Do you need special injectors for E85?
E85 will require about 30% more fuel than regular gasoline to achieve the same power levels. For example, where a 550cc injector would normally be appropriate, you will need a 700cc injector for E85.
Is E85 bad for injectors?
E85 is actually safer for your engine than regular gasoline is. E85 flex fuel not only powers your engine but also cleans your engine, fuel lines, and fuel injectors. That’s because E85 contains a high amount of ethanol, up to 83%. It clears the engine, fuel lines, and fuel injectors of deposits.
What size fuel injectors do I need for E85?
650cc would be the min on a stock regulator if your motor isn’t bone-stock, but anything up to 1200cc will work great. A couple guys on here (who to live near me too) have IN900’s and IN1000’s from Injector Nation in their E85 D16’s.
Do I need bigger injectors for flex fuel?
But because E85 requires much more fuel volume, you’ll also need to upgrade your fuel system too. But you’ll need at least bigger injectors to handle that fuel volume, and custom tuning to deal with the new squirters (see “E85 Tuning” sidebar below).
