That's all I want to do. GTR injectors with the stock pump on E85. If I get 10hp and get some for $100-$200 you can't beat that power to dollar ratio!

Yes, but like I've explained in my other thread you won't see any power gains going from 93oct to ethanol on these cars.

Not a single hp.

If someone shows gains going from pump to ethanol they should probably spend more time on their pumpgas map.


Now 91octane is a different story, they're gains to be had !

I wonder if seasons play into it too. Like a 93 tune in January might not show same results as July. Like e85 I believe all gas changes throughout the year. Thats a way to show a gain between the two. This is one test I can't do a back to back on as I'll need the tank empty to fill with e85 while at home, swap injectors and flash there to comp for the bigger ones.

visconti or scott what model GTR injectors R35?

synolimit 06-12-2015 03:57 AM

Any new model. They're 545-575cc?? Blue, drop in. I'm on a GTR forum and just asked today. I got like 7 replies at once. They're a dime a dozen in that world. Some with 1000 miles.

ozracer 06-12-2015 06:01 AM

wow thats a cheap upgrade hey

That's quite a bold statement. We regularly have even 2.0L 4 bangers pick up a whopping 5hp on E85, even being at MBT on pump gas. Does the "fuel is naturally oxygenated" mean anything to you?

Jon at Z1 has had quite a few in the 10hp range. Guess he needs to learn to tune :stirthepot:

that's what i hear is common too (7-10). like you said it would be a good $ to hp ratio, but if there isn't any hp to be made, it's a waste of money.

It resists detonation, and runs cooler. I wouldn't say a wast of money.

what do you mean by it resists detonation? and by going e85 the car runs cooler?

You want me to take a picture of me hugging my 2015 I just tuned on E85?

Because of the alcohol/gasoline mixture, E85 has a rough estimate octane rating of between 105-113 octane depending on the mixture. Also the alcohol in E85 has a HUGE cooling property associated with it as well. E85 has a lot of the cooling properties that you also find with Water Meth Injection. (www.enginebasics.com/methinjection) It is great at lowering intake temperatures, lowering engine block and head temperatures, and basically doing everything that can help suppress detonation. So with E85 being SO amazing, why don’t we all convert over and start using it?

E85 burns much cooler, thus helping to keep Oil (And other) temps down. and due to that property, it also gives you the ability to play with the timing more without the risk of detonation.
