Tonight I filled the tank with E85 for the first time! However this is just temporary until Shaun Mcdonald helps me get it all dialed in the right way, but I tried the 60's gas tune with 80'sn E method for now and it is working out pretty good. First I got my fuel trims dialed in on the 60's and pump (been wanting to dial in at low throttle for the longest time and finally got my own laptop) then I swapped in the 80's and filled up with teh E. Either tomorrow or friday I will do some driving and logging to get my fuel trims and MAF all dialed in since I imagine E messed things up a bit, then ill let shaun have his way with it whenever he is ready (for those who dont know he is shaunmcdee on here I believe.)

Some things I noticed:
Had PE set to 11.6 and on E it was around 12.2 on the WB, but it is also cold out, so Ill have to adjust that and work the maf. Ebristol noticed this too IIRC.

Torque is rediculous. Im just running 23* from my meth timing table, but it seems stronger than my 2.7 meth setup and im only on the 2.8.

So far it seems like the 80's idle better than the 60's and get to stoich at idle easier.

I only got to drive around for a little less than an hour but so far E seems like teh goodness, and you get to smell like corn

 

well, if youre running E85, you're spraying a lot more fuel, so idling would be a lot smoother since its not using such short IPWs

 

I cant wait to switch to e85. Are people with e85 still using meth? or is it pointless

 

^ pretty much pointless at that point. meth is what? like 110 octane? and e85 is 100+ octane. I'd have to look up the actual octane ratings

 

yeah when i ran e85 it was soo much fun lol. maybe i try e85 on my turbo swap. if anyone is looking to go e85 i got 80lbs for sale

 

E and turbo would be win! Sorry I didn't take your 80's rico, if I hadn't
found these i would have

 

yep once i get car running and dialed in and a clutch im going to put it on e and see whats up . and lol its all good man. someone will want them i hope. i see ur liking E tho huh good stuff

 

Yeah its fun so far! I cant wait to put the 2.7 back on and have more fun!

 

kool shaun is a good tuner!

he tunes me as well.

 

Can someone tell me what is needed to run e85. Everything

 

80lb injectors and a tune. helps if u have 2.8 pulley atleast too if any ?s pm me

 

E85=The Shiznit

 

shaun tuned me too. great tune

why do u need 80s to run e85? does it use alot more fuel? gas mileage severely effected?

 

You need roughly 30% more E85 to accomplish the same thing as conventional gas. Its much cheaper though so you still end up spending less for fuel. You'll just be visiting the E85 station more often. So to answer your question...yes your mpg will be affected.

 

gay. especially considering the only two i have here are like 20 miles away. but... yay for more power! so, i need 80s and what else to use e85?

 

a tune at least.

 

^Yeah. A tune is a must! Don't do it and not tune.

 

a tune the injectors and e85 and lets go. i got 80s for sell pm me if interested

 

but, if i tune and put 80s on, then i basically have to use E85 for ever? what happens if i cant find a E85 station. ( i travel a lot )

 

no u can use regular gas too just have to be tuned for it. 80s are just like 60s but bigger, and capable of running e85 while 60s cant unless ur on a stock pulley or something i heard

 

what im saying is, if i tuned for e85, would i have to reflash to my old tune if i couldnt find e-85 gas where ever i was? im confused...

 

keep a laptop with both tunes. if you cant find E85, fill up with premium and load the premium tune.

 

thats too much hassle. i guess i should wait to ensure e-85 is available ... lol everywhere

 

Man this community REALLY needs something like a Diablosport Predator or Diablosport Trinity. Plug in, flash tune, 1min total, your good to go....

Car can have proper tune on it before your finished filling up.

 

ur right....
