Default Has anyone gone E85 yet?

What fuel lines? What fuel pump?

What size/ brand injection?

Any particular reason you're looking to convert to E85? If you're not running any boost then it's pointless...having to potentially throw in a different fuel system with a larger pump and bigger injectors, finding a way to tune for the different fueling requirements, reduced fuel mileage (partially offset by the difference in price) and the fact that E85 is available far fewer places. I don't see the attraction.

^^I almost wrote that exact reply yesterday but didn't want to be too 'mean' on the forum lol.

Seems like a total waste of time and resources OP. Just hit up OVTune and grab the newest version of their tuner if you're looking to get any real gains out of this platform without going FI.

I don't see it as being 'mean' but rather trying to figure out the reasons behind wanting to convert...as you mentioned, unless you're going to run some form of boost there is no real benefit to converting to E85.
