Converting to E85 need some help

Hello Guys,

I'm currently putting together a parts list to convert to a e85 gas. I currently run e85 in my c63 and have had zero issues with it and would like to do so with my 911 as well. I just want some people who are running e85 to help me out or guide me a bit if I'm missing some needed parts or my part selections are poor.

My Parts List for e85:
Custom Tune, possibly stand alone system
2150cc injectors from Fuel Injector Clinic
Fuel Pump (haven't sourced one out yet)
Fuel Rails (haven't sourced one out yet)
Gt2 OEM Intercoolers

Is that all I would need to complete the conversion or am I missing some elements.
Currently my car has full coilovers, swaybars, europipe 2, and fabspeed intake so I think adding e85 will achieve my goal of over 525whp to out do my c63.

Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it.

no need to run 2150 cc injectors to reach your goal. actually the # you want should be fairly easy to get with a simple tune and exhaust on a 997 tt. call undercover performance in jersey and speak with garth.
if you insist on e85 1000cc or 1300 cc should do the trick and easier to tune with. fuel lines need to be refitted to run e85 and fuel rails can be had thru u/p with billet rails. magna fuel pump either a 612 or 750 works well. pre and post filters as well as a fuel pressure regulator will be needed. weldon makes all of these.

I would contact Todd at Protomotive, he has done plenty of E85 tuning. I beleive on stock turbos you dont need the 2150cc injectors.

I have 1150cc injectors with stock pump, lines, rail, etc. no need for more. On stock turbos, 850cc injectors will be fine.

All you need for ~600whp on stock turbos with E85 is a 5 bar FPR, Bosch 80lbs/hr injectors, and a Protomotive flash.
