Thinking on converting. Suggestions?

So far (I think my injectors are stock, first evo). I bought the car and it does have a whine in the back making me think it's got a walbro, I tried checking but 2 of the screws snapped and I decided to do it another day when I could just swap it all out.

As for mods I've got intake, fmic, boost controller, exhaust. I'm pushing almost 350whp on 91 octane. What do you think I would be at currently if I switched to e85?

Edit: Decided to just wait and start collecting parts, should have my cams, o2 housing, injectors, and conversion to e85 in June. Still wondering what type of power I'll be making, can't wait to find out and update this thread.

Thanks!

I went from 91oct 305whp with a stock 9 turbo and a crappy stock wg opening too soon to E85 370whp with the same mods to a 25G and a better wg to 455whp, mods listed in sig. Im pretty sure I could of done better numbers with the wg that I have right now on the stock turbo either on 91oct or E85, but I wanted a bigger turbo. I still have room for more if I want to but for now Im good.

Should be getting my car back really soon, full bolton with stock block/stock evo ix turbo.

Was making 348.9whp on 26lbs 91 octane.

Current mods added muse o2 dump, gsc s2 cams, 1350cc injectors and walbro fuelpump (going e85).

I should have the dyno on Monday or Tuesday (car is still getting worked on at English Racing). I'll post up my new and old dynosheet tomorrow or Tuesday!

You won't regret going to E85 as long as it's readily available. My car is a DD and route planning sometimes gets annoying. I have to fill up at my local station before going anywhere.

Is it worth it to run e85? I feel lil ei would have issues finding gas stations that have it. Especially if I let it get too low. but the power gains would be nice
