You could dig through our KA forums; I remember seeing some e85 threads. Also, I bet if you used the Nico search button at the upper right part of the screen, and typed in e85, that something would turn up.

yeah digging through the KA forums would be a good start

but basically... alcohol resistant lines... bigger (and preferably alcohol friendly pump)... bigger injectors... and then some mad ECU tuning skills
