I have a 94 Accord Coupe and I want to take it from gasoline to E-85. Other than changing my injectors and ignition system, what all do I need to do to make my Accord run on E-85?

 

something to tune the car with. e85 typically requires 30% more fuel.

why do you want to switch?

 

fuel pump to push that extra volume of fuel required to meet a/f requirements.

Probably help to have a a/f wideband to keep an eye on the a/f ratio.

 

if you do not know what you are talking about please dont post.

 

If you are wondering whether you really need to change anything as far as the fuel lines and whatnot, you really don't. There are quite a few people on here running the stock stuff with no issues.

You may hear some people say they've had problems, but from what I've gathered most of them seem to be more from bad luck or other issues. Check out the Forced Induction forum for more info.

Of course they typically have bigger injectors and an upgraded fuel pump setup because most of them run E-85 for their turbo setups. What kind of setup is this going on?

 

G22 turbo set up. Ive already got a 95 gph fuel pump, afc v-afc, Drag cell, and i'm look for sum 1000 injectors. So other than that I have no clue...

 

As I said, you can go ahead and browse the Forced Induction forum for more info, but here is the best start:

I heard it really corrodes your fuel components; thus, why some ppl start having problems with their car after converting to E85 is what I heard; don't quote that on me.

 

That is, as the facts stand now, a myth. If anyone here has someone tell them that E85 corroded their fuel lines, injectors, etc., I would question them on what facts they have to prove that it was SPECIFICALLY the E85.

As I said before, there are quite a few people on H-tech running stock fuel systems with no issues. The only things you should REALLY think about upgrading are the injectors, fuel pump, and the fuel filter (stainless-type).

For anyone who may have more questions, or just is curious about E-85, read the link I posted above. There are some facts that may surprise you (for best results read/skim the WHOLE thing... I know, its hard, but there is good info throughout).

Also, you can take a look through this thread if you are wondering about testing fuel system parts for corrosion:

@ Bwill9886, Thanx for the info man.

 

Why are you wanting to covert to E85? I read that in drag racing its worth 5% to 8% on a naturally aspirated setup.

As for conversion all rubber need to be replaced. E85 will dissolve regular rubber.

 

Well the OP is piecing together a turbo setup, as you can read above.

It has been noted in testing that E85 does alter the properties of certain rubbers/seals in a negative way.

Here are the results of one such test:

However, as I stated before, many people in the drag racing and forced induction world have been running it in their stock fuel system for a while with no ill effects.

So take what you will from that.
