dustinw · 04-12-2008

E85 is less expensive... but you won't get the same gas mileage so it all evens out pretty much.

google dsm e85 conversion. Basically upgrade your fuel system and get an engine management

You end up spending about the same wieh the gas prices are higher but you save some when they are lower. Plus you can get more power off of E85. Get bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, and something to tune with like a wideband and a safc and you will be set. Some replace the fuel rail with a anodized one but it has been done without with no problems. Good luck.

Don't worry about factory lines, it's a non-issue, at least for several years. And if you do have to replace your one or two rubber lines, they're about $30 new from Mitsu.

If one more E85 thread pops up on here i may just have to kill myself.

He is fairly new he might not have known about the search botton.

There isn't really anything to convert. Technically you're not sopposed to be using aluminum fuel rails, factory seals, etc. I have ran it on the stock fuel system w/dsmlink. Just for DD. Just make sure you have an ample fuel supply.

I think I need to make an E-85 conversion sticky or how-to!
