pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_7 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 so it not good to do e85 cause i won't get good gas miles cause my dude run e85 n he say he get good gas miles so it's good 4 some cars then the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 so it not good to do e85 cause i won't get good gas miles cause my dude run e85 n he say he get good gas miles so it's good 4 some cars then the other the way you talk reminds me of this guy . running e85 for mileage is a bad idea, it requires more fuel per unit of air to maintain a proper combustion. on the other hand it doesn't knock as easily under heavier loads which is helpful for boost and high compression. you can run e85 with a tune and most likely a fuel delivery system that can support the needed volume.
