Default E85 Question

So, I have a EJ8 with a B18b swap. I plan to go turbo soon, but for now I want to mess with e85, not to go off racing but I want to tune it(with crome ) on a stock engine prior to boosting so I can understand how it runs . I have a 255 pump laying around and was gonna run it with my oe 240cc injectors. I was wonder what else I would need....
AFPR?

Thanks In Advance.

Do your research on E85. It takes a lot more E85 to run an engine than it does regular fuel. I doubt the stock size injectors will be enough and I don't know how long that 255 will last.

Well I'll update this post, I have talked to RC Engineering this past weekend and they side if I ran an AFPR and set it to 70psi, I would strain my stock fuel system(I would only need 74LPH pump, which the stock one is 79LPH) but that would actually be able to DD with E85.Just reg. driving. I honestly just want to see what would happen and how long it'll last on my tune.

Now, if I were to go turbo I would need a 200LPH (199 to be exact) fuel pump. I would be running my 550 at around 50PSI netting 580lph, where I would require around 549injectors to run e85 OR pump gas @520 spec injectors....
