E85 Conversion

I know there are several threads on this but what would this cost on average to convert on a boosted setup AND for those that have done this, are there any problems?

Can't remember the cost of DSteck's flex kit, maybe $400 plus or minus $100. Install is a breeze. Tuning will cost whatever they charge - couple hundred and up.

As for problems, well, more of a limiter is your fuel system. It generally takes 30-35% more fuel through your fuel pump and injectors to "equate" what 91/93 octane will give you, horsepower-wise. But, if you have the fuel system, HP comes easily.

Dsteck's kit is $200. Gonna need some bigger injectors. I went with ID1300s. They retail for $1800 but you can get them for way less if you go through a dealer or know a dealer personally like I do. Fore Innovations or Squash are the fuel setups to look at. I went Fore's triple AEM 50-1200 setup on my car. Retails for a good bit but same as with the injectors got it for way less.

His kit varies. $200 is the sensor/harness. If you want the full bolt on with the hard bent lines/etc they are more like $400.

Tuning and enough fuel (injectors/pump) are also needed and that is the pricey part. ID1300s and dual/tripple pumps is the way to go.
