Yeah. From what I am aware of, there isn't much really needed to support e85. Obviously a tune. I'll more than likely have to swap my Fuel Pump for something else - probably the Bosch 044 (I think that's the model), and then I'm probably going to need bigger injectors. Unless I pick up a Hahn "Portfueler" Manifold, or what its called with the extra row of injectors.

Wut?
Current mods are a 50trim Turbo w/ 60# inj.
When I get home, it'll be a 54 to 60trim DBB Turbo w/ 80# inj.
sorry about that last one retarded post I was on my blackberry and I wasnt paying attention and having a conversation with the fiance lol but ya I was just wondering what mods you are currently running and if you had forged internals. Anyways keep us posted with your results

no hes gonna just put it in his gas tank and hope for the best then hes trying deisel made from fryer grease next...
how .net of you, I dont think it is an unreasonable question to ask if his system (ie fuel system) would support it because I didnt think the stock fuel pump would support more then 60lb injectors...

Yeah... the stock fuel pump doesn't seem to support more than 350whp or so on a Supercharged car.
But Injectors seem to go further on a Turbo car for some reason, so I'd assume that the same might be true of the pump. Iono, we'll see. I was thinking about switching to a Return Style system... we'll see. Time will tell. More specifically, it all depends on how long I am in Iraq, and how much longer I stay on Active Duty... because that is a huge source of extra income for me. Once I'm done here... extra income goes bye-bye.

I've heard mixed reports. In some cases it has been able to dyno higher numbers... and in others not as high of numbers.
I think it just depends on the set-up and the tuner, I would assume.
