FPgreen, HKS 280s, straight pipe, are 880 injectors enough for E85?
Just wondering if i would have to go up in size with my injectors to safely run an E85 tune.


Car has an old school FPgreen, HKS 280s, 3 inch intercooler pipes, and no cat, and currently is tuned for 93 with 880cc injectors.

Thanks for any and all help.

You'll be able to get some gains but your gonna run out of injector quick on E85 with 880's.

Agreed. You'll be able to get the car running with them, but you won't have squat for fuel in the top end. 1200s are probably the smallest injector you could run while still having a bit of safety margin in ur idc

So its not worth going E85 until i go with bigger injectors?

Like I said you'll gain some power but will be out of injector in no time. I guess it depends on how much more power you want to make.

I would upgrade the injectors that way your not paying to tune it twice
