Converting to E85

[Sik95TSI]

So I wanted to convert to E85, I'm pretty sure all i need a Bigger injectors and fuel pump correct? I've heard E85 leans you out more so let's say if your running 850cc's you actually running like 650's??? Any info would be great thanks!! - Ryann!

First off, what are your power goals and general goals with the car. We need to know this in order to set you on the path to choosing the right parts.

But to answer your questions, yes. You need higher flowing injectors and fuel pump.

Get some 1000cc Injectors, Walbro 255, and that's it. Stock lines and FPR are perfectly fine. Link to tune and you are good to go. E85 is magical, trust me on that.

i thought you needed stainless lines and fittings to run e85 or it will eat through fuel system components?

Still kinda new to the forum, but I am also getting ready to switch to e85. After doing quite a bit of research and reading what other members have posted, most people are using the stock lines but it is recommended to use a different fuel filter as the e85 will go through those quite often. I believe it's a 40 micron metal element filter is what's recommended. Hope this helps.
