Best bet would be to contact Steve Ripa. I'm sure he has the proper size available.
well I'll be damn someone is running the same set up......that also the belt I have so when I install the sleeve maybe everything will be good. I buy it used and hasnt come yet just trying have some idea what to expect. Thanks
I am currently installing the 2.85 and ripa lower FIC1000 injectors with tune of course.
You should see about 15-16psi. The 93 octane should be fine. If you wanna do E85, you might want to consider a dual fuel pump & FIC1200 or ID1300 injectors. Your setup now should be fine though. If you are interested in doing E85, I have a set of ID1300’s that I’ll be putting up for sale soon.
I am 16ft above sea level here in Jacksonville Florida 93 octane E85 is pretty much available everywhere I am not really ready to step up to E85 yet, baby steps, will probably throw on a BAP for same added insurance. Thank you for your guidance.
Isn’t 16-17psi the limit of 93 octane?? I feel like I might have to increase my pulley size to a 2.95.
You are right, there is a lot of false information on the internet, is there a safety programmed into the tune to bleed off boost, just asking?
In looking over one of your logs your injector duty cycle is hitting 85%, at 90% the PCM will open the bypass valve to bleed boost. Be VERY careful with boost over 17 psi on 93. You logs also show STKR and the tune looks like it can reach 14 degrees if timing. 14 degrees of timing and 17+ lbs of boost = detonation on 93 no doubt. The VP Octanium Unleaded will get your octane up high enough for 14+17-18 but continued and constant use of it at the level needed, 1 Qt in 15 gallons is going to do a number on your exhaust valves and seats. I know from 2 years of doing such what it nets. If E85 is right close to you get on it ASAP before you hurt your engine to where it has to come out for repair. It only takes one bad detonation event to ruin ring sealing then increasing blow by compounds itself afterwards to a catostophic event.
Be careful running any octane boosters, it wreaks havoc on exhaust valves and the spark plugs really fast.
Mike I do have e-85 close to me and would run e-85 but I would have to change out the Injectors correct?And I'm going to e-85 I would need to be tuned for it.
Yes, from the logs on gasoline your injectors look too small for E85. You need ID1050’s or FIC1200’s minimum and a dual 285 fuel pump set up. You mention gong for a tune in near future already, mine as well spend the money only once and tune it for E85, especially at the boost level you want to make. A 2.85 at sea level is already close to max for pump gas before even adding any kind of overdrive lower pulley.
