and you need to change your paper fuel filter too..E85 will gel the paper ones and as time goes on down the road you'll want better fuel lines as well..

for now im running stock but will be running a greddy exhaust, got a dc header for free! have a port and polish job with a stage 1 bc cams with retainers and springs.

I figured I would have to do a tune with fuel upgrades ect. pump, filter, lines, injectors,

Is there anything to serious though?
and where can a tune be done in the San jose CA area?

Do you even have easy access to e85? I'm in Sacramento and have only seen 1 gas station with the stuff.

With such a mild build there's no point

it could still be fun to run, dual map your ecu with a switch so you can run pump gas or e85, thats how all of us with evo's do it

well back in missouri e85 is everywhere but i have 3 local stations that do sell e85 here in san jose so im in luck there!

I would love a dual map!

and im just doing a mild build for now, The real money goes into the car at the end of the year and i will still be running e85 on my extreme build. so this minor build is just getting me ready for the extreme one!!!!

if your gonna do it eventually just do the fuel stainless fuel lines and everything while your already in there, a walbro 255 will probably work but since they already have a 340 drop in why not already have it in already too

yea just go with the drop in 340, stainless lines all the way, an no paper fuel filter elements..they'll turn to gel..then big injectors, a fuel pressure regulator and you should be set and of course a kick *** dual map tune bc on e85 your gonna burn gas like crazy and sometimes your just gonna wanna use 91 or 93 for just cruising

you cant run dual maps with s300. you can however save multiple kals and switch them whenever you want. but it's not like flipping a switch and voila.

there's numerous tuners in the bay area. search.

yea just and also idk about the hondata but on my evo its just a simple 2 wire with a switch that i use to change my map, usually i drive till gas light comes on, drive a bit more, go to pump, let it almost run out of gas, flip the switch then fill up on different fuel, its fun for me bc 91 to e85 i get 100 more hp lol

you get better horse power, lower intake and exhaust temps, but the gas mileage does significantly decrease
