E85 tune help

I'm planning on getting tuned on e85 after my Z1 intakes arrive. Is this all I need to get tuned?.

You will still need a e85 content Analyzer

I emailed tune shop and they didn't specify on that. He said he was going to tune me 2 maps, e85 and 91.

Before you keep you enter the void into questionland inform yourself by doing the proper research first. Also dont be afraid to copy setups as well.

Though whats in the picture will work, you shouldnt need injector adapters, These adapters can be a waste of $40 if you dont buy the right injectors. A set of GTR injectors will be a bit more affordable.
The pump is both a performance and quality upgrade this will delay the decaying process off metal parts in ethanol.

So with e85 you dont need a content/flex sensor however it necessary for reliability. The map will try to adjust to load and knock parameters to give you the best it can give however if it had an actual % that the sensor provides it would tell the ecu how to run depending on the ethanol content. not all e85 is the same, you might find ethanol in the 70% or so. No real way to tell what you have in the tank without this.

Yeah I saw some dude on youtube, he had a content sensor, when he pumped e85 it dropped to like 50. Where can I buy a set of gtr injectors more affordable than this package here?. I won't even use the adapters, I guess since it came with the pump I thought it was not a bad deal.

z1 has the pump for under $120. As for injectors you'll have to do some more research.
They range from $50-$200 depending if they are counterfeit. Average of $100-$120 will be what you'll spend.

Thanks bull, appreciate the 2 cents. By the way, are you tuned?.

Yes. Agreed as well that you do not need the harness if you go with gtr injectors as they are plug and play.
200 for used injectors plus 110-120 for pump
You shouldn't have to pay more than 320 for parts.

Yes. I almost forgot as bull mentioned reliability but you will need a fuel hose for the pump as well. As the old one will be stuck on your oem pump. I recommend using a flex and not a rubber one. CJM has a fuel pump install kit it is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for and it has more than enough wiggle room to not have kinks. If anyone has a cheaper alternative please let me know.
So recap is injectors,fuel pump,pump hose, and if you want to replace the O ring on fuel tank as you will open it. I retract my statement of the Analyzer kit as it it not needed.

Do you think this one will work?. I checked the cjm and they are out of stock. I just wonder if it's compatible with aem fuel pump.

They also have this one on Z1. The hose doesn't look flimsy.

That's the rubber hose I wouldn't recommend but it can work. Not that specific one as it's appears to be for a bigger pump 10 mm .I believe with the pump your are running it will be 8mm 5/16. Check the fuel hose sizes before buying .

you do not need a fuel pump to run e85
