Default 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?

I’d guess you’d be able to make around 440whp with 750cc injectors on E85.

750cc Injectors are go for about 440whp @ 90%idc on E85

Pump will run out at 390whp on e85 even with a return system

These are just ballpark numbers.....

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

PTE 1200s are cheap and super easy to tune. i ran those for years before going to ID2000s.

I agree. 1000cc injectors or those PTE 1200's would be your best option.
