  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Has anybody done an FI E85 conversion

There are several new 105 octane E85 pumps in my area now, and I'm wondering if anybody is running E85 in their injected Husky. If so, what needed to be changed? Is there enough fuel flow through the stock pump/hoses and/or adjustment in the stock injection?

BTW, the 105 octane E85 is 50 cents less than the crappy 91 octane we get here in CA.
 
its a great idea, but the amount of e85 needed would make the bike into a short range bike. it would also be lacking in the power department. im prety sure the injecters would need swopped out and a new fi map would have to be created.
im planing on makeing a street bike motor run off e85 but with a turbo to make up for the loss of power. it would be in a mini sand rail.
 
there is a 30% power loss from 91 pump gas to e85. regardless of how it feels, its just chemistry nothing we can do about it. also it will use 1.7 times the fuel ruffly. if you use a turbo and boost the hell out of your bike its totally worth it. if you bump up the compression it may be worth it as well. most people think that octain equals power which is actually incorrect. a high octain fuel actually burns slower and cooler than a low octain fuel and has less energy but you can obtain more power by using this quality. which is why high octain fuel works so well in high compression high heat motors, and thats why race bikes/cars use high octain race fuels.
hopefully this helps. im sure there are people out there that know a lot more about these fuels than i do. i just wish i could get a diesel powered husky!!!
