How are the non-tuners switching over to this tune? You have to drive until almost empty, go to the gas-station, fill up on E-85, then have tune downloaded at the gas station?

 

I got 4 fuel jugs filled up at the E85 station and then ran my car out of gas and loaded it up in the driveway. I keep 2 jugs in the truck and fill them up anytime I go past the E85 station.

 

Unfortunately, after reading all of this, it doesn't look like a daily driver can use this E-85 tune. Maybe if I had another car, but this just looks like a big pain in the butt.

 

My DD uses it with no issues

 

Same here!

 

Run it til the Low Fuel DIC pops up, Fill it with E-85, drive it home EASY & load the tune. It takes a few miles to flush the gasoline out of the pump, lines, ect.

Or load the tune first, let it run rich until you get to the station, then fill it up.

The 2 gals of gas left in your tank will skew the fuel trims a few percent until the next fill up. Not a big deal.

 

I have e85 stations all around me in DFW so no biggie for me either. I saved all of the locations to my gps in my phone. Since I have clutch issues with the tune on I just run the base tune around until I can get better clutch. And BTW the base tune with e85 makes nasty power still...its just hard to not hit the button....

 

Ditto!! i havent taken it past 120mph to see how it does yet but for daily driving its doing just fine. Hit up the track last night did quite a few runs and no problems.

 

What did you run last night?

 

my best was a 13.44 at 114mph

 

what kinda MPG's are you guys getting running the E85??

 

Holy Gawd, 114MPH. Hit the friggin Dyno please.

 

he actually had a pass where he trapped 116 lol

 

116 nice! what mods on the car and wich tune?

Yeah I just needed 2, I have too many tires accumulating in my garage

 

i read like the first 18 pages then gave up so i am just gonna ask crap thats prolly already been asked and answered,
#1- is this finalized?
#2 do i need anything to get this done? ie: bigger injectors, pump ect
#3 is it safe?
#4 i live in IOWA -CORNVILLE USA- **** we made e85 hahahaha, but it does get cold as hell in the winter, will it be fine for winter an Daily driving,

thanks guys!

 

yeah but my 116 was a slower quater mile time. lol!! WTF!? it was a 13.646 i think...

 

I want to hit the dyno! lol! just gotta find a place thats decently priced.

 

Hahn CRI, Hahn 3" catback, Hahn 3" catless DP, Hahn Charge pipes, Treadstone TR8 IC, Forge BPV, TTR engine and tranny mounts, tuned on E85, and no more traction with my 235's... lol!

 

1. Yes its already available just contact Vince
2. no
3. 2 weeks as a DD with no problems. still dont know the long term affect it will have, we'll just have to wait and see
4. dont know about a daily driver during the winter.

 

The only minor issue I had was cold starting. For some reason I would try to start the car and it would just crank. On the second try it would start right up. So now I just crank it for 2 seconds turn it off and it starts right up. Cold only 25 degrees
