Hi guys I currently have a standard bottem end 33 gtst

Mod list in

Pfc z32

Bosch 044

660cc injectors

Op6 highflow

Tuned at 250kw injectors currently hitting 64% duty

Question is do I have enough headroom for e85 with these injectors or do I need to go bigger also what else needs attention before I head down this path

That's abit broad. What is an early death? 2years? Thats mine Thus far and cars are still spot on.

Not sure if it was coincidence, but my primary feed pump got a bit lazy after I put the engine back together. It was sitting around for 10 months between when I popped the engine and got it back together. I only picked it up because the fuel pressure was falling and afr's were leaning out before the secondary feed pump came online. If you have a look for if, 500 working hours the 044's are rated at on E85 fuel.

Depends how much power you want, but I would say 660cc injectors won't get you far.

I'm using 875cc injectors and I'm at 92% duty cycle with a Hypergear SS2 turbo.

But if you're getting the E85 itch just drop in 1000cc injectors and a Walbro 450 E85 pump.

I imagine just being submerged in the fuel isn't the issue, the bronze bush bearings will fail after a while without the lubrication of the petrol. Stick to pumps designed for ethanol/methanol and you will be fine.

044 is not rated for E85 and will die an early death. Best not to take the risk and put an ethanol compatible pump on it on a "just coz" basis.

044 would have to be one of the most reliable pumps to use on E85.

040 on the other hand die left right and centre on e85

660 is definitely on the short end of the spectrum for that turbo on E85. It might restrict your boost to around 18psi. Hard to say

I use 1000cc injectors and 81% duty cycle with a 21U highflow 306rwkw. But my fuel pump isn't the best.

You could bump fuel pressure up perhaps. but I'd be looking into a set of top feeds

run a little e85 safe 2 stroke oil in with each tank to save your Bosch pumps.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
