meh once honda and yamaha jump on the bandwagon with e85 blend being up in the highval octane territory we're going to see 150 hp/liter, i can only imagine good things coming out of running 13:1+ compression on this 105

The main mod is the fuel injectors, you need higher capacity and seal compatibility with ethanol. Fuel pump also needs to be upgraded to provide more flow and ethanol compatibility. I think spark plugs also need to be hotter, and you're going to need to get tuned. But beyond that....it should work in your car just fine.
