This video quickly discusses the benefits of converting AND which fuel Injectors you'll want for your setup, whether it's a 2013 Mustang GT with just bolt-ons or a 2015 Mustang GT with a ported 2018 Mustang GT manifold.

What Is E85 & What Benefits Does It Have?

E85 is an ethanol-based fuel with some serious muscle and is readily available at gas stations nationwide. We're talking about a fuel blend that packs a punch, containing a whopping 51% to 83% ethanol. However, the main benefit of E85 lies in its skyrocketing octane rating. The octane level of E85 varies based on the ethanol content, but most E85 fuels come in with a thunderous octane rating of 100+. What does that mean? More timing, boost and ultimately, more mind-blowing horsepower for your beloved Mustang. Not only does E85 bring the power, but it also hits you right in the wallet with some savings. Typically, E85 comes at a lower cost than the regular premium fuel you find at the pump. That's a win-win situation – power and affordability in one badass package.

However, this fuel does come with its own drawbacks. This stuff burns fast. E85 demands about 30% more fuel compared to standard premium gasoline. So, make sure you're prepared to feed your Mustang's hunger if you decide to embrace the E85 life.

Converting Gen 1 Coyote (2011-2014 Mustang) To E85

If you're looking to convert your mighty 2011-2014 Coyote Mustang into an E85 beast, you'll need to make a few fuel system tweaks to ensure everything runs like a well-oiled machine. Trust us; it's all part of the ride.

First things first, you'll need to amp up your fuel injection game. We're talking a minimum of 47 lb. E85 fuel injectors, depending on the modifications you've made to your stallion. E85 fuel injectors are the key to delivering that sweet, ethanol-rich goodness to your engine.

Now, let's talk tunes. A custom tune is a must when diving into the E85 world. A tune will optimize your fuel delivery, ensuring your pony gets the right amount of E85 juice to unleash its full potential. No compromises here, my friends.

But don't worry about your factory fuel lines and pump. They've got your back, especially if you're rocking a naturally aspirated setup. These stock components have what it takes to handle the raw power of E85 without skipping a beat.

Converting Gen 2 Coyote (2015-2017 Mustang) To E85

When it comes to converting your mean 2015-2017 Coyote Mustang into an E85-fueled monster, it won't require as many modifications (depending on your vehicle). If you're rocking the factory intake manifold, you're in luck. 15-17 Mustang owners can run E85 on their stock fuel injectors without breaking a sweat. That means fewer mods, more time on the road and a smile on your face as that E85 flows through your engine. You will still need a custom tune to calibrate the PCM for fuel. Ensure you have a skilled tuner to work its magic and optimize your ride for the ultimate E85 experience.

However, if you own a 15-17 Mustang GT with an upgraded intake manifold, you'll require a minimum of 47lb. E85 injectors. Stock injectors just can't handle the fueling demands of the increased airflow that comes with that upgraded intake manifold.

Converting Gen 3 Coyote (2018-2020 Mustang) To E85

If you're considering turning your beastly 2018-2019 or 2020 Coyote Mustang into an E85 dominator, you'll be surprised to know that you can pretty much go without touching your fuel system. The Gen 3 Coyote engine is equipped with some serious direct injection mojo. It boasts 16 injectors, providing ample fuel delivery for your E85 adventures and any bolt-on upgrades you've got in mind. It's like having a full tank of confidence.

E85 + BOOST

At this point, you've got a basic understanding of what you will need for your Coyote to be able to run E85. But as you know, it doesn't end there. BOOST!

Yes, after you've maxed out your gains on E85, most people want to make the jump and add some sort of forced induction application to their car. So if you plan to change to E85 on your boosted Coyote, you WILL need a complete fuel system (click here to find out which works best for you!), including at least 1000cc E85 fuel injectors.
