What modifications would be needed to run e85 in a r32gtr.Besides changing fuel lines and anything made of rubber that will come in contact with it,what else would need to be done.Has anyone tried this yet.

Would you be running 100% E85 (which is 85% ethanol 15% gasoline) or a blend of E85 with petrol?

At higher concentrations of E85 you may need to change to a compatible fuel pump. You will certainly need bigger injectors and a remap as lean best power is achieved at 8.5:1 AFR whilst rich best torque is closer to 7:1. Cruise fuelling will need remapping as stoich is ~9.8:1.

As a consequence you will take a negative hit on mpg.

There's a huge thread on one of the impreza sites about the use of E85 which will answer all your questions, but I'll just have to go and locate it.
