ls v tech turbo e85 setup
Hey everyone, I am new to this site and im trying to figure out what mods to put on my 99 civic so that I don't have a lot of issues. As of right now I am waiting for my motor to return from the machine shop. My block is a b18a1 sleeved with forged internals (fully built block) and I have some blox racing springs in my si head. I have the walbro fuel pump, blox cast iron manifold, real tial 38mm wastegate, nsx manual boost controller, 58 trim comp turbo and I might be missing something else. I still need to order fuel injectors and a map sensor because im planning on running 15psi. My question is does anyone have any suggestions on which fuel injectors are good that I should buy as well as do I need anything else besides the injectors to reliably run e85?

How much power are you legitimately expecting out of your setup? Be realistic, and don't lie to yourself - you'll only end up spending more money than you need to.
Use this tool to find a base size, then multiply the number they give you by 1.47 to find out what size injectors you need to use. Be careful picking out your injectors - different injectors are made to flow at different fuel pressures.

I used the walbro 255lph and it wasn't enough for me...

255 won't supply enough fuel at the maximum fuel pressure you'll end up running (base fuel pressure + however many psi you run = maximum fuel pressure)
You need more pump
You need more pump

Yup, I have a 255 and a Bosch pump under the hood. Everything was basically maxed out when it made 549(?)hp/430 ftlbs. Had to dial it back to 19 pounds of boost.
