Converting FB Nikki to E85?

[PercentSevenC]

Well, you can make more power on E85 than you can on gas if you tune it correctly. You won't be able to take advantage of the higher octane unless you're boosted, though. You'll need a new higher-flowing ethanol-compatible fuel pump and soft fuel lines at least. It might also be necessary to have your intake manifold coated with something, because E85 is corrosive to aluminum. What that means for old rotor housings with missing chrome, I don't know. Maybe nothing. I also don't know what, if any, parts of a stock Nikki need to be replaced. Maybe Sterling will know.

I would love to run my FB on E85 after the turbo goes in, so I'm making a point of getting ethanol-compatible fuel system components. I'm just waiting for an E85 station to open up around here.
