Just drive to db with no under a 1/4, bring some e85 in a container and have shane put the injectors in.

If you have a reflash cable, I can send you a basemap to get you up and running.

This. Then make sure you run a few tanks through the car before the tune and you'll be good to go :D

I say get PTE 1000's if you plan on staying on the stock turbo, or FIC1250's if you ever plan on upgrading. There are quite a few people running E85 for years on end around here with great results. Just stay on top of the tune, scout out E85 locations near you, and consider the change in seasons, you'll be good to go.

Well, I plan on upgrading to Evo 9 turbo sooner or later. When I get back from Florida, I am going to do timing belt and I have GSC S1 cams so maybe I should get a reflash cable, throw some new injectors in and get it decent before I bring it there?

PTE injectors a good injector? I noticed in the "modding your evo 100$ at a time" thread, you guys mentioned FIC being a good fit?

With the stock turbo why not run a bit smaller like the 850's?

I personally like FIC injectors; they're reasonably priced and have never given me any problems.

850s running E85 on my dyno will be maxed around 340awhp.

Most of the E85 cars I tune either have the PTE 1000s or the FIC 1250s.

Ahh ok, looking at my IDC's on pump gas I would have figured they had more in them.

Does e85 need a lot of tuning and screwing with? I think I might pick up a tactrix cable later tonight.

What is this Tactrix OpenPort 2.0? Do I need that?

That's the interface between your laptop and the ECU. It works out of the box with the Evo X and you plug in the Mitsu adapter for any of the older Evos. If you buy the kit then it comes with everything, including Subie adapters.
