E85 EFI

Post by schmidty52 »

Hey,
Just wondering if any one has messed around with E85 fuel injection. I want to build a 428 that will run on E85 with fuel infection. Just asking if any one has done something like this before and has any tips or possible builds. Eventual I want to add a centrifugal supercharge to the engine as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

that would be pretty cool. Though some die hards would hate it cause they want original carbed motors. But I think its really cool to see different things being done

Although I have not done it, building a FI engine for E85 is simply a matter of being able to deliver sufficiant volume correctly metered. As I'm sure you know the main reason for dong this on a "hot rod" is that E85 is well over 100 octane.

You may want to ask this on E85 forum.
