E85 and the new 5.0
 
What all is involved in changing over to E85 on the coyote motors. I know a tune would be required, but what about the fuel lines and injectors etc.?

Burns colder but faster right?

Midnight11 06-29-2013 09:29 PM

30% more power but burns faster. and yes its colder so you wont denotate. also dont think there are any stations in arlington...

Check Kroger. Almost all Kroger stations carry the corn.

Hardly any of the Arlington ones do. I think Mansfield has one or two

That's strange, if I use my locator app, it only returns Kroger stations. I just assumed they all carried it.

Actually its more like 4-5% more HP and 20-30% more fuel. Also burns slower due to the ethanol. Its around 104-106 octane.

sorry i quoted boosted numbers. but it is more than 4-5%

N/A your only gonna get around 15-30 HP....At your HP and 5% that's 21hp. I bet when you go e85 you won't go over 455hp might get 460

GTRacerX 06-30-2013 03:08 AM

Kroger in Mansfield was the closest location
I could find close to me. So is it ok to run E85 if you're not boosted?

Yes, just decrease in your MPG if that is something you try and keep decent.

Who said I'm just trying to add e85? And cool ill still take 460 just fine

I got 12mpg on E85, but if its bought cheap enough it's actually a wash.
