What to expect with E85

moldysack · 04-16-2015, 08:06 PM

Greetings all,

I have a question, How much can I expect to gain with catless AR dps, BMW PE exhaust, DCI (moved to stock airbox), Wedge/Baraq Cobb E85 tune. I also have MMP intakes on order and will not be installed until next month. I am getting my Walbro 455 installed and have my tune waiting, Can this pump run full e85? What kind of gains will I see and whats a possible HP/TQ estimate? This is also my first time using the corn syrup, is there anything I need to watch out for?

450whp/500wtq..

I could hit u on the Group me chat but here u go. No need for straight E85, E60/65 is plenty on the tune your getting and yes, the Walbro should be more than capable. Your logs will let you know how your LPFP is responding. It depends on how aggressive D is making it. If you have a baseline dyno with pump and the same mods I would expect at least a 25whp/50wtq jump. I got a 25whp/55wtq increase just switching to my BQ tune from a JB4/E85 flash everything else being equal.

Did you buy steve kit or are you putting one in yourself?

The creator of the inlets did do a test with the inlets....stock turbo record I believe we're the results.

Roger that. Thanks

moldysack · 04-17-2015, 10:54 AM

Guess I need level ten money for one of those too lol. Could gut a full turbo upgrade for less.

Expect a lot more power. It is similar to the power difference you get when going from stock to a tuned car. It just feels like a different animal.

n54gte · 04-17-2015, 01:34 PM

more torque which you'll definately feel.
