e85/93 octane tune?
okay this may sound like a dumb question but is there anyway to get my car tuned to run e85 while still having a 93 octane tune? like the cruise control button for the e85 tune kinda like the switchable tunes or whatever? the reason i ask is there is a e85 station about 30 miles from my house and i would switch my injectors if i could do that switchable thing.

to my knowledge unless trifecta could do something similiar to the gm stage 3, you would probably wana have two pcms. One for the E tune and the other for 93

You could just do an e tune and if you got the short end of the stick put a gallon of 93 in the tank and limp to the e85 station. Or you could order e98 in 55 gallon drums to you house and mix it yourself. e is about the same distance from me and I still dont think its close enough to run it.

Its not possible currently. You could buy a space PCM and then swap back and forth but that's about it.

That's sillier than just keeping your laptop in the car and swapping tunes.

If you have that stuff, obviously thats a easy, better choice. Not everyone has their own tuning equipment

Another option is to do what they do in Brazil (I think) if you can get one here; is that they use a device that goes between the PCM and fuel injectors, and a switch is used for E85 and gas. If in E85 it increases your injector's pulse width, whereas in gas it does nothing.

Thats called a piggy back. The AEM F/IC does this.
