In a nutshell: E85 has a much higher octane rating than gasoline, thus making it more knock resistant and effectively allows you to run more timing, boost because of it's cooling properties (cooler intake charge) in relation to gasoline.
Running E85 requires roughly 30% more fuel than normal gasoline and since we are currently limited in terms of our fuel system we cannot run it at this time.
On a personal note, I gained 30awhp and equal torque switching to E85 on my old Evo VIII. It allowed me to increase timing and boost without a hint of knock. It was MUCH better than meth, no filling the meth tank up constantly and worrying about my meth fail-safe going out...

E85 generally requires larger injectors to be installed due to the larger amount of fuel needed to maintain stoichiometry. On a gasoline engine, optimum power fuel ratio is usually around 12.5-13.0:1. With E85 that number is somewhere around 9.0:1 (!)

just because ottp or zzp or anyone doesnt make a kit for it. i guess it cant be done hey.... it doesnt need eric to be done. there for throw money at it as in, doing it yourself, 1 they make lines for the car, 2 they make bigger pumps for are car, 3, you can have anything in the fuel system anodized if it needs to be, 4 i can go just about every gas station and get e85 here, 5 the 80lbs you have can support e85 if those arnt big enough i know where i can get bigger, 6 you can tune the car with hp tuners if you know what your doing, its called custom eric, it might not be worth the gains or not but it could be done, its just the fact that no ones done it yet.... but its like oranges and apples e85/race gas....

Look at what section you are dude. "2.0L LNF Performance Tech 260hp and 260 lb-ft of torque Turbocharged tuner version."
This thread is all about E85 in an LNF.

The LNF owners (in this thread) have mentioned that they are all ready maxing out their injectors on pump gas to get to the hp levels they are at.
To run E85 the injectors need to flow approximately 30% more fuel.
YOU CAN NOT FLOW MORE FUEL FOR E85 ON THE LNF INJECTORS IF THEY ARE MAXED OUT ON PUMP GAS!!!
Stop posting and start reading...geez
