Flex-Fuel Turbo System Upgrade - What Would You Recommend?

Hey 8Club!

Curious what would be required for a turbo Renesis running flex fuel (approx E50-55) that is primarily used on-track only. Original engine is running strong with just under 60k. Will be using Brett's manifold with the G30-660 and 1.01A/R T3, most likely supported by an Adaptronic ecu. Plan is to add a few sensors, etc for monitoring / tuning, etc plus some shielding for temps.

From what I've gathered so far, it would be ideal to upgrade the primaries to 1050 and secondaries to 1700 along with a 460lph pump (at min, prob go with 535lph) with fuel pressure regulator and -6 micron filter. Most likely will use Injector Dynamics in interest of compatibility / simplicity. Their products appear to be very high quality.

Greatly appreciate any help. Still on the road, update coming soon, back in CA mid-Oct.

Thanks for reading!

even accounting for boost pressure and siphon bypass flow, the proposed pea shooter won't need any where near that much fuel flow even on full E85, let alone E-half&half.

Haha, got it.

Ok, 2nd thought. How about running the oem s2 yellow injectors in primary and x4 1050's for everything else?

That would do the trick nicely . Yellows are from S1 ......... maybe lash out on some Greens or even Browns from an S2 for the p1 injectors.
