It's fine. Start with a small amount so you can see how the engine likes it. Put it on map 5 and do your adaptation runs, then have fun!

Please let us know your results. I am getting ready to start running an E85 - 93 octane mix myself. I am anxious to see how it runs.

Does anyone know if the G4 board supports it as well? What "adaptations" do you have to do? A few 3rd gear runs?

correct just do a few 3rd gear runs on map 5 and it will adapt.
G4 boards do support E85 but i strongly recommend upgrading to G5 ISO.
