E85 or 100 octane

[4DRHTRD]

I'm taking to Aeroforce to be able to provide a kit for you guys so that we can do an Ethanol gauge as part of the Aeroforce gauge setup.
Also made a new thread looking for volunteers for Andy Quaas to come out and use your vehicle to create a plug and play kit - http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,3285.msg48707/topicseen.html#new

Wish I wasn't stranded in the middle of the US. All the cool stuff goes on without me hah.

It would be awesome to get Aero force to add that in. Since I'd look like a idiot testing fuel at the station before I fill up, haha.

I can tell by my fuel trims that the E85 here is extremely consistent.

I'm just going to wait till I'm tuned and the downpipe and cutout are on the car.

My suspicion is I will be at the point that going further will probably cause things to start going boom.

I want to see how much safe power can be made with basic bolt ons and tune with the corn then I'm probably done for a while with he exception of some lightweight wheels.

 

[4DRHTRD]

I have some lightweight wheels in 17x8's

Im reconsidering the option to upgrade the turbos now. Seems we may have a little more fuel than I originally believed

 

[wasinger3000]

Just logged my newest tune. Looks great. 0 knock, 226kpa, 2300frp.

Does the 13' Flex have the same pump as the 13 SHO?

 

[Josephm]

FRP= fuel rail pressure or fuel rear pressure?

 

[panther427]

FRP= fuel rail pressure or fuel rear pressure?

Fuel RAIL pressure.  At least for this car lol.

 

[wasinger3000]

Yeah fuel rail pressure is what I'm referring to. I'm almost positive the sho and flex share the same fuel system.

 

[4DRHTRD]

All the transverse have the same fuel system.

2013 and up SHO got the upgrade fuel pump correct? I was searching for a part number last night for new fuel pump

Found out the car won't start on e30 with the stock tune... hah.

 

[SHOdded]

Interesting!  A defensive mechanism or simply too much octane for stock tables?

Do you have a 3 bar sensor, cause it won't start with that installed either...

 

[Boggus]

Mine will start with a 2bar tune and the 3 bar map installed.  Just doesn't like to idle smooth

Yeah that too. Hah. So I guess I better keep that 2 bar in the trunk just in case.... This ecm is such a baby!

 

[wasinger3000]

Also tested some 91 fuel that I filled up with last night. It has 0% ethanol in it. Which is weird cause its the same price as 91 with 10%. Not sure if that's good or bad since they use a lower grade base to make the 91 with 10% maybe this is better since it's a true 91? Idk. I guess I need some way to test octane.

Something is not right there. I've been well over 30 with no issues. Even At that blend there's plenty of pump gas to get the party started.

The intercept and slope is different on the 2 bar vs the 3 bar, it's getting different pressure readings than actual readings, that's the problem.
