E85 NA Tune

zer099 · 05-01-2017, 11:44 AM

TopSpeed Motorsports and yes: ECUTek, and I am using a Innovate ECF-1 gauge and sensors. Repurposed the fuel pressure sensor to do oil pressure. I wouldn't recommend running with the R35 injectors for more then a minute or two. Odds are high she will run super rich, go into LIMP mod and pull the timing which will then cause your headers to turn red hot... ask me how I know that will happen. Had to get a tow truck to take the car to the tuner; luckily insurance covered the trip.

I already did the upgrade and dont have time to get it retuned for another month, so do you think it be safe to drive if i mix half e85 and half regular in the tank since e85 makes the car run much leaner since it needs about 30% more fuel compared to regular ? Thanks for answering before as well!

First off, don't do it. But just to be honest, many people add a gallon or 2 of E85 to like 3-4 gallons of 93 and do just fine without a tune on many different platforms. Not smart but, its been done.

This is a bad idea. If you have to do it, drive like your grandmother.
