I think 12.9, but the tuner could tell you for sure. The 2.7 is direct and port injection. The 2.3 and 3.0 are DI only.
Hmm, ok, you really should know that. Most Dyno graphs I've worked with have that tracked below the main graph because it's important. Unless you are buying E85 in 5 or 55 gallon drums, the pump stuff can vary wildly in energy content throughout a year. Also E85 generally requires more fuel during cold starts. Though direct injection may help with that so it doesn't need so much.
Eh to a point. You can always add more timing and lean out factory fueling for power enrichment. With the coyote engines, you get the most power in N/A form from just the timing and fueling changes you can make for E85. Those cars will pick up 50+ hp to the tire with just an E tune. Nothing else. Sure adding a cold air intake and headers will help, but the majority of the extra power comes from adding octane and the timing changes that come with it.
Usually any of the Ford engines that have both DI and PI fuel systems on board are easily capable of doing full E with light mods. Now if you wanted to make say 600 to the tire with bigger turbos, you'd need a return fuel system with triple pumps and so on. But as it sits, its not a big surprise.
Oh and yes Im a data logger. I wouldnt almost drive my mustang without a log running. Any hiccup I would catch and be able to trim out. Once I had the car dialed, then I could relax on that and just enjoy it. But every rip at the drag strip, I had a log running. Thats invaluable data you wont ever get back if you miss it and something happens. I cant see that being something your common man would do obv, but if dialed in correctly from the jump then you wont have to worry about it. Plus you can test the E at the pump with the basic E testers from amazon and you will know if you need to go elsewhere or if that E is ok to use. Here in FL we see anywhere from E70 at the racetrac gas stations to E90 at the GATE station near my house. All the racecars go there to get E including me.
Same here. I haven't had a vehicle I logged regularly since 2006 but 2004-2006 I built up a motor and power system that more than doubled the factory hp and torque and I watched it closely. In fact, that's how I knew I needed more fuel and had planned a new fuel system, but life got in the way, and I sold the car, and the plans never happened. I could also see the variations in octane from tank to tank. At some times of the year it could be significant, particularly if you travel a longer distance to get to an event.
Unless it's a tuned 392 which is still NA. It mostly comes down to whose wallet is fatter which is definitely not me. I love threads like this. Thanks to all those pushing the envelope of the platform.
Thanks! Went with the CVF IC because of the price to performance. Much less expensive with similar specs. I made a video about it if you wanna check it out. Also, I went with the plugs based on what my tuner recommended. Same gap and plugs work fine with the Ford ProCal.
OMG! You're Full Speed Ford Bronco! Already subscribed for awhile. I've watched a bunch of your stuff (thanks) but didn't watch this latest video since I have no interest in E85 so didn't connect your 2 identities. I'll follow your lead on CVF intercooler and spark plugs. Thanks again and please keep up the great and informative content!
Haha, yeah that's me. Maybe I should change my name on here of come up with a better Youtube channel name to avoid confusion
