Did you contact Vince for the tune? I want the E85 tune as well.. I see you have an 09, is it out yet?

 

Vince is now doing 09's

 

Let me contact him!! Was there a charge for it? I will pay if needed.

 

there is an upgrade fee, (its not much) contact him for pricing

 

I just got my Cryoed 4.45 gears and LSD back. Now the fun begins. Putting it back together

 

I think i'll give you guys some time on this tune. Sooo tempting though.

 

So when is someone with direct injection going to crank up their compression?

 

What would the point be?

 

????

Making the engine run more efficient off of a better quality fuel?

 

I understand on a naturally aspirated engine that you could up the compression to make more hp, but on a turbocharged motor would you not just up the boost pressure?

 

Pretty much. As long as you aren't running your turbo past it's efficiency range.

 

As far as running E85 and a stock turbo is concerned, raising the compression would be a great mod for the LNF. I'd go 10:1.

 

Boost pressure is a great way to increased "calculated dynamic compression," but the higher the boost the harder the turbo has to work. (On a low compression motor.) On a higher compression motor, a low boost engine will make the same or better HP than a High boost low compression motor. (using the same turbo.)

 

Drewbroo... What psi is your tune set at?? I've contacted Vince and wasn't able to get a hold of him. I left him a message though.. I poured gas 2 days ago so I have 3/4 of a tank left so I'm in no rush to receive my E85 tune.

 

Yup. Any time you can run the turbo in a more efficient range by lowering the boost and raising compression, there are gains to be had. In the case of a larger turbo where there is a lot more boost/airflow to be had without maxing the turbo, then less compression and more boost will result in more hp.

 

22-23PSI tune. Email you will get better results. Hes very busy with all the new orders for E85 tunes, so please be patient. vince@trifectaperformance.com is his email

 

3-21 Update.... My 2400 psi file popped a P0087 Low Fuel Rail Pressure CEL in a 3rd gear pull tonight. Inj % went through the roof as did STFT's trying to get enough fuel in there. I think too much pressure throws the HPFP off it's curve but I have no proof other than my feeble results. Chicken or the egg kinda thing, which came first?

Loaded the 2200 psi layer file for the way home but it'll be raining by then.

Interested to see other peoples results....

 

So is the E85 running fine with no codes on the 2200psi?? im just trying to gain as much info as i can before i got get my E85 tune on the 2nd of April. lol!

 

No codes but injector % duty is pushing the limit on my LNF. I'll back the boost down to 22 psi if need be. Still testing.... need BYT's 'balt in on this testing too.

 

Hmmm... well i ordered a trifecta cable so i can datalog, and im having andrew (Drewbroo) tune me on the second. Hopefully hell show me some tips and tricks with the trifecta program so i can kinda see what you guys are talking about. lol!

 

You won't see a thing in the Trifecta datalogs. No one but Vince can view them, so there are no tricks a tips to learn

 

Lol! who knows then? i just ordered the cable like i was told to do by drewbroo. lol!

 

The cable is usefull in quite a few other applications other than tuning an LNF via trifecta, so maybe brebroo has something else planned? I guess you shall find out..

 

yeah who knows? its the Tactrix cable. i just do what im told since im pretty clueless when it comes to tuning. lol! If im shown how to do something i can do it but if im told how to do it its a lil more complicated. lol!

 

I'm right with you there. When learning how to do carbs... it only took one time of showing me. Computers are way too complex for me at this point... which is why people like Vince are around to figure this **** out for us and make it as easy as the click of a mouse.
