e85?

Hey I have a stock evo x se and I'm wondering what excatly needs to be changed out to run e85? I'm going to be having ams tune the car in the bear future I just seen all these good HP gains from e85. Just wasn't sure with a tune if a stock evo x can run on e85.

Injectors, Fuel Pump, TBE, Tune for e85...are all that's really needed. You should probably take the time to do some research though and plan out your build. Do things right the first time.

If you're going to AMS dont hesitate to ask them, they will point you in the right direction of your power goals.

Technically all you need is a fuel pump and injectors, and then of course a tune on e85, but personally I wouldn't do that on a stock X. Wouldn't really be worth it, I would start with the basics, tbe, intake, tune, etc, and then convert to e85, you'll be happier with your switch i think, i just switched over and i'm loving it, deffinately happy I did it, you will love the torque!

Curious why you think it wouldnt be worth it just cuz its stock. More hp/tq is always awesome.

OP all you need is a bigger fuel pump and at least 1000cc injectors. Retune of course. I run MAP's 255 pump kit and ID 1000's.

Thats true, i guess my point was, personally id rather throw on a few more bolt ons before spending money on a tune on e85, still worth it to go e85 stock, i just think its more cost efficient to do it with a few other mods.

there's absolutely no reason that TBE is a must...
