NA 370z on e85

DLo · 10-03-2012, 09:22 AM

Here is a link to e85 stations nationwide: E85 Stations

Not sure how well it works, but give it a go.

Would these injectors work? 6 1000cc Injectors Nissan All 350Z 370Z G35 G37 GTR I35 M35 Skyline VR38DETT | eBay
And does anyone know if they are any good? And do you really need to upgrade your fuel pump? And I heard the gas lines can handle it, and sorry one more question, I got an 09 and I got gen 3 cai and test pipes, would it be worth it?

I think you absolutely need to replace the pump, lines, and injectors. E85 will corrode parts designed solely for gasoline.

Alright thanks, and does anyone know if the injectors I posted are any good?

I would not trust ebay on no name injectors.....The blood of your engine depends on it!

arnoldas · 02-10-2013, 05:18 PM

alright thanks, what injectors should i get?

Bump.

OP hows it going? I've seen DSM's and evos run e85 and it gets the black sludge. When you pull the pump and look at the sock it's solid black from e85 eating the lines. But we don't have a return fuel system so whatever eating is going on (if it happens) will just clog the injectors. But subis have no issues so their lines are clearly better. My tuner wants me to buy a pump and injectors and tune for free so he can see what e can do.

IPS???. If this and your intake system work combined shows good results I might have to come down there and visit IPS for the same treatment.

Hell yeah. Today was a open house. Good turn out. Check out IPS on facebook. Huge shop and some insane cars like their corvette that runs 6 seconds and 220+

From what I read, I do loose some mpg but u gain hp

theDreamer · 09-23-2014, 04:00 PM

Main things you are e85, injectors, fuel pump, 2 tunes
You will need to run 2 tunes, one specific for e85 and one for your regular pump gas, mixing is not something that can occur currently.

tvfreakazoid · 09-23-2014, 04:02 PM

So I just bought my 370z. Its 2014 manual.
I live in nor Kali and we do have some e85 station around here.
So my question is what is the cost to covert it to e85?
Is it OK to switch from regular fuel to e85 or vis versa?
From reading the comments it seems u need to replace the fuel pump, injectors and fuel lines.
What brand and type do u guys recommend?
Also how much HP would u gain doing this conversion?

Also if u do switch from reg.fuel to e85 or vis versa, can the check engine light come on because of the switching fuel between the 2?

tvfreakazoid · 09-23-2014, 04:04 PM

I don't plan on mixing it. I meant to say if ur low on fuel and there is no e85 pump stations then obviously I would have to put in reg prem. Fuel.
Have u done this conversion?

My buddy had this done to his gtr.
He said it would cost about 1k to do it.

for na 370z e85 you won't need more than 600cc injectors and a 255, our fuel line material (nylon) is adequate for e85. the rubber hose of old is not. when installing the 255 make sure the hose used to run from the pump to the the filter is rated sae30r10 then you will need uprev setup with a gas tune and an e85 tune on a naturally aspirated car make sure the e85 percentage used while tuning is close to that used when filling IE before tuning run the car down to 1 or 2 lights on the gauge and fill with e85 do this same procedure every time you fill the car with e85. easy

Why is mixing not an option? I've mixed in previous cars and had no issues.
