Planning e85 conversion could use some tips
Hello all thanks for viewing for thread.
I am planning to convert my '14 to e85 and I have compiled a list of parts that I think I would need. I have a stock Evo, that is daily driven, but I do plan to upgrade it slowly over time. I have tried to make my selections ans future proof as possible without going to overboard.
Well here is the list:
Cobb 1300cc Injectors
Walboro 400lph pump with MAP install kit
MAP inline fuel filter
Driven Fabrication fuel line
AEM wideband
AEM regulator with gauge
Are the fuel line and inline fuel filter both necessary or will just one of them due. I know I need a fuel filter with a new pump install but not sure if the Driven Fabrication fuel line with filter will cover it. I would also like recommendations for a fuel sock as this been a point of confusion for me.
I want to do this right and not have to worry about dissolving fuel lines or anything like that. Is there anything else I would need or is this list too much, too little, or just right.
I live in Central California and would like to know if anyone knows where I can get it tuned for e85.

You need a good sock for the pump (you can get this from Radium), and you need a stainless steel inline filter. I made a post where you can assemble one yourself and save a ton of money.

unless you have an E85 station extremely close to you, then pick up some decent 5 gallon fuel containers to fill up when you do go to the station. My favorite so far are the ones I bought at Costco. Unfortunately I haven't seen them in stock for a while. I bought a metal one from Harbor Freight which seems pretty nice but empties slower then the costco ones which kinda sucks.

Thank you guys for the tips. I've been reading the walboro pump requires a fuel filter. But will I need 2? One in the tank and one near the fuel injectors?
