I'm running 25lb injectors to give me the 30% extra fuel for E85 (stock are 19lb for the SPI), so at stock fuel pressure it runs like it would with stock injectors and regular gas. To switch to gas I pull the efi fuse while filling up to reset the ECU and drop the fuel pressure to 20psi. Runs a little rich on gas this way, but I only run gas when I'm traveling and spending most of my time cruising on the highway. Not perfect, but cheaper and easier than some kind of programmable EMS. On the Supra I will be doing something similar-680cc injectors, afpr, and SAFCII with a gas map and E85 map.

very nice setup, i like how you made use of E85, its not big around here, i think their may be a pump within like 20minutes of me

i always had a thing for escort wagons, but the big thing holding me back, is that its a Ford :D...but i have some experience playing with them, that my buddies had

I've always been a Toyota guy (also currently have an '87 4-Runner and '89 Supra), but I'm really impressed with the durability of these little Fords. My wife's Escort has 170k on it and has only had regular maintenance since new.

Supra had rod knock when I bought it, been slowly building a motor and collecting parts (big turbo etc.) as money allows.
