Going from stock to e85?

[spazelite]

Hello
I have been reading a lot of the forums about e85, but all the examples I see are for moderately to fully modded cars. I have a stock 2g turbo dsm (95 talon tsi) and I have DSMLink. If I install larger injectors (ballpark of 850) and keep the rest stock, and adjust my fuel globals, will that do it? I have no wish to install a larger turbo, and I would like to avoid changing the FPR fuel pump etc.
I did read the forums both here and on dsmlinks site until my eyes started going buggy!
Thanks in advance for anyone that can clarify this for me.

For a stock car I would advise against it as you will need larger injectors, a fpr, tuning solution, wideband, fuel pump(maybe).

beside the expense of those items you will receive none of the benefits of running the e85 since your not going to a large / high boost turbo. And you will use about 30 percent more fuel making it cost more than premium fuel.

im almost positive you would need a new pump, the stocker might last for a minute but e85 will actually eat away at it, and when you first start running e85, you'll need to swap out fuel filters for frequently for the first bit. Just another expense that probably wasnt planned on....

The stock pump will not do e85 because of its flow.

The ethanol in the gas isn't going to eat away at anything. Automotive rubber/plastic is protected against that, and has been since the 70s.

Don't waste time with e85 unless you wanna make 350+whp.
