$2000 - $3000 + Tuning for Flex Fuel?

Or you can buy a set of takeoff GTR injectors and a new fuel pump. I'll bet you can get it done for under $1k plus the retune. 1000cc injectors are way oversized for a NA car.

I agree with this... The Aeromotive 340 costs less than $200, and I just searched for used GTR injectors on ebay and the first result was only $286 shipped. You can install these yourself if you are handy, these are pretty simple mods if you are savvy.

Hi Guys, like I said, I'm not questioning the price when you look at all thats included, Ive just never seen anyone say you needed all this to tune a NA on E85. When people post about E85 with just bolts on, and then list the bolt ons, or bone stock, they don't list $2000 in other mods. If they had them, I'd expect to see they upgraded pump and injectors, but they don't. So that's what I'm asking, is all that necessary? I was just shocked to see the total cost for running on E85 when people seem to be doing it for next to nothing once the sensors were installed. Obviously if this is the case, E85 costs for an N/A car are ridiculous, and nobody should do it.

$3500 is about ½ the cost of a ready to roll BP Turbo kit.

How many cc's are the GTR injectors? 600? I've got Bosch 850 ($400 wheeling and dealing), just for reference here.

Injectors are a piece of cake to change yourself.

Aeromotive 340 is $115 from CJM (just ordered one last night) and comes with everything but if you want a plug and play harness it's an extra $39. Still a bargain any way you look at it.

Seb charges a few hundred bucks for the e85 e-tune.

No reason this should cost anywhere near 2-3k. Personally I'm not sure it's worth it to squeeze 12hp extra out of it. I'm sure there are better and more economical ways to accomplish the same or better.

If it helps any I just posted a Stillen high output fuel pump from the supercharger kit for cheap.
