E85 Injector size?!?
03 350z
Vortech V2 supercharger
2.87 pulley 11psi
Cams
clutch
255 walbro fuel pump
HHKS exhaust
RC 750cc injectors
tuned on upRev
Tuned on 91 octane, would like to switch to E85. My question is do i need bigger injectors to make the switch or will my 750's be okay?

You will need a considerably larger fuel pump and with my results on a supercharger 750cc injectors won't be enough for your power goals. Superchargers eat fuel like crazy.
I've been running e85 for a few years now. When switching fuels the standard "40% more fuel" does not apply under boost. My boost map required 70-80% increase in fuel most areas. My vac map was 20-40% increase though. So under boost/power you will need way more than just 40% overhead. I found this out the hard way.
You can up your fuel pressure to help but it looks like you do'nt have a return system. Without a return system increasing pressure with boost those 750's will act more like 600's at 11psi so you won't even get a full 750cc out of them.

Thanks for the replies, I'd REALLLY like to get 500rwhp out of it, so to do that I would need a bigger fuel pump, bigger injectors, and a fuel return set up? Would 1000cc's be big enough or should i go up to 1200 etc etc
