GL guys. Emptying my tank now.

 

So I talked to Seb and the way he tunes E85 on a map is he drains the tank as much as possible the fills half way with e85 then adds 91 to it and dumbs it down to e10 so you can mix e85 and 91 with out any issues.. He programs ecutek to run e10 through e85 on 1 map..it's about 1400 installed if you want to run a E85 gauge

 

yup, been emailing him about cost. the majority of the price is the dyno time, at 900$ it is going to consume most of the day. I'm planning on doing this exact setup, flex fuel sensor and one map that can run any range of petro and e85 mixture. I have an e85 station right next to my house so I'll run e85 all the time mainly.

 

Looks like I'm setup to get this installed 11/11. if I can get off work, I'll have some impressions to report back on this thread. I'll try to post pre and post dynos, the first being my current setup on 91 and then the full e85 tune. let's hope I can make a little extra power on the corn.

 

yeah a whole day of tuning but i don't mind hanging out with him and the crew they are always a blast to talk to..
i'm going to have to check on the prices of E85 here from the map i was looking at the prices weren't very up to date!
it shows a price of 3.22 for E85 from 4 months ago

 

that price is about right, I think the station I'm going to get it from is about the same. I'm in cali though so the prices here are normally higher than everywhere else in the country. still less than the crappy 91 though.

 

wow, e85 is $1.60 across the street from me here in Houston

 

Yeah we get screwed here in cali, I wish e85 was that cheap.

 

I wish I had e85 at the pump period. Highest is 93. Could buy a drum from napa for a few hundred but nah. My car is a dd, not a race car. Going e85 is always the way though. But it's better on ecutek because of the ability to add timing on the intake cams. Gtr injectors (570cc) are ideal for na applications. F.i. should be at least 750cc-1000cc to compensate. The 340 walbro fuel pump should be sufficient and stock lines.

 

according to my tuner, the fuel pump is not needed. just injectors and the flex fuel sensor. I have gtr injectors ready to go and the sensor is ready, just waiting for 11/11 for the switch.

 

You still on for tomorrow with Seb?

 

I had to postpone my appointment due to finances. I'm looking to get the conversion done in early December. sucks, but can't swing it right now.

 

What flex fuel sensor did you go with

 

I'm going to go with the xeitronix in line e85 sensor. there is also a meter that goes with it to show you the percentage of e85 your running and also the fuel temp. I think the kit is priced at 259$.haven't bought it yet but that's the direction I'm leaning towards.
