Author Topic: E85 in an 87-93? FivePTSlow ¯ Member # 7682 posted                              Anyone tried doing this on the factory fuel lines? I'm running E85 in my other car and it's great for pushing timing advance way up there(25-27*@WOT with small injectors), but my other car is a 2005, so it has fuel lines made to accept E85. -------------------- 2011 GT/CS 5.0 + Boost(Procharger) 90 Bronco 5.8 Lifted 05 SRT-4 24PSI E-85 at least 50 million hp 07 Harley VROD NRS Stage 1 Posts: 1857 | From: Sacramento | Registered: May 2007  |  : Greasy ¯ Member # 5258 posted                              I have done some research on it and people are using the stock lines on there foxbodies and E-85 without issues. -------------------- '93 Cobra-Coyote Powered '03 DSG Cobra '13 Dodge Cummins '14 Rubicon X Posts: 3272 | From: North Dallas | Registered: Jan 2005  |  : Blind 2.3L CAFords OG Member # 3052 posted                              good article to educate on the pros and cons http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/0909phr_gas_versus_e85/index.html -------------------- 89 LX Notchback ex 4cyl, 14psi 02 Harley F150, 15psi Posts: 8521 | From: Fairfield | Registered: Jul 2003  |  : OneFastHatch. ¯ Member # 9537 posted                                 thank you. -------------------- 1991 fobra (slow) Posts: 2139 | From: bay area | Registered: Oct 2009  |  : FivePTSlow ¯ Member # 7682 posted                              The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. All I had to change in my SRT-4 was injectors, fuel pump, wideband, get a way to tune it, and bam instant horsepower without having to do a bunch of bolt ons. With injectors that are too small I can push 25-27 degrees of timing advance at wide open throttle while keeping 10.8-11.2 afr. I think the 5.0 would be an even easier transition because the computer is much more basic. Injectors/maf, pump, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and a wideband should do it -------------------- 2011 GT/CS 5.0 + Boost(Procharger) 90 Bronco 5.8 Lifted 05 SRT-4 24PSI E-85 at least 50 million hp 07 Harley VROD NRS Stage 1 Posts: 1857 | From: Sacramento | Registered: May 2007  |  : Blubyu87gt ¯ Member # 9427 posted                                 Been running E85 for over a year now with stock lines. No issues at all. -------------------- Make something idiot proof and you only find a new class of idiot! Posts: 98 | From: Charleston, SC | Registered: Aug 2009  |  :
