When are fuel rails needed? E85

[scottgt500]

I just placed an order with PBD for: 2.7” pulley, tensioner, 1050x’s, new belt and t-stat. I can’t wait! i was pleasantly surprised to hear that a bap and rails weren’t needed with these mods. Kept the cost down. But also surprised at the same time that they weren’t recommended. I guess the stock pumps are THAT good. I will not be porting my blower and that was the main reason the extra fuel support was not necessary. I currently have jlt and headers with pbd’s tune. Should be fun! I told them I wanted a mid level car, not max effort. How have y’all built y’all’s cars using e85? I am thinking mid 800’s...should be plenty.

I run E-85 with a 2.65" pulley, a BAP, 1050x injectors, 180 T-stat, JLT, Cat-Delete, one range colder plugs, NO Fuel Rails, or Headers YET!!!

Was the BAP recommended or required by your tuner? It still baffles me that I was told it isn't "needed".

I run the exact same setup as AMBJR and no BAP. PBD said nothing about requiring a BAP

Exactly what they told me...not questioning them in the slightest. But VERY surprised. Thanks guys!

From what they told me, thats towards the top of the saftey range. Any more boost or any other mods really would reuire not only a BAP but division x rails... From there id1300s

thats what I said lol.

BAP not reccommended, ive heard a few guys killed pumps with them. stock fueling good to high 8xx's, technically low 9xx, but if your going that high, fuel system, is the way to go anyway.
