In development, expect something around Q3/Q4 - we'll be testing on our shop M3 when at that stage and make an announcement when ready to release.

We can do it but needs much larger injectors.

1050cc injectors? Would we need to run a secondary fuel pump as well?

Fuel it has a solution for this. I have been looking into e85 options. My only hesitation is from what ive read, flex fuel sensors cant compensate for rising air intake temps, so after running for a bit, timing is pulled to the point where the benefit of e85 in almost negated. Ive seen a bunch of guys running ice boxes, but that doesnt really sound like the best option for me.

Combine having to use an icebox for sustained performance, e85 and its limited supply local to me, and the fact that there is about a 30% drop in fuel efficiency in a car that already gulps fuel, e85 may never happen for me. VERY interested to see what comes out, and hopefully someone who knows what they are talking about can chime in. Otherwise, im basically speaking out of my ass from what ive simply read.

I like the idea but I have a concern too on long term effects on seals and other components. Has anyone ran an E85 setup for longer than two years?

Right here. Been running E85 for about 2 years now on the AFD kit with nothing but E85 and everything has been solid.
