[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 10240487, member: 15703"] The entire fuel system will need to be replaced. You're basically seting up the car up to run on alcohol. This means all your hard and soft lines as well as the plastic fuel injectors need to be replaced. second, the gravity of E85 is significantly different then petroleum based gasoline. Where 14:1 is stoich with gasoline, you're looking at closer to 8-9:1 effective stoich for E85. You'll have to tune for this. Given the costs involved with replacing the fuel system, tuning the computer and probably a host of small items I'm not even thinking about, but always present themselves, it's probably more cost effective to purchase a drum of race fuel.
