Default E85

I have a 99 frc putting UPP twin turbo kit with the 6182r turbos and there external fuel return style fuel system.

Just curious on what else I need to run e85. Stock engine(for now) 60lbs injectors.

Hoping to be around 600rwhp with stock engine.

Thanks!

At only 600hp, E85 probably isnt worth the expense or hassle.

that's basically it. pump, injectors, filters, and tune. I did a homemade external setup, similar to the ECS, bosch 044, modified factory fuel rail, check valve on the external side.
I mainly ran it for safety while testing new setups. and it smells better , it burn more fuel, but mathematically cheaper/mile for me than running 93. it's only a hassle if you dont have a station nearby.

What about fuel lines if you have after market braided lines.

Teflon or suitable metal lines.

Braided means nothing as you can have teflon braided or rubber braided.

I wouldn't use anything besides a quality PTFE line for fuel. My preference is Fragola. 100% Made in the USA - because that matters to me.
