What's the motivation to use E85? As others have pointed out, it is not as easy to work with as gasoline (you'll need a kit) and it contains less energy than gasoline.

You don't need a kit, just a tune.
Motivation is generally more power.

to second Andrew025, you can run E85 with only a tune (OFT is only like $500 and has OTS E85 tunes), no kit required. On an otherwise-stock car, it's a noticeable kick in the pants. But its real value is in FI setups--it allows for a HUGE increase in power. As in, kits that run 280whp on pump 93 can put out 400+hp when tuned for E85.

The real answer is, you might want to look into water/methanol injection.

i think making e85 lab just for e85 is more of a headache compared to going FI on 98 octane (china uses RON so 98Ron = 91 AKI)

Maybe invest in a SC like vortech or innovative ?
