I looking into making the switch and wanted to find out if I can get away with just 1000cc injectors or will I need a pump as well. I plan on using the stock turbo. I'll add a test pipe and mod the stock muffler and call it a day. Any idea what Hp I could expect? Any input would be appreciated.

i dont notice any drone, from the inside with the music off you can notice the exhaust slightly from the outside its quit but doesn't sound stock and has a back fire if you give it gas same thing when your boosting let off the gas and get back on it it has a nice quit backfire

Pump will be needed, probably before injectors actually, but with a 255lph and 1000cc you'll have plenty for stock turbo. IIRC, that's the setup Bryan is using for the BBXLite on E85 so running on the stock turbo would definitely not exceed max IDC or pump output.

LOL. I just ordered the 1000cc injectors. Getting the fuel pump, test pipe, and I/C ordered this week. Can't wait to put the project together. I will do a dyno before and after as well. I will post up my results as soon as I can.

I was going to get a Perrin I/C. I can get the piece at cost but don't know if it's worth the extra money. I could pick up an Evo X used for about $200 less. Any thoughts?
Alcohol fuels can be more corrosive on some rubbers , plastic and some metal parts, A fuel pump / injectors are needed for E85 because the stock fuel pump uses the oil in the gas to lubercate itself and E85 doesnt have the same lubercation properties. Same reason for injectors.
