I'm in your same boat man. I've been talking with my tuner lately and he just informed me to get bigger injectors. I have a walbro also which is fine and want a 9 turbo as well, but not necessary. He recommended FIC injectors, something over 1000cc and I'd be good to go. Looks like that would be the same for you.

I'm using FIC 1050s and the scaling is perfect, drivability is perfect, and also switching between 91/e85 is good too. Depending on the power level you want you can start with 1050s and go up from there

First you need to talk with a tuner. However, generally you would need bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump. Of course with a turboback and some other supporting mods.

Did you guys try searching?

This topic has been covered quite a few times here on EvoM...

E85 needs an upgraded fuel pump and injectors. Which fuel pump is based on your power level.

looks like all you need is bigger injectors with your setup to run e85

The car I'm looking at getting has a walbro 450 pump with FIC 1050cc injectors 272 cams on a 2.3 w/ PTE 6262, AEM v2. Would I just need a tune? What numbers could I expect to see on E-85, and 93? I also heard of an evo owner on here by the name Shenanigans that claimed to have sensors in the tank that adjusted his boost/tune on the fly based on what was in the tank? Could I do that and how? Thanks newb here
