I had just researched E85 had up grade your fuel system. Many people have said that you would need two pumps and bigger injectors. Then I read something stating that you have to use an oil that is compatible to e85, for oil contamination. I just wanted to know what are your guys out look about this.

set up so far
block
b18a1 darton dry sleeves stock bore
mahle pistons 10.5:1
eagle rods
stock crank
gsr gridle, oil pump, water pump, with arp main studs, rod studs

Head
b16 stock
supertech valves, spring, retainer, guides
b16 cam
unorthdox cam gears
id 1000cc injectors
arp head studs
blox intake manifold
68mm s2 throttle body

turbo
holset hx35w
custom ramhorn exhaust manifold.

and all of this is going in a 90 da integra. But that is just what I have if I need anything else let me know. So forgot the most important part p28/hondata s300 ecu.

 

i've been using e85 for 1 and 1/2 year. no problems what so ever rc1200, walbro fuel pump 18 psi boost daily. LS/Vtec

 

you'll be fine

 

what kind of oil are you using.

Here's a thread of someone who did oil analysis on his E85 Evo with multiple samples. Results start around page 3, but looks good:

And some good info here as well:

The reading were really good. I thought that there would be a major difference by running E85 that you have to change your oil more often.

 

do you guys have any issues with your sending units running e85? or any other components for that matter

 

You do have to do more frequent oil changes because ethanol turns the oil into sludge.

I rather spend the money on real gas!!! Corn is for food!!!

 

 

 

^^^ LoL

E85 is a good fuel.
Invest in a good fuel tester, so that you have a ballpark figure on the ethanol content when you fill up at the pump. You don't want any surprises there.
I've been using E85 for a little over 3 years on both AM and FI set-ups. I love the fuel. I just paid $2.66 per gallon two days ago here in NY .

I didn't see a fuel pump on your build. Which one are you going to use?
Those ID1000's will limit you to about 500HP with a single in-tank pump.
