What Injectors Do I Need For E85 Mustang Gt?
You will be required to run a minimum of a 47lb fuel injector depending on your modifications. You will also be required to have a custom tune to support the E-85 and its needed fuel delivery.
What do I need to run E85 in my Mustang GT?
15-17 owners can run E-85 on the factory fuel injectors as long as they run the factory intake manifold. You will still need a custom tune to calibrate the PCM for the needed fuel. However, if you own a 15-17 mustang GT with an upgraded intake manifold, you will require a minimum of a 47lb injector.
Do you need special injectors for E85?
It’s necessary to have such large injectors when using E85, because you must plan for about 30 percent more fuel, due to E85’s lower energy. This also means larger fuel pumps are required to provide the volume needed.
What size fuel injectors do you need to run E85?
E85 will require about 30% more fuel than regular gasoline to achieve the same power levels. For example, where a 550cc injector would normally be appropriate, you will need a 700cc injector for E85.
Can you use stock injectors for E85?
You do not need to upgrade your injectors, the stock ones(18+) are fine for e85. Daily drivers on e85 are just as reliable as long as you’re using quality e85. (just like 91/93 really) You can either switch back to 91/93 occasionally or run an e85 additive that does the same thing.
Can I run E85 on stock injectors Mustang GT?

Can you run E85 without a tune Mustang GT?
Absolutely do NOT do that. You need a tune to both safely fuel the engine AND to take advantage of the potential provided by the corn.
Do you lose horsepower with E85?
E85 fuel has a faster ignition time and flame propagation when compared to gasoline. This leads to higher cylinder pressure, as well as increased engine torque and power, gaining up to 20%.
What do you need to run full E85?
All you need is an upgraded LPFP (I use a Walbro 450) and a custom tune. E85 won’t save you money; it’s less than 91 but does not last as long. You also will be paying to upgrade the fuel system to support E85.

Flow Rate Definition, Calculating Horsepower Range
| Injector Flow Rate | Naturally Aspirated Engine | Engine w/ Power Adder |
|---|---|---|
| 24 lbs./hr. | 280-360 hp | 240-300 hp |
| 30 lbs./hr. | 350-450 hp | 300-375 hp |
| 36 lbs./hr. | 425-540 hp | 350-450 hp |
| 42 lbs./hr. | 500-625 hp | 410-525 hp |
Is E85 faster than 93?
The drop in fuel economy is because ethanol has lower energy content per gallon than gasoline. E85 also burns faster than regular gasoline because it vaporizes faster. So your engine may eat through E85 faster than regular gasoline.
Is it cheaper to run E85 or 93?
E85 Costs Less Than Regular Gasoline
It also costs less money in the long run. It’s true that E85 may lower your MPG (but not always). Yet, even if you see a 25% reduction in your vehicle’s MPG, you’ll still save money with E85.
What spark plugs should I run with E85?
E85 fuel is composed of 85 percent alcohol, which burns cooler than gasoline. For that reason, you need spark plugs with a lower heat range designed to run with a cooler engine. We recommend only buying OEM spark plugs (with the exception of copper plugs) if you’re running on E85 fuel.
Is converting to E85 illegal?
Alternative Fuel and Hybrid Electric Vehicle Retrofit Regulations. Converting a vehicle to operate on an alternative fuel in lieu of the original gasoline or diesel fuel is prohibited unless the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has evaluated and certified the retrofit system.
What are the disadvantages of using E85?
E85 CON’S
- It’s potentially damaging. E85 is not corrosive in nature, but does attract moisture; and water is bad news for engines.
- It can be costly to retrofit. Vehicles produced before 1987 are not E85 compatible.
- Not quite environmentally friendly.
- Not as efficient.
- Bad in cold weather.
Is the Coyote 5.0 a flex fuel?
The patented ProFlex™ Commander adaptive flex fuel system for 2011-17 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 allows you to start making more power and running cooler with E85. True plug and play flex-fuel for your Coyote 5.0 in about an hour with no tuning required.
Do bigger fuel injectors increase HP?
Yes, Fuel Injectors Can Improve Horsepower
The answer to the question, “Can new fuel injectors help improve horsepower?” is yes. At their peak, fuel injectors can add 10 extra horsepower to a vehicle. By creating a larger flow rate of air, fuel injectors can make a measurable, yet not massive difference.
Using any octane level of gasoline in a flex-fuel vehicle is acceptable. The sensors in an FFV detect whether the fuel is pure gasoline or 85% ethanol and make necessary changes for optimal fuel injection and timing of combustion. Putting E85 in a car not designed for flexible fuel can be harmful.
Will E85 hurt a regular engine?
Continually filling a standard gasoline car with this high-ethanol fuel can result in serious fuel system corrosion. Plus, when you accidentally put E85 fuel in a car, it may void your engine warranty. That means you could be on the hook for the repairs, even if your car is brand new.
How much HP does E85 Add to Mustang?
In boosted applications, E85 can add about 10% HP over racing fuels. Modifications are necessary to achieve this. The gains in non-boosted vehicles is minimal.
