E85 conversion(just laying the groundwork)

Haha man, this has turned into a meeting of the minds.
Frank, working with the guys at CJ Motorsports and the guys at Z1 now have a gameplan. Unfortunately, it's going to cost more money (because of course it is).

Drilling out the swirl jet resulted in a small pressure drop but not enough to run the car safely. I am upgrading to a stage 1 CJ Motorsports fuel return system along with the Synapse BPV to go with the AEM fuel pump and the 1000cc ID injectors.

Paid for the parts today. With a little luck, it will be done next week.

Oh and if anyone wants to check it out in-person, it'll be in the Hill's charity car show this Sunday. Can't vouch for how clean it's going to be seeing as it has been sitting in a garage for a month and a half now.

tl;dr summary:
1) 1000cc injectors on this car are very difficult to wrangle
2) E85 tuning is a bitch
3) 1+2 = tuning nightmare but our 370z.com sponsor brain trust seems to be pretty confident that they have a solution.
4) Turbosmart BPVs require frequent lubrication or they'll stick and eat themselves.
