Here is my set up.
https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/semi-built-gsr-turbo-sc61-2778038/

i am thinking going e85 now that i see we have more pump in the area now. and its only $1.96 per gallon.

my question are from my set up
do i need to upgrade my fuel line? because i heard that you do and dont.
would i need a dual fuel pump?
do i just drain all my fuel and pump in e85 and take it to a tuner?
also if i take out my gas and put e85 in. will my car starts?

you need 50% more fuel volume pretty much , and that means you may or may not need to upgrade your supply side (pump, lines, injectors) depending on what your current setup is rated for ...

It won't start without a retune for E85 , no ... timing will be different and IDC will be about 50% higher at the same load points.

Check out the research I did for the E85 calculator

This is an older writeup, you no longer have to do things manually... in the calculator's advanced inputs tab, just choose E85 as your fuel instead of gasoline and it takes care of the rest...

Hope this helps...

Good luck

wow your running 1600cc injectors for only ~400hp?
You could easily run E85 on your setup now with no hardware changes.
Just add 30% more fuel to your entire fuel map, drive to tuner, make more power, win.

all you need is a walbro, big injectors, and a tune.

its about 30% more fuel for E85, and depending on how much he is shooting for hell need to look into Dual walbros, A1000, or a bosch pump

ralph11sec

for a 1600 with single wablro on b18, you can make around 500whp.

dual walbros around 650whp to 700whp.

thats alot of reading right there. i gotta talk to my tuner and see what he saids too.

Hawjap1gsr

are you sure my car will start if i do that. i dont want to do that at the pump and now be able to start my car even after adding 30% more fuel.

Hawjap1gsr

500 was my goal but now i am getting ready to built the head too. maybe making that power would be more easy with the built head.

Yes. The guy that said 50% is wrong. It's almost exactly 30% more fuel. Just load your Hondata, select all fuel cells, Ctrl J, +30% and your car will start. You may have to play with your cranking fuel trim and throttle tip in trim. My built b18 likes -55% in both

Are you talking a port and polish? That won't make much of a difference. vtec heads are well designed. If you want more power, you'll need to up the boost. 500 is about all you'll get out of a single walbro for more you'll need a second walbro or an inline 044

500 might even be a little much for a single walbro. Alot of the tuners around my area recommend going dual or a1000 past 420-450ish. not saying 500 couldnt be made on a single though.

E85B18

I made 489whp on a single walbro. My tuner didn't think we were pushing it... But a lot of people do say 450 is about the max

Hawjap1gsr

no i am not going to pnp it. just putting in supertech dual valve spring/retainer/valve, itr cams or maybe the pro 1 if i have enough money left. how high can i take the redline to with this set up? because my last built was on a stock gsr head and i could go pass 8k. now i am looking for a least 9 to 9.5k or rpm to play with. think this set up will work?

if i can reach 500 then 450 to 430 will be enough for a dd car.
