RedRocket260z Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 hi, i have a bosch 044 brand new, and i am looking into building an e85 injection kit(instead of watermethanol kit due to availability and cost of e85). i plan on running a bosch style e85 compatible injector, and the bosch 044. does anyone know if this pump is e85 compatible?

The Bosch 044 pump is both methanol and ethanol tolerant, I use two of these pumps in the secondary E85 fuel system. You might want to add Klotz Uplon as it will keep the corrosive effects of all types of alcohol in check. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2071134/8 http://www.klotzlube.com/storeProdDetails.asp?pi=20 The E85 is not capable of removing as much heat from the intake charge as methanol, but is superior to gasoline.

RedRocket260z Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 let me ask you, do you run e85 all the time, or just when you come into boost? i have been trying to get some info, but cant find any. i want to run pump gas on low boost, then have a small seperate fuel cell for e85 or race fuel. so when i hit high boost it will inject race fuel or e85, kind of like meth kits, but e85. cuz i can get it from a gas station close to my house and its cheap.

The E85 is injected only when boost is present, but my setup uses 100% E85 when on boost and 87 oct. during normal driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
