it'd be like running unleaded and lpg at the same time. you'd need two sets of fuel system etc... would be super expensive and you'd want to switch tunes when you switch fuel sources so you'll need two tunes etc.

It might be reasonably hard to do on a budget build system, for little to no gain.

 

If your car is LPG allready, you could proberly get a FG turbo manifold (for the direct upwards TB)

Fit a carby to it, with a smallish jet size, with a similar opening to the stock TB, but remove the throttle blades. run that to a secondarily e85 tank

Fir the stock LPG throttle body on-top of that.

block off the std injector ports.

start it and see what happens.

 

otherwise to do it properly you might want a new instake manfold with two sets of injectors, do e85 set and egas set. you will then proberly need a haltech for 12 injector control and it will cost alot for verry little reward.

 

IDK if you could just fit a meth injection system and fit it with e85 instead of meth?

It may be possible but will definitely be expensive and gains will likely be bugger all.

 

Would be 10x better off selling the car and buying a T if it's performance you're after.

I'm guessing you got the car around the same time you joined the forum?
