Hi mate.

 

Not sure if it will help but there is a link at the bottom of my sig to cheapest petrol.

might be a stupid question, but can the 300zx TT run on Ethanol E85?

yes, but it will kill the injectors after a while.

Apparently this has something to do with a chemical reaction that causes the fuel to corrode/react with the injectors, since the injectors on a 300ZX are always powered by 12V (even when the car is not running)

 

 

It's good fuel though...higher octane then regulare fuel

 

> not without MUCH bigger injectors and a full re-map

 

that's only needed with full ethanol blends.

ethanol has a 9:1 stoich, while regular fuel has a 14.7:1

you will still need a remap, read Dave Walkers write up on it. you need to run a lot more fuel to get to stoich than you will with petrol. sure ethanol has a 9:1 stoich but E85 is a ethanol petrol blend.

 

its recommended that you use pickled anodised tanks fuel lines etc as the ethanol has O2 in at a molecular level and therefor can cause corrosion in a steel or un pickled alloy tank.

 

the reason that most of the E85 pumps are locked off is because it wont run on any cars without modification.

 

i dont see what problems you can percieve with the injectors, all injectors use a live feed and are pulled down to earth by the ECU.
