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.

    • 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
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
