Yea on e85. These injectors can be ran at crazy high base pressure. I'd personally rather not push them like that but it can and has been done. I'll be going id1700s when I sell my kit.

Assuming you have enough pump. I think that is a lot of peoples problems. If fuel pressure drops off, then all bets are off. If you can hold 60-80psi, then no problems. A lot of people 1/2 *** a fuel system, so they make up for in oversized injectors and ramp them up to make up for dropping fuel pressure.
Gotcha. For some reason I was thinking 1rwhp per cc on gasoline, so would need about 30% more on E85 obviously. I'm even more overkill on injectors than I thought then.

You're probably right.. that's a lot of fuel to move at 60-80psi

I saw where ID1000's are good to over 100psi of fuel pressure Crazy.

Speaking of which.. I wonder when ID is going to release their brushless fuel pump. I saw something on facebook about it a few weeks ago

I saw something about that close to a year ago then haven't heard anything since you just mentioned it. Wonder what they're gonna flow and cost? Since I'm going fuel cell I'll be needing new pumps, etc

Yeah, I'm sure it won't be cheap, probably comes with a controller. Seems like I saw some flow #'s somewhere and they were pretty ridiculous

There's no telling.. seems like Paul Yaw is always posting about something new. Suspension parts, fuel pumps, bosch ECU, spark plug w/cylinder pressure sensor, etc. but so far no new products that I know of.

Figure it this way, 43psi to 60psi is almost a 30% increase, so just setting the base FP up would make the difference between gas and e85.

No it's not 1:1 like that. A 1000 cc injector @ 43.5# flows 1155 cc @ 58#.

My bad. Either way you can get a lot of extra flow with pressure.

Where's a good place to pickup the ID 1300 injectors? Also wondering how I can tell if both my existing fuel pumps will handle e85? Guess I also need to know if the fuel lines can run it? Thanks.

Was reading somewhere that 1300's are back ordered forever. I guess someone must have some in stock.


Oh. And ID has a flow calculator on the site that has been dead on every setup I tested it with.

@schpenxel I can't find you message but you were saying they had some problems causing them to go on back order, it was actually the 1700s https://m.facebook.com/notes/paul-ya...6328148185338/

They only had 36 total failures, it's not like it was a fast intake

Yeah, that's why I deleted it.. I thought it was 1300's but it was 1700's so I figured it better to just delete the wrong info
