Trying something a little different, we go from start to finish on an E85 sensor, injectors, and tuning with a 2008 G8 GT. Follow us along as we get this G8 on the corn with a G8only E85 kit!
E85 is a great addition. I have a 2009 G8 GT, with a Magnuson 2300 Supercharger, 1050 Bosch Injector Dynamics fuel injectors and an E85 sensor. I also put in a corrosion resistant fuel line with dual fuel pumps. It has a high performance cam and long tube headers. It was dyno tuned and puts out 585 hp at 6300 rpm and 565 ft.lbs. of torque. It's a beast. I notice a difference between E85 and 93 octane. I can certainly tell the E85 makes more power. Enjoy your G8!
I have an 09 g8 gt and when I say this has to be the best g8 video I have seen on RU-vid.. I’ve been terrified of the wiring and a million people explain it a million different ways on the forums, but this video is in depth, explained to the point where I can actually do this install myself at home step for step!! Thank you 🙏🏾 #subscribed #bellhit
Just adding fuel isnt what cools the combustion chamber, its the Alcohol in E-85 that cools it. And yes you can run far more ignition, mostly due to cooler EG temps but higher octane is a beautiful thing. I remember some years back when they statted bumping back the amount of Alcohol one could use in Indy and everyone had to detune the rngine fairly drastically which if i remember correctly was the idea behind the move. It did cost a few engines tho
Good informative video. Thanks you been thinking about doing this mod. Getting the tuning done is a pain in my area. The few that may be able to do it act like they don’t want to work and is why I don’t want them to touch my car. The same reason my G8 is not supercharged right now.
@@nufnuffz28well I have purchased the parts to install for E85. G8 only flex fuel, 1200cc injectors and a boost a pump. I did purchase the Walbro 450 you suggested but decided to not chop up my bucket and such on fuel pump I decided to try the BAP. What is the process and charge for remote tune if you are willing please?
Damn I just saw 4 G8. Good g8 squad what’s the radiator line that runs next to the headlight and air intake ? It curves like a u mines snapped in half in the lower engine bank I can’t find this part
I have a question man what part # are the injectors? Or what year cts v are they off of? I’m about to do this to my G8. Thank you man and love the content!!
Thank you! It has Pacesetter Headers and solo exhaust, mid-muffler, and solo J pipes. Check out her review video on all the details and some ride along videos of it!
Yes. This seems to be the upper limit of what they can supply fuel for. Above this HP amount we swap in a 450 pump and have been at 560 RWHP on that without issue on E85 (Also had one dyno at 620 with a single 450 pump, but was a manual car)
@@nufnuffz28 thanks I’m caming my g8 with a blp shots fired cam and wanted to also put it on corn. So basically I need zl1 or v2 injectors and the e85 sensor kit?
When you added fuel did you only adjust the alcohol PE table? Did you adjust any other fuel tables? Were the factory open loop alcohol tables good enough for a cold start? Thanks
That's great! Everyone keeps telling me I need a Zl1 fuel pump upgrade. I'm unsure why they say this when you have done it. I do have heads/intake too though. How do I contact you for remote tuning. I'm from Australia.
I like itvon every car. Gas prices and the extra power are worth it. If stock cam you can probably just add the sensor and a tune! You will need injectors if you cam it.
