So I have been contemplating ways to take advantage of E85 and its ability to run more timing and make more power without losing the convenience of petrol with its availability and fuel efficiency. I did the math and even though E85 is considerably less expensive than premium, if you truly lose 30% efficiency with it, you end up spending more on the E85.
So here's my idea and I am sure there is more than one way to potential do it; setup a second small fuel tank and pump and use it for E85. Then to use it, either find a way with a window-switch like used with nos or use performance-shift to engage it.
I heard that some of the GM truck guys use the Tow/Haul mode and dual injectors to do the same basic thing.
The tricky think for us would be the fuel delivery. When using dual injectors, usually one injector is setup well and the other one just squirts off to the side. So my idea is to get around that is to run one set of bigger injectors and tap into the fuel rails and have the 2 fuel pumps run at different rates.
So here's an article I found when trying to find info about the basic idea:
Ethanol-Injection Systems Explained - Tech Dept. - Car and Driver
I understand that there's probably a bunch of aspects to it I haven't considered; at this point it's all hypothetical, but it would be unique.
I also know that I'll probably get somebody to tell me to just run meth injection, but I don't want to deal with potential damage to the coating of my gen 3, and it also wouldn't provide nearly as much advantage as running E85.
