Can you run e85 on low boost without fuel system?

[Andy13186]

I have an 18 gt and I am tuned and on e85 currently but NA. I am looking at getting a whipple supercharger and want to run e85.

Can 18's (direct and port injected) run ~700-750 rwhp on low boost with e85 safely without a full fuel sytem just a boost-a-pump and 1000cc injectors?

Some tuners will do it on a DW400 pump

Call a few tuners and ask them directly......

I don’t know about whipple or pd superchargers, but on a beefcake special centri with the 1050 injectors and bap (stock pulley) you can. Be a easy and super safe 675-700 whp.

I personally will only run a centri or turbo (E85) on a gen3 a10 setup based on what I have seen... lol

I’d call around. But I doubt Lund will tune anything e85 withOut a return fuel system. My kit came with 1050s and a bap. I dyno’d 701 on 93. So I don’t see why you couldn’t Make the numbers you want with a gen 3 engine.

Yes i went 9.9 at 140+ with stage 1 Eddelbrock TVS 2650, 1050 injectors and a DW Pump.

Yes, my Whipple 2018 Mustang is just over 800 RWHP on E85/C85 with just a DW400 and a KB boost-a-pump. I have over 80 quarter mile passes on it and running 9.7 ET all day long (No issues) on low boost. Motor has over 200 quarter mile passes on it, so far...

It will work fine.

your mileage may very

Lund will not tune E85 and FI unless you have full return. AED was going to tune my 18+ tt car with ID1050x and JMS but ended up going with PBD and they did it. Much easier to do with Turbo setup/centri over PD supercharger.

I was hoping an aftermarket fuel pump wouldnt be necessary, What would be the max hp on e85 with just a boost a pump and the stock fuel pump? Or is that not possible?

plus a bap

This is a bomb waiting to blow up
DO NOT RUN E85 w/a BAP/DW400

Buy a return style fuel system

Depends on how much boost it runs. Lower boost fine. ??

I wouldn’t, at low boost there’s no reason to run E85.

Just run a Tier 1 93 octane fuel like Shell 93

Running E85 with the DW400 pump and a BAP absolutely no fuel issues or even close to running lean. I race every weekend, car is extremely consistent running 9.7 all day long with 80+ passes on it. Having a good turner is key. Yes, I will need a return system If I want to run low 9's. Seen a few blow up with a return system...

These engines love E85 with the 12:1 compression you don't need a lot of boost to make excellent power with E.
