e85

What is all needed and is it worth it on a NA build? Have a friend who also has a TL-S and is about to run it with a tune. He said you just need 400cc injectors which seems pretty small. Coming from a turbo dodge background I know you have to run atleast 1000cc injectors to run it on a turbo 4 cylinder. So when he told me 400cc I was very surprised.

Curious if the fuel pump needs to be upgraded and what size injectors? Anything else?

What is the point on a NA engine? I recall another thread like this about a year or two ago. Not much point unless running boost...and even then, nobody was sure if the fuel lines and such would hold up to e85. Just lots of unknowns.

Mainly curious on injector size and if the fuel pump needed to be upgraded which was the main point of the thread. I was surprised there was no solid info for NA builds. Just guys saying it can hurt your motor. Which is false with a proper tune and fuel setup. Now is it worth it? Could be with the proper tune since it is 105 octane. Would I ever run it in my TL-S? Hell no.
