Re: E-85 Carb conversion??
Assuming that the rest of the fuel system is compatible with the corrosive nature of ethanol (golf carts are not), I would start with 15% larger jets & see where that gets you. Some additional tuning and plug reading will likely be necessary. I would at minimum replace all rubber lines.

Fuel pump has a rubber diaphragm and it might not be happy with E85. Be ready for possible trouble there also. RAY

I think he's gonna turbo it, he's gonna need that 115 octane.

Re: E-85 Carb conversion??
I try to shy away from ethanol by using av gas. Ethanol attracts water, is corrosive and detrimental to anything made of rubber.

Re: E-85 Carb conversion??
Having more octane will not make more power without something to utilize it, like higher compression, or boost. Besides more octane (resistance to detonation), E-85 actually has less BTU energy than gasoline.
