Also to answer the guy above me most likely look into a new fuel pump and injectors

stock fuel rail will be enough for quite a bit of power. Depends on your long term goals in order to decide on an injector size but to give you an idea I had FIC 1050cc injectors and was at 68% duty cycle on e85 and 30 psi on a stock IX turbo.

I know a bunch of people that have been running E85 for over a year now and no issues at all with 1000cc injectors and the fuel pump pushing over 400whp on stock turbos .. the only fuel system related issues ive heard of with corn is on the new civics and it eating up stuff on the fuel pump .. as for the evos .. not heard of a single issue ...
swapping a turbo is super easy and takes like 2 hours .. i did it once in 2.5 in a walmart parking lot with just my little tool kit i keep in the car .. i blew the turbo .. and went to san an got a new one and threw it in down there ... way easy
As for the motor build .. I just did mine .. fully built everything block and head and the time it takes to do rebuilt it depends on a lot .... when you order your parts .. what parts you order .. if they are in stock ... if they ship you the right or wrong parts .. things gettting lost in the mail .. if you need machine shop work(ie head work, valve job, bore block etc) ...and then you have actually assembling the motor.. then you have have to consider how busy they shop is that you want to build the motor .. or you are gonna do it your self ... for me .. from the time i ordered all the parts/pulled the motor to putting the motor back in was a month and me and a buddy doing all the work so we got to work at our pace(which was pretty quick ... we had the motor from just a block to fully assembles long block in a two days and in the car the next .. but if you order parts now and make sure stuff is right ... that will cut off about 2 weeks ... but there are a lot of factors .. and it is not a process to rush make sure it is done right
