There are a number of EVOs running E85. The only changes are an upgraded fuel pump, larger injectors and a re-tune. You will need 30% more E85 by volume than with gasoline. Not a single one of these E85 EVOs has had any corrosion issues. All are running stock fuel lines, stock tank, stock fuel rail, etc. There is a special forum section on EvolutionM.net for Special Fuels - lots of E85 info.

So, after reading the archives, it looks like the question was never actually answered (but boy did it create a long list of people talking about the USA's energy policy!). There was some hand waving about it not being just as simple as putting E85 in your tank and retuning, but no concrete examples of things tried, problems encountered, solutions created, etc. I'm looking to avoid the whole discussion of whether or not this is a good energy policy and mainly wondering if it can be done on a hobby level. Replacing fuel lines, the pump, and injectors seems like an easy task and gives me an excuse to continue to tinker with the Miata. I had considered doing an AC electric motor conversion to the Miata, but that's going to be far more work and far more expensive (like $20k, at least, to do it right). So, has anyone else given any thought to E85 in their Link Miata, and if so, how did it go? Thanks!
