BM3 E85

Hey all,

So I'll be purchasing BM3 and catless downpipe soon. I'm looking at going full E85 and noted that the BM3 can be utilized with a flex fuel kit. I have some concerns.

- Fuel Pump Upgrade (guessing high flow)?
- Injectors?
- Possible port injection?
- Fuel pressure regulator?

Just not sure that the stock B48 components can handle the fuel requirements that E85 demands.

I wouldn't be fulltime E85, probably running 93 octane 90% of the time due to the harshness of E85 on components/parts. This is why the flex fuel kit coupled with BM3 has caught my attention. Thanks for your feedback.

hardware wise for b46 gen 1 stock turbo all you need is to install a b58tu hpfp. it bolts on. it bolts on, no tune required.

in your case flex fuel kit to talk to the dme would be ideal as well. a true flex fuel custom tune would be even better.
