Who knows, after you make 400-500 reliable HP, others might convert to E85.. Like I said earlier, If I had available pumps around, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot!

I would be using it if it were available to me.

okay I have begun the conversion and i will try to post pics soon. so far the tank is drained and the stock lines are out and I'm ordering the dual fuel pump bracket and sending my fuel rails off to be hard anadonized as well as buying my fuel fittings form russellperformance.com tommorrow morning.

Nice, You should start a brand new thread in the "building and porting" section.

Black93FD.



Lotus cars have a project exige 240R that runs on 100% e85. IT is now called the exige 265

boasts a 20 % raise in power and i think 16 % raise in tq.



It can work ! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

I'm glad to see that there are so many people interested in an enviromentally friendly fuel.. I'm trying to figure out what fuel lines to use for this setup and I'm having a hard time deciding. I tried to base it off of the stock fuel line size but I have no idea what size they are and everywhere I search I can't get any info on there size. also i have a denso pump and i really liked it when I used my gas setup and i would like to just buy another one to use for my dual pump setup but i don't know what they are made of or if they would take alcohol fuels. I know that the walbros are able to take 100% methanol or ethanol but they don't flow as much fuel as the denso pumps so if anyone could tell me what size the factory hard fuel lines are and/or what materials the denso pumps are made of I would be extremely grateful then i can finaaaalllly get this project under way. thanks in advance

are you talking about denso oem pumps??



There is a guy in MN whos building an 3 rotor, 3 turbo, E85 FD. He's running mechanical pump and said E85 is conductive and wanted to be safe.

black93fd 01-13-2007 03:48 PM

okay this may be stupid but could you explain the whole "conductive" fluid deal? also what did you mean by him wanting to stay safe? about the denso pump (I should have clarified) I meant rp competition pump
