My e85 impressions on this T25 externally wastegated! Two thumbs up!
So I pulled my motor back out one more time three days ago to fix all the leaks before I started actually pushing it. Well yesterday I got everything back together and taken care of. My number one and only priority for that day was going to pick up some e85 and tuning the car for it!

I had been driving around on 7lbs and wanted to see if I could physically feel a difference from just tuning the car. Well HELL YEAH there was a difference! Once I added hella fuel to my tune and got it right. The difference was crazy! Like night at day. The car runs so much stronger and smoother at the same boost. I was actaully shocked! I thought it would be a small difference. But its actually noticeable difference for sure!

Im running strait up e85 now with a full tank. So Ill pussy foot it around to see what my gas mileage is out of a tank. But e85 is .50 cent cheaper here. So if I even out money wise ill be happy.

Ive got 750cc rc's. I may upgrade to some 96lbers if I ever get the desire to wire in the resistor and get money to buy them. I had to add a good ammount of fuel over my gasoline tune. But you could run a gas e85 mix. Mine is a tank full of e85.

u might be alright on 370's.

ive seen ve's run on e85 poorly but, ok so dont use that example, but it does run.

i did 280whp on 370's, so you can deff get away with it up until a point. 370cc inj are only good to about 290whp or so and then they are at full duty cycle.

Rule of thumb is that you'll need almost double the injector for e85 that you currently use for regular fuel if you expect to get some huge power gains. You'll need to add a ton of fuel as the OP has to see/feel the difference.

For a given tune, to convert it and get it running on e85, generally you need about 30ish% more fuel. But if you need new injectors you might aswell take the gains into account annd double the injector size.

Im over 75% duty cycle with 740cc@4bar at only 285whp...
