Default E85 Question?

hi have a 90 honda crx bone stock bottom end and the head is stock but with ctr springs retainers and cams im currently running 11 pounds of boost on aem ems, dsm 450cc, 7lb pound fly wheel, skunk2 intake manifold, on a t3/t4 50/57 trim turbo? i know i have to get bigger injectors and i already have the 255 walbro so this is my question?

if i switch to e85 and get low impedance precision 880cc injectors will it be possible to hit around or hit 350hp? and is the 880cc plenty big enough to support my goal?

Your setup the way it is plus the 880s would be great for your E85 goals.

hammeredgsr u don't have to upgrade lines from what everyone on here has informed me just need bigger injectors and bigger fuel pump and a good tuner


that's good to know i believe im at around 275 to almost 300whp now just wanted to use e85 to push for a little bit more and maybe instead of 11 pounds run 14 just upgrading head studs on the engine its self.
i was going to build a engine this year but new years eve found out i was going to be a father so that strapped me to do something for a little more then spending 2 grand on a build

no upgraded lines are needed at all however the bigger injectors are, and you already have a 255l in the tank so your pretty good ads far as the power well tat will depend on the tuner

Why go with 880s over 1000s?

A set of 880cc injectors should be fine until 450whp or so....you're fine with them. I have a set of 1000's in my GSR and am not making nearly enough power to justify them; however, they run and idle just fine. It would be worth the upgrade just to have some peace of mind

Right. The 1000s are overkill for now but like you say they run and idle fine, just like the 880s. Being they're the same price, they leave you more room to grow if you want to upgrade later
