E85 on my 335i, first time

Mpowerrr · 07-11-2014, 05:43 PM

Last night I pumped 4 gallons of e85, approximately 25%.
I drove around for 10 minutes before really pushing it.
Holy shit!!! I just hope I don't get another speeding ticket lol.

So the mods that I currently have are
Jb4 g5iso.-map5
Dci
Exhaust delete
And I recently took off my DP for warranty but will be putting them back on soon.

On average, what can I expect with my current mods? Close to 400hp maybe?
I plan on doing a dyno sometime this month. W/e85 and with e85.

Any advise?
Thanks

I'd say just bellow 400, 390 range. I have the exact same mods just with the PE mod versus the muffler delete.

Are you on a stock charge pipe?

With or without dp?

4doorbmwpower · 07-11-2014, 08:21 PM

i had a pretty good impression the first time i filled up with some E85 also. I was working away from home and i was like ooooo look that gas station has E85. put it about 40% E85 and switched to map 5. it was AWESOME fastest my car had run at that time.

fastforward to now and im going to add vargas turbos and a wholllllle lottta other stuff, and get a new backend flash and then fill up with VP110 and 100% meth... should be interesting....

You should seriously consider getting an aftermarket one. Even under stock boost levels the CP is prone to crack/grenade. You can get a cheap one that will accept your factory DV, and when they leak, buy Forge DV's.

It might last awhile, I ran mine a few months at 16psi daily, and others have run much longer than that. Just my .02

They're backordered I believe. VRSF is your next cheap option. There's quite a few to pick from actually.

Pr335bob · 07-11-2014, 09:43 PM

So you have the stock fmic?

sirdaft1 · 07-12-2014, 12:23 AM

So you pumped in some e85 and ran it on map 5? That's all that's needed?

Tomorrow I will be putting the dp, but yes. That's pretty much what I did.
Im not going to do it everytime..just wanted to experiment until I get other supporting mods.

Yes.
Up to about a 40% mixture of e85 & 60% e93 is safe to run on stock fuel pumps

No different map required or anything? Just e85 and go?

your expecting way too much HP for having a fully stock car with only a DCI and JB4, even with e85 your no where near those numbers. Especially with our crappy stock intercooler. Maybe full bolt ons with e85 and the right tune will get you around 400ish, but u definitely need more mods than just a DCI.

4doorbmwpower · 07-12-2014, 01:19 PM

he is not expecting too much 924....

tons of people make power, its all about the tune. PRIME example of proven gains with lots of factory components is Terry at BMS he made 481whp on an E92 with just JB4, BB flash, BMS DP, BMS DCI, CPE BOV, CPE IC,. Factory catback system & midcats. $100 inline fuel pump.

unless his Charge pipe added horsepower and his FMIC and 100$ fuel pump are good for 80+ to the wheeels... yeah its perfectly possible....

dont spread bad gouge man, not with all the resources we have on this forum.

4doorbmwpower · 07-12-2014, 01:22 PM

a downpipe would deffinantly be the dealbreaker. I would look into it man. Thats whats going to make or break your goals.. they grow in HP adds the more HP your engine is making.

e92_enthusiast_1 · 07-12-2014, 01:40 PM

+1, its THE n54 bottleneck for sure. I'm close to 400hp on 91 gas but its with everything:

Catless DP
FMIC upgrade
DCI
cP-e metal charge pipe
Stg2 FMIC+ ST Sport Map

I'm off tomorrow so I will most likely put the DP back on early in the morning

e92_enthusiast_1 · 07-13-2014, 03:29 AM

Pretty sure to take full advantage of e85 you need a e30/e40 specific map. For me in AZ, I have to start using it for my 91 map because I'm getting some timing issues during shifting/low load cause the 91ACN gas we have isn't even good 91 gas.

I know for COBB it works that way but I know JB's have Map 5 auto tune? So it might be different there.
