E85 requirements?

I remember reading something somewhere that I need to buy something to run E85 with the Adaptronic?

I know Ill have to change out my wideband, or atleast get a new gauge face, not sure if the same sensor is utilized.. Currently using a AEM Analog wideband.

Going to be running 4 2200cc injectors

You will need a E85 sensor only if your planning to mix fuels, if your only going to run E85 you don't need the sensor.

This sensor needs to be installed in the return fuel line after the fuel pressure regulator.

Highly recomend the Innovate MTX-L wideband sensor.

Any wideband sensor that displays in Lambda will be fine.

Here is the zeitronix sensor that is needed if you want to do have the ecu adjust based on alcohol content( not necessary for E85)

AEM says theirs reads Lambda .58-1.22 afr. So Thats all Ill need? Ill just have to chance the face of my gauge to read the right thing?

That range is more than good enough.

If you leave the face in AFR you will be fine. You will just change your target AFR's to account for the different lambdas. If you switch your gauge face to Lambda you will need to turn the trim pot on the back of the AEM gauge to change to Ethanol Lambda. If you plan on running flex blends you should not switch to the Lambda face because Lambda will be continuously changing as flex content changes.
