Default Hello! How can I convert my 1995 Honda Civic into an FFV vehicle?

I mean, what changes do I have to do in the computer system and in the injection system as well? Can somebody give me a detailed description of the converting procedure? What do I have to buy at first etc... I'd be thankful.

Why bother? E85 Ethanol is not available everywhere and you get less mileage per tank than regular gas. Honda are pretty clean engine emission wise, if you maintain them correctly. I don't think the cost is worth it. Could be expensive since E85 is corrosive to many parts of the engine, if not done correctly. FFV (Flexible Fuel Vehicle) for the post above.

Unless you want to sink about $10,000 in parts and labor I would leave it alone, plus your engine components were not made for this so you would probably wind up blowing your motor in the long run.
