Max potential of E85 with Brown Tops and Kirban FPR?

August 02, 2011, 02:02:00 PM

I already have the 120lb injectors from stinger, but am waiting for a PIMP ECU before I install them.

In the mean time, I was wondering about how much horsepower the brown tops can handle with max fuel pressure from the Kirban and Walbro 255.

I was also wondering if any place sells a reman kit for the brown tops resistant to E85?

Thanks!

You will need to rebuild your entire fuel system for E85 and use special injectors lines pump Regulator and so on and so forth ETC. The problem with E85 is its cleaning effect an some say corrosive nature. I run 30% on a car we did but that's it.

I already have everything I need for E85 minus the ECU. Walbro 255, Kirban FPR, Lucas 1260cc new lines.

I have already run E85 several times with no problems at all, but was wondering what the max potential is with elevated fuel pressure on the brown tops.

btw, from what I have seen locally and online it looks like most of the things people say about E85 are myths. Several people I know have been using E85 on stock components with no problems at all except that it runs leaner than Gas due to lower BTU properties. Which is why I got 1260cc injectors.

Increase fuel delivery by 30%. For E85. Their are lots of MYTHS but FLEX FUEL engines have all different components. Its not a MYTHS its fact that all Flex fuel engines have different components. Otherwise all the car makers would just recommend using it with no ISSUES other than a STOICH CALIBRATION

I hate that gas my tahoe looses about 2-3 mpg's with that , it's not even worth running on an everyday basis unless it was $1.00 less a gal.lol
