I have read the great benefits of e85 and am ready to run e85 but is there anyone with a canned tune for e85? Does trifecta offer it? If not would a performance shop be able to make me an e85 tune?

 

prolly not your gunna need a custom tune

 

For the custom tune for e85 any shops near Sacramento who have done e85 tunes? Or should any well known performance shop be able to make me a tune?

 

if you are already tuned for 60's on gasoline, just throw in some 80's and E-85 and that's a great starting point. You should only have to make small changes from there.

 

Yeah I will talk to a shop i go to about it. also any side effects of running e85 like shorter engine life or anything like that?

 

- corn smell
- larger injector

 

lower egts

 

Thats what im doing. Its pretty simple. Fuel trims, maf changes, timing.

 

hmm so e85 is approximately 30% more fuel than petro? making the pulse width similar from 60s on gasoline to 80s on e?

 

Umm.... Trifecta can tune you for e85!!!

 

Yeah but can trifecta send me a tune or do I have to go in for custom tuning?

 

I've thought about going to e85 but there no where around here to get it!!

 

Where in WI are your from? WI has over 100 E85 stations.

he can send you a tune.

 

Really, I'm out of milwaukee. Thanks for the link this makes me wanna do it now

 

a canned tune still isnt as good as custom...but if you are that far away from a tuner it could get you by.

 

some people can call it whatever they want, but when it comes down to it. if someone claims that there god at hp tuners and mess up cars. then they are not good enough and need to not tune and your better off going with a shop to tune. but i will vouch for trifecta as a trifecta dealer. cause i just recently had a car dyno with trifecta with tune updates and the guys car put down 310 hp and 330trq. so go ahead and call it a canned tune but its not. its worked straight from a computer just like hp tuners.

 

zzp can also send you an E85 tune.

 

1. your biased right off the bat
2. there are plenty of shops that can do custom tunes
3. there are many good freelance tuners on this site if you havent noticed. Many of which can even have the user log, send data and get a tune back over many logs.
4. a trif tune can **** your car up too
5. 310hp can be had stock, not sure what your mods are but its common knowledge the trif tune is kind of conservative.
6. its a can tuned unless it is custom tuned to your car. Its also common knowledge each car will act slightly different to each tune, hence the custom part.

 

HMMM trifecta or zzp I have to think about that one. maybe who ever is cheaper lol! jk

 

well zzp I remember they made a post that they did run a SC/SS with 80's on e85. give them a call and see what they say.

 

I will be out in elk grove california which is right next to sacramento. If your interested I could tune you for e85 when I get out there, let me know. I have tuned a lot of cars on these forums and have a great reputation in the lsj community, let me know as I will be down there at the end of this month.
