Default How to install the ethanol e85 kit on my 2004 Subaru Forester

Hi,

In order to save some money on fuel, I'm planing to install the ethanol e85 kit on my 2004 Subaru Forester and run it on ethanol.
I want to purchase the e85 ethanol kit from this French manufacturer: ecofuelbox.com but I want to be sure which type of connectors should I order.

Can someone tell me what type of injector connectors I need ?


Regards,
david

Hi David

You shouldn't need anything like this kit from ecofuelbox or how they're called

Subaru can run without the such kit,you will need just big enough injectors and 255LPH fuel pump,but if you are still thinking to run OE spec turbo etc.,then I would stick what you have and get car mapped on E85 via EcuTek or via Carberry ROM(Open Source) and I would strongly recommend US based forums like is Nasioc or Subaru Forester forum

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2303578

And bit of advice,keep eye on oil levels as many people reported,with E85 oil levels can drop and you will need oil change bit frequently,but you will see,speak with yours nearest Subaru specialist what he recommends,but my recommendation stay away from those boxes!!!

Thanks,Jura

Pretty much as above. I used to run e85 here in uk. Its no longer available here. An ecu that can run twin maps is the best option imo. If you map just for e85 then your stuck using it all the time
