What You Will Need
- Buschur Racing E85 Fuel System Kit
- Basic hand tools (wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers)
- Fuel line cutter
- Safety goggles and gloves
- Fuel pressure gauge
- Shop towels
Step 1: Preparing Your Vehicle
Before starting the installation, ensure your vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool. Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues.
Step 2: Removing the Stock Fuel System
Begin by relieving the fuel pressure in the system. Locate the fuel pump fuse and remove it while starting the engine until it stalls. Once the pressure is relieved, proceed to disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel rail and the fuel tank.
Next, remove the stock fuel pump and fuel filter. You may need to access these components from underneath the vehicle or through the trunk, depending on your DSM model.
Step 3: Installing the Buschur Racing E85 Fuel System
With the stock components removed, it’s time to install the Buschur Racing E85 Fuel System. Start by mounting the new fuel pump and filter in the designated locations. Ensure all fittings are tightened securely to prevent leaks.
Next, connect the new fuel lines to the fuel rail and the fuel tank. Use the fuel line cutter to ensure clean cuts and proper fittings. Double-check that all connections are secure.
Step 4: Upgrading the Fuel Management System
To fully utilize the E85 fuel system, you will need to upgrade your fuel management system. This may include reprogramming your ECU or using an aftermarket tuning solution. Consult with a professional tuner to ensure optimal performance.
Step 5: Testing the System
Once everything is installed, reconnect the battery and turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine. This will prime the fuel system. Check for any leaks at the connections and ensure the fuel pressure gauge reads within the specified range.
