For me after switching to e85 I noticed my exhaust was a lot more subdue. Sounded smoother compared to gas which would burble and sound louder. I’m fully catless at the moment yet I still remember being more cautious of how loud my car was (when avoiding police) when I was on gas with my stock front pipe. Even if I rev up to 5k and let off I get no burbles |

it s mostly cause of more advanced ignition timing
it tames the deepening of the sound while increasing power For any of you that is using OTS E85 tunes... You still have a lot of headroom everywhere if you only were using custom refined tune |

So there's still potential for OTS users to get more out of the tune? Is that something a local shop could do? Or should we reach out to Openflash directly?

Hello everyone,
I’m the second owner of the 2014 BRZ and bought it at 70k. Before me it was only run on 91; however, I switched to corn at 72k and ran it exclusively on the OFT Stage2+e85 map (no flex fuel). I did not notice any power losses and was able to take the car to official drag races down at Race Legal in Qualcomm Stadium; although I can’t remember my specific time, I did win 1st place street stock (I beat a V6 mustang by the smallest margin possible). At roughly 87k I added a sprintex supercharger and went with an ecutek flex tune from Mike over at Moto-East/Xero Limit; I still haven’t ran 91 as I’ve only been on e85 and I am now at 118k and going. If it helps, I change my oil (Schaffers) every 3k and switch between 0w20 in the winter/colder months and 0w40 in the summer/hotter months; I occasionally (like once a month if I remember) run a serving of the lucas oil e85 conditioner/stabilizer to hopefully prevent the fuel system from being gummed up as some people claim may happen. The vehicle is used for everything if anyone is curious (daily, track, autocross) To summarize: 72k on 91 15k on e85 NA 31K on e85 boosted Total: 118k on stock block with 72k on 91 and 46k on e85 I have attached the link for the product I use https://www.autozone.com/fuel-and-en...E&gclsrc=aw.ds |

Just curious, has anyone running flex fuel with forced induction in a CARB-compliant state successfully passed emissions?

So why not? Is it because a tuned, forced induction FA20 will produce more emissions and therefore it would exceed allowable amounts or because the emissions would be so much lower than the test would "expect" to see and fails because the assumption is that something else must be wrong to result in lower numbers. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I literally just don't know. I'm going on the high-level assumption that using flex fuel = lower emissions, but I have no idea how forced induction affects that assumption in practice.

The only way to know in your area is to run the car at an emission test facility and see if it passes.

2014. 55,000 miles. About 15,000 on E85. Borla header, Berk free-flow cat front pipe, Phantom electric supercharger (Switched off right now till I can find the boost leak.) Strong, linear pull through the full torque range. Significant improvement over stock.
