From my understanding. Its suggested that you upgrade to stainless feed and return lines. I am still reading up on e85 myself. But from what i've seen. Its 105~109 octane for $2.40 ish per gallon.

Ah, welcome back, Zhemel. I now know who you are. I can't believe you still don't know how to spell "cheap." You've done a good job of hiding your identity for a while, but you just messed up.

Thanks for the info, guys.
I was just curious if it was any easier for you guys than it is for us (STi).

One more question..
Around how much HP do you need to start upgrading internals?

500-550whp.

PS. It may not be easy to make a random 500whp on straight pump gas, but anyone with a turbo that big should be using alky or race gas anyway. It doesn't make much sense (if any) to run a turbo that size while only boosting at 22psi when the turbo can do 30+.

Striaght pump is tough on low displacement motors, if 500 whp is your goal, then look no farther than a 50trim, and alky, If you want more room to shine, a 35r is a Great option but something to consider when you running race gas. i think that 400 whp is more than the average evo owner can handle its a hand fun and alot of fun.
