With Flex fuel more so thinking on long trips and the ability to use any fuel you want

So say your driving on a long trip you got 1/4 fuel of e85 left. You fill up the rest with 98octane since there is no e85.

Load up the map for 98 octane

Is it still ok to drive with a mix of 98 and e85 or?

would run richer with 1/4 tank of e85, but would still work.

Cool beans

What fuel pump you recommend for ~400rwkw and e85?

My ID 1000 injectors would be ok yeah?

ID's will be fine. I have a cheap 460L e85 Walbro sitting here with your name all over it. :P

you would also want the ecu controling boost as you can run a heap more on E85 than 98.

I have always run the same boost on 98 and 85 and still achieved a massive gain

Just keep a couple of empty jerry cans and a siphon with you, so you can drain the tank of ethanol at the servo if you have to. Or better yet, plan the trip better. But they can tweak your 98 map to accept a bit of ethanol; should be fine anyway.

1000 injectors will be plenty; they should be capable of 500rwkw+ in a 6 cylinder application.

Same, my +35rwkw midrange was at the same boost as 98. All in the timing freedom.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
