Nice man...what did you do to your fuel system to set it up to run E85. I hear E85 will eat the lines/fittings of non-E85 fuel systems. Is this true? Good stuff!

It doesnt eat away the lines, I have good friends with turbo and all motor hondas that have ran it for well over a year now. I just wouldnt recommend storing a car with the E85 in your tank.

I have 1600cc injectors and a walbro 255 fuel pump, i am maxing out the fuel pump right now so i am going to go with an aeromotive 1000 or maybe dual 1000's.

From what I know the walbro 255 will support 600hp on premium so my guess would be it will support only around 500hp with the E85, but I have not dyno'd my current setup

Nice to hear.

The reported problems with ethanol are related to rubbers that swell and deteriorate in contact with it and the promotion of rust in steel tanks and lines. Not sure how susceptible S2000s are to these issues but I am interested in finding out.

If you hear any proof on any of the negatives that people say why not to run e85 let me know!

Ive got right around a 500hp setup and I daily drive the car 100-150miles a day, I wouldnt say im not nice to the car but I do drive the shit out of it everywhere I go..
